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

My guess is a used cottonwool bud.

Arsenicinthesugarbowl · 03/12/2017 06:50

Morning! What’s in day 3? I’ve got the LF calendar but will wait for you before I open mine. How exciting. What will it be?

gunsandbanjos · 03/12/2017 06:37

Hurry up woman, don’t keep us in suspense...

SpeckledyHen · 03/12/2017 06:24

WAKE UP !!!

chloechloe · 03/12/2017 06:19

Where are you cheese? You could have set your alarm clock to keep us from waiting!

I do wonder how the planning meeting went when they were deciding what day to put the funnel in. Do you think there was a big debate about whether it should come before or after the beads? Or maybe somebody was frivolous enough to suggest they put the beads AND the funnel in the same day but got shot down - after all you don't want people to be too spoilt in the run up to Christmas!

Nettletheelf · 03/12/2017 01:37

Wake up soon, OP. I am very much enjoying your thread.

Incidentally, HAHAHAHAHA at whoever suggested that bloody Zoella was curating the HofF calendar. Perhaps the empress of crap will do a YouTube video explaining the uses of your funnel.

Nannyplumssillyoldelf · 02/12/2017 23:30

I can't wait for day 3.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 02/12/2017 23:30

Oh place marking for entertainment value.
Our HOF had one open, not the greatest marketing strategy. Ruined the surprise of the little funnel for one thing.

sweatylemon · 02/12/2017 23:18

Can't wait for day 3 Grin

Asmallrole · 02/12/2017 23:13

Place marking to hope it improves !

clairethewitch70 · 02/12/2017 23:04

Just think OP, in 1 hour you can open number 3, we are waiting

clairethewitch70 · 02/12/2017 23:02

I reckon number 1 and 2 go together. Number 1 is not a mascara. It is black paint with a brush. You have to paint the small end of the funnel with the mascara brush, then use to stamp on designer moles. Just what every girl wants, a mole stamp Xmas Grin

Unicorn81 · 02/12/2017 22:57

Mini funnel to easily fill your hip flask so you remain drunk throughout December and then the rest of the advent doesnt seem shit?

Apileofballyhoo · 02/12/2017 22:23

Oh what joy will tomorrow bring? Best Advent calendar ever. This made me really laugh, OP.

Xmas Grin day 12 is either a dreidel or a kebab, I'm sure if it!

We're in this together, Kit Grin That is a good idea for the use of the funnel but make sure you keep your eye on it, there are a lot of MNers out there who are now desperate to get their hands on one.

I have this too. My DS10 laughed so hard at my face when I opened door 2 this morning, he had a coughing fit.
I googled and I thought it was to funnel liquid make up into smaller containers for travel.

DuckOffAutocorrectYouShiv · 02/12/2017 21:56

I am coveting your funnel, cheese

clairethewitch70 · 02/12/2017 21:50

Looking behind the picture of the funnel, what on earth is day 12 going to be?

Opheliasgoldenwine · 02/12/2017 21:47

This is a great thread Grin

problembottom · 02/12/2017 21:04

I'm enjoying this thread too. If only I had the time (or the inclination) to funnel nail beads onto my talons...

Xmas Grin I'm not sure I'll bother opening any more doors as I now have all I could possibly need! 5 min wear mascara that stings? Check. Funnel? Check.

I definitely wouldn't pay £12.50 for it. I'm offended to receive it for free.

Orange thank goodness you found HOF's useful description - it answers all but 198 of our questions Grin

I might gift it to FIL as a golf tee, iwould Xmas Grin

I've got a HoF ad at the bottom of this thread. If only they knew.

I want a little funnel now.
