RAD CHRISTMAS
Mum-of-22 Sue Radford gets in the festive spirit as she eyes up £60 Christmas train decoration and GIANT toadstools
MUM-of-22 Radford might already have two Christmas trees for her former care-home but that didn’t stop her eyeing up another one today.
The mum of Britain’s biggest family oohed and ahhed as she visited a local garden centre to check out the range of festive decorations on offer.

Joined by her own mum, Sue, 45, toured a garden centre in Ambleside sharing her findings on the family channel.
“I’ve had my eye on this Christmas tree for a little while and I’m going to see what it’s like an I might purchase a new tree,” she says.
While she was able to resist a new tree, the mum was quickly encouraging her brood to fill their trolley with a myriad of new baubles and tree ornaments.
Sue says: “I think this year my theme is gonna be pink in the dining room because I’ve got my pink chairs and then red in my living room.”
The mum also had her eye on some larger decorations admitting she was sorely tempted by some life size toadstools as well as metal train set coming in at a £60.
With so many kids to cater for at Christmas, it's no wonder that the Sue has already started on her festive prep.

Last week revealed she has already started on the mammoth task of finding gifts for her bumper brood.
Taking to Instagram, Lancashire-based Sue showed how she has done a big toy order from Smyths Toys, and wrote: “So it begins.”
We can't deny that Christmas is a hugely stressful (and expensive) time for most parents - but when you have 22 kids, the costs shoot through the roof.
As the parents of Britain's biggest family, Noel and Sue always go the extra mile to ensure their ALL kids have a very special Christmas.
But needless to say, this doesn't come cheap - and the proud parents reportedly spent a whopping £5,000 on presents every December and a further £300 on their food shop.
In previous years, Noel and Sue revealed that they spend between £100 and £250 on each of their children.
So in the months leading up to Christmas, the parents pinch their pennies to save £5,500 to buy the kids' presents.
And while most families simply chuck their presents under the tree when they're wrapped, Sue has a personalised sack for each child so the gifts don't get mixed up - and to save herself having to buy hundreds of tags.
What's more, Noel and Sue also get through a staggering 70 rolls of wrapping paper every year.
According to Mail Online, she can wrap 20 presents in just 15 minutes - and can easily get hundreds of gifts ready in a single evening.
The family famously doesn’t rely on benefits and is supported by their pie shop business.
The Radfords, who live in a 10-bed former care home, often show off their millionaire lifestyle on Instagram.
This includes having an outdoor cinema, TV bed, new £6,500 fridge, and a £30,000 Range Rover car.

The family have recently opened their doors for Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting show, which documented their lives under one roof.
In the show, Sue revealed they have spent £1million raising their large brood and she has been pregnant for 16-and-a-half YEARS.
