I feel for you Mark!!
My neighbour across the road started doing her deccies a few weeks ago, only the sheds have been done so far.
Once it is finished I will post pics.
She has a HERD of reindeer not to mention santas and snowmen etc etc etc
Have told her she will bring down the power grid.

That's more like it. ;D We had dozens of guisers visiting us tonight! I had carved two pumpkins (thank goodness we don't have to carve turnips any more) to the children's specifications: Tigger and a flaming car!!! ::)

Brillant Anthony . Your other talents are showing  ;D I do remember how hard the turnips were to carve but boy they are tasty ( turnip and mash ) my favorite.

Our turnips are melon-sized, Mark. Supermarkets call them Swedes, but we know differently. ;)

If we put our christmas lights up now, the Sulphur Crested Cockatoos would have them destroyed by Christmas.  ;D  They are very inquisitive (and destructive) not-so-little beasties!  ;)

Not sure whether this should be in the Moan thread or the I'm so happy thread..... I've just realised that I have now collectively spent more than 12 weeks on this forum.  :o  Scary eh? ::)

Paul 12 weeks :o ... all I can say I have enjoyed your postings so I think you should have put this in the happy thread. I can say I have enjoyed every minute on this forum and find instead of watching rubbish on the television I am learning all the time on the forum and when I am not learning I am having a giggle, so many of our members are so funny, always putting a smile on my face. I bet you have made so many friends and had so much fun and that's what I joined this forum for.
Keep it up, here is looking forward to your next 12 weeks  :D ;D
