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

I would be tempted to bid on that as a passive-aggressive present.

Twenty-four days of crap. It's the PA gift that keeps on giving.

Or alternatively I could buy the empty Liberty box and 'curate' my own out of Poundland multipacks and those free Collection 2000 lipsticks you used to get sellotaped to the front of magazines.

"On the Sixth Day of Shitness my true love gave to me..."

That is correct, up to 11 bids now! £36 for a pile of shit!

My bad, I was on mobile and didn't remember how to format links:

Bidding war!!

brand new, 4 sold 1 left, £129.99

Disclaimer, I'm not a seller. I just find it hilarious. In other news, EMPTY Liberty calendar - as in, pretty box for 40 quid!!!

Did I read that right? Looks like there is a bidding war on ebay for one of these calendars 😂

ArchchancellorsHat · 05/12/2017 19:31

I clicked my heels together too ! Bloody browser

If you say it 3 times it might come true Archchancellor Grin

ArchchancellorsHat · 05/12/2017 19:20

Bluesky, if you've been good all year, maybe Santa will bring you a tiny funnel? Or maybe not.

I don't think we are ever going to reach the highs of The Funnell again😩

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/12/2017 16:04

Tomorrow's door will be the test. If it reveals something crap, it will prove my theory to be optimistic shite. Xmas Hmm

Littlehenrylee · 05/12/2017 15:41

Ilostit I tip my hat to your optimism Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/12/2017 15:32

Day 5's offering isn't too bad. Hopefully they've designed the calendar so that it starts badly and gradually improves?
At this rate, day 24 may well be a Chanel perfume and the funnel, dust and eye watering "mascara" will be a distant memory.

blueskyinmarch · 05/12/2017 15:28

I don't have an advent calendar at all this year. Not even a glittery paper one with a picture of the nativity on the front and pictures of holly and Christmas puddings behind the doors. This thread is all the advent calendar one needs i believe.

TSSDNCOP · 05/12/2017 15:16

£50 says it goes on liney, the glitter doesnt stick but the funnel does and the whole lot peels off an hour after you apply it. Except the funnel which will be stuck.

Xmas Grin kit you got dust?! I guess you'll just have to wait for your pigments, although it's understandable if the excitement gets too much and you end up ripping through the calendar to get your hands on it.

Is the dust as marvellous as it looks?

£7 for last years calendar Shock HOF should wear balaclavas!

It's finally here. This thing that connects the glitter and the funnel (maybe? I don't know). The nail varnish!!

5 days in and I can finally beautify myself. Off-red nails with a layer of thick ginormous glitter particles carefully funnelled for precision, eyes smeared in sparkle-free, shit-coloured, sand-textured glitter pigments. Topped off with a mascara produced with the sole intention of blinding people.

Don't I feel smug Xmas Hmm So glad I didn't have to endure one of the other advent calendars, I'd be sitting here with volumised hair, beautifully moisturised hands, glossy lips and smelling fragrant. How awful.

"Someone needs to try snorting one of those dodgy glitter pots, and maybe lighting the mascara wand?"

I just inhaled my lunch laughing monty.

I think cheese has realized the calendar isn't worth getting out of bed for.

fishonabicycle · 05/12/2017 11:14

Last year's calendar looks much the same and is available for £7!!! Interested cheesy?

Littlehenrylee · 05/12/2017 11:08

Come on Cheese. Have you already opened today’s offering and are too awestruck to settle yourself to type or are you excitedly applying the treasure and parading yourself in the streets for all to admire?

Come back inside, it’s cold and we have to know.

MontyPythonsFlyingFuck · 05/12/2017 11:05

Perhaps the entire calendar is stuffed with disguised drugs paraphernalia. Someone needs to try snorting one of those dodgy glitter pots, and maybe lighting the mascara wand?

ArchchancellorsHat · 05/12/2017 10:26

Was it a sparkly shit stain, OP or just a shitty shit stain? And wtf is eyeshadow dust - eyeshadow they didn't bother pressing down?

The funnel pic has taken all the romance out of it :(

TSSDNCOP · 05/12/2017 09:55

What’s behind the Door 5?

Mooey89 · 05/12/2017 07:56

kit
I got the shitty eyeshadow dust too... in the fetching shade of ‘sleep dust’

I’m so disappointed, I’m tempted to write a strongly worded letter to HoF

katmarie · 05/12/2017 00:59

Shamelessly placemarking! this is truly the gift that keeps on giving!
