So it arrived damaged. Never mind, I thought, it's what's inside that counts...

A lady on Instagram put high end make up on her cat's belly, close cropped it and passed it off as a luxury rug.

TSSDNCOP · 07/12/2017 11:15

It’s like Advent Father Ted: Is the hof product measuring cat near, or far away 🤣

NotMyMonkees · 07/12/2017 08:14

One day someone will Google for images of cats paw and come across your photo entirely without context 😂 truly this advent calendar is a gift without limits

BusterGonad · 07/12/2017 07:48

I'm loving the cats paw!

fidgettt · 07/12/2017 00:02

Next year I'll be buying you a shit advent calendar for you to review for us OP Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/12/2017 23:59

Ah that classic scale measuring device- your cat. Grin
Maybe tomorrow the world's smallest tweezers.

CrypticClues · 06/12/2017 22:59

Open the 7th now! It's nearly midnight...

MissMustBeAMug · 06/12/2017 22:58

This is now my go to morning thread while I’m munching my advent chocolate Grin

snowflakestar · 06/12/2017 22:56

Wow! Words fail me.

Aridane · 06/12/2017 22:41

Love it - almost wish I had a HoF calendar so I could enjoy the shit with you

iwouldgoouttonight · 06/12/2017 22:40

Aw it looks as though your cat is waiting for a mini pedicure with the little nail file.

I apologise, I couldn't find any practical measuring instrument to use for an illustration of scale so I instead used my cat's paw. He's a very small cat. But I now realise you'll probably need to see my cat next to something that doesn't vary in scale Xmas Confused gosh this is getting complicated - where is the bloody ruler?!

Xmas Grin Trinity, the person who designed the calendar is the comedian! I'm just sharing the shit.

iLost I'm sorry your optimism was wasted on this calendar. I admire you for trying to make the best of this terrible situation Xmas Smile

Oh wow!!!! Please please keep this going throughout advent. It has made my day to find this thread Grin

RJnomore1 · 06/12/2017 19:55

Totally taken the shine off my primer for me. Thanks cheese you stinking show off!

Deathraystare · 06/12/2017 17:33

Cheese is one lucky lady. She has been well spoilt!

I can hardly bear to tune in tomorrow as I am already green with envy! To think I decided not to buy the advent calender of shite! More fool me! Do you think next year's will have a funnel???

I bet Zoella will have a funnel in her's next year. We can but hope!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/12/2017 17:31

Good Lord a nail file for a small dolly. This is worse than funnel gate.

ArchchancellorsHat · 06/12/2017 15:52

They even put their name on it. Anywhere else would have been embarrassed, but not House of Fraser. They are proud of their festive offerings.

TrinityBelle · 06/12/2017 13:42

Cheese you really should consider a career in comedy. This has been my favourite thread in ages!

iwouldgoouttonight · 06/12/2017 12:26

Having looked at that (miniscule) nail file I've realised that House of Fraser is an anagram of Fur of Seahorse. That's probably what you'll be getting tomorrow. You could maybe use it on your eyebrows.

HuskyMcClusky · 06/12/2017 12:25

🤣🤣🤣

TSSDNCOP · 06/12/2017 12:16

That’s not a nail file. That’s a quarter of a nail file.

eenymeenymaccaracca · 06/12/2017 10:28

AHAHAHA A FRIGGING NAIL FILE!!

Ambassadeur, you are spoiling us.

I got 6 of those free with my fungal nail treatment and they didn't have an advertising logo blazened on them either.

LavenderTrug · 06/12/2017 10:28

Cheese please can you take a photo of the tiny funnel against a tape measure? I need to understand the full extent of its tinyness.

(Thank you for the new intro, eeny) On the Sixth Day of Shitness my true love gave to me...

A fucking nail file.

I'm almost too worried to post a photo, I fear it may encourage burglars to track down my house in an attempt to steal the wonder that has appeared behind door 6. This must be how celebrities feel.

Our old favourite the funnel is making a return appearance for scale, not to rub your faces in my fortune, although I know it'll bring back the green eyed monster in most of you.

Nail varnish, glitter for nails, funnel for glitter, nail file - surely we've reached the end of the nail related shite?!
