How do you get the star on top of the Christmas tree?

I’ve just received the college library’s Christmas tree for this year. As ever the staff at our garden centre (we’re predominantly an agricultural and countryside based college) have done me proud. I’ve been given a gorgeous, shapely tree with branches at an ideal angle for hanging baubles. smiley - xmastree

The problem however – the tree is 8ft tall at least. Even breaking various health and safety rules (smiley - shhhthe boss isn’t about today) I can’t reach the top of the tree, or reach it sufficiently near the top to bend the tree down so I can reach it.

Any suggestions as to how I get the star on?

Oh, and any suggestions of finding a helpful caretaker with a long stepladder will be met with smiley - rofl. I’ve been waiting a year and two months now for the light bulb in my office to be replaced!

No pipes, just a roof beam.

Hmmm, two bambo poles, an elastic band and me standing on the issue desk might just do it. smiley - smileyThanks Vip
