Jeeessus! I'm sure your neighbours all sleep soundly!


Nah, seriously, lovely effort there. Glad to see some people still have the original Christmas spirit in them :)

BTW I'm glad I'm not paying your electricity bill..!

Er... Yes!! Sad as I am, I spent last year buying just about every in-car Christmas decoration I could find to shove in the 480 - looked awesome, if I do say so myself!! May put it all in the 360 this year as it has nice big windows. Ooooh and I have in-car flashing red+green LED's this year... Nothing like attracting attention to an old 360! sm97

Somebody (I think it was my brother ) put the house in for a local competition on BBC Three counties radio and it has been officially crowned the brightest light display in Milton Keynes :oops:

I wont tell you what she said (children might be reading this ) but has anyone got a spare room for a few nights (would also consider a shed , stable , manger etc )
