    Theres a house near (ish) to us in Launceston that really goes to town with lights and things in his front garden,  he’s got a lovely Santa grotto and a big nativity set, he collects for the Children’s Hospice so everyone goes to see them , it’s very nice really , not sure if I’d like to live next door to it.

    I'm lazy and don't like going up ladders.
    A string of white icicle lights across the front bay will do for us 😉.
    Spotted the first set had gone up last night, house at the end of the street. Others will soon be out with theirs which kind of nudges me to get a shift on.

    Maybe next weekend....😒
  • We bought a small potted christmas tree for a fiver a few years ago (it was 23rd dec so they were selling them off). Its about 3.5ft tall now in a large pot. We carry it around on to the front garden and put some lights around it. Thats as far as i go for outdoor stuff!

    Can you close the curtains on your patio doors, WE?  Might be better for neighbourly relations...  or blindfold the dog??
    Stopping the dog seeing cats in my garden is about as easy as stopping cats coming into my garden. :|

    No curtains at night?

    Curtains seem to make him worse. He keeps going to check there's nothing hiding behind them.

    crate training. Either for the dog or the baby. Or both. Or maybe just for you?

    My dog loved his crate, especially with a blanket draped over the top, a safe den which is what they would do in wild.

    His bed is under the table so same effect. I wouldn't keep him in a crate for more than a couple of hours though unless it was huge and I don't have the room for that. He's a restless dog and has joint problems now and then so he needs to be able to get up and move about.

    Gripe of the day. Why is that a t-shirt costs the same if you buy it in XS size or XXXL but if you want the same XS t-shirt in the long sleeve version it costs £10 more? There can't be any difference in the amount of fabric or stitching.
