I know I am, but I really really really really want it

Would it make any difference if I told you I was 46 and have never had an advent calender?

I love the way it says "It's at the top of every woman's wish list this Christmas"

Errrr no it's not Grin

FetchezLaVache · 01/10/2011 13:14

Well that only works out at £1.73 a year! YANBU.

But YABVVU to share the link on here because now I want one too.

GeeinItLaldy · 01/10/2011 13:14

OMG! I want. I want. I want.

YADDDDNBU!

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow · 01/10/2011 13:15

The same one was £70 last year and £50 the year before which is why i've always baulked at paying that much money. - In any case, they sell out really really quickly.

I want it so badly Sad

I want!!!

And each item works out at £3.33 too, so its a bargain when you look at it that way!

Greensleeves · 01/10/2011 13:17

YANBU to spend your money on whatever your little heart desires

YABU to post about advent calendars in EARLY OCTOBER Grin

GetOrfMo1Land · 01/10/2011 13:21

God I want that.

Lancome stuff is brilliant.

Thanks for the link

nickschick · 01/10/2011 13:23

I want to say YABU its £80 ffs butI cant .......you need this.

allhailtheaubergine · 01/10/2011 13:48

Oh I SO want to be snotty and sneer about this... but ... I need it too.

aldiwhore · 01/10/2011 13:50

Get it. Notmy cup of tea, but get it. x

WakeMeUpWhenSeptemberEnds · 01/10/2011 13:54

Lancome is my single biggest ethical dilema as it's owned by nestle and I'm a nestle boycotter. Which is actually very easy apart from lancome stuff which is the only stuff that suits my skin.

That advent calender is waaaaaay too tempting!

trixymalixy · 01/10/2011 13:55

Oh my! I neeeeeeed!!

nbee84 · 01/10/2011 13:56

I need one too!

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 01/10/2011 13:57

Great... thanks, OP. I want it too. Angry

TidyDancer · 01/10/2011 13:57

Ooh that's the best advent calendar ever! I think I might leave the page open so DP can just 'accidentally' see it!

sunnydelight · 01/10/2011 13:58

That looks fab - I wonder if they deliver to Oz?!

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 01/10/2011 13:58

YADDDNBU. And if anyone says you are, then I am also going to BU as will be treating myself to one too.

purplepidjinawoollytangle · 01/10/2011 13:59

How ridiculously sexist - every woman wants make up and perfume? WTAF??

From a practical point of view, if you would normally buy those products at a much higher price then look upon it as saving money. If it's full of crap you'll never use, spend a fiver on a nice Fairtrade chocolate one Grin

LadyBeagleEyes · 01/10/2011 13:59

Oh YANBU at all. I want it too. It's a bargain really.
Just imagine opening your advent calendar every day...
I love it.

LeBOF · 01/10/2011 14:00

Yes, because the baybee Jesus really wanted us to look and smell divine for His arrival, didn't He? Grin

Thumbwitch · 01/10/2011 14:00

YABU IMO - because you might not like half the products Wink.

Get one from Hotel Chocolat instead (if they even do them) - that would be more my style! Grin

SnapesOnAPlane · 01/10/2011 14:01

I've just ordered mine, I'm so excited :o I don't think I'll be able to wait for the actual days to open it.

helpmabob · 01/10/2011 14:01

Of course you should get it and hurry before it sells out.

WakeMeUpWhenSeptemberEnds · 01/10/2011 14:05
