    Never put them up in my house in the first place 🤷
    My decoration pics are from my parents place

    They are still up, they will get taken down when I have a spare few hours on a weekend and no chores to do!

    We took ours down on the 27th I don’t think mum likes how cluttered it had become 
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Yeah. Having to take it down at all is sad. And my sister almost fell out the loft whilst putting things back (I am too young to be allowed in the loft and all the dust might affect my breathing.) My sister actually took it down on 5th January- not 29th December

    Didn't even put up any decorations this year :( Usually my sister gets the decorations out from the loft but she was too scared because last time she went into the loft it went badly wrong.

    mine have been up since November and they're still up...probably gonna take them down tomorrow or Monday, but certainly before the 5th as that's tradition in our house.
