Title: Anyone local selling Christmas trees
Post by: Sandy on December 03, 2010, 10:41:49 pm
Decided I want a large tree but we only have a small car, so an 8ft + one would not fit!!! I noticed some adds on Gumtree but I thought some one on here may want my trade, I need it delivered of course, anyone near to Clackmanna??????

Sandy,
I saw signs up out by Arndean for Christmas trees for sale last week, not sure if they deliver though. The Orchard in Alva do deliveries of Christmas trees but I'm not sure if they have any at the moment with all the bad weather.

We went into FOcus for something and saw a nice 7ft pretend one reduced by 70% and as money is becomming tight due to lack of guests (people are comming here but thier job is cancelled) and my partner cannot get to work and as an agency worker he gets nothing!!! not even saving on train fair as he has already paid!!!

I have a row of 6 or 7 conifers that could do with the tops taken off - anyone wants to do it and sell on or keep the top 8-12' is more than welcome but you'd need proper ropes etc to get up there ;)

We got one that was thrown out 2 years ago, I have now moved it to the front of the house and put it in a tub, all I need to do now is put the lights on it!!!!!! I always wish I was flush with money this time of year as you could buy loads of stuff cheap, especialy pre owned things, furniture, TV's cars etc, Oh well, maybe one day...I bet your 50 trees look stunning, we rented a cottage next to a CHristmas tree plantation and I had an urge to go and put decorations on them all!!
