to have got DS an advent calender complete with his name iced onto it....

[DudeInaTutu]

despite the fact he is 21 next week.

I got DD one aswell, she is 15. i couldnt get one without the other they are naice thorntons chocolate ones.

DH thinks im a loon.

If you were my mum I'd love you forever

I may get one for my husband tomorrow.

But isn't that unfair on the one with the shorter name?

I wish you were my mum

I hope mum gets me one when she gets my son one

My Mum still gets mine and my brothers!
Tee hee because now she has my DH and SIL AND the DGC.....oh and I'm 32.....

I still get them for DS (24), DD (22) and DN (21). It would BU to stop

if DH keeps moaning i will eat the huge box of toffee i got since it was buy any 2 get a 3rd free....

I think your husband is jealous because he didn't get one

I'm 40 something and my mum still gets me one.

Well, re started getting me one.

She started buying them for the dgc and my (older) dsis complained that we were being left out.

I complained when she bought one for dgc and the cat (ffs!)....but not me

So she got us picture ones!

Hasn't made that mistake again!!!!!!

I got me and DP one of those last year

Yanbu,

Favouritism, MUM, I don't care if my siblings are 4 and 7 and I'm 24, buy me an advent dammit, and not that kinnerton shite the dcs accept, lindt cadburys at the very least.

I've got a Thornton's one for DD (23 at the end of Dec) with her name iced on it too, I haven't told DH because he would give me the eye rolling routine, he doesn't understand such matters.

Oooh.

How did I not know that Thorntons do chocolate advent calendars?

purple they ice names on to the big xmas day chocolate too for free! (im trying so desperately not to be grinchy about xmas but i may be going the other way....
soon the insane and ever so slightly scary grin will be fixed....

dh has one, he's 42. As do the 27 year old, 17 year old and 16 year old twins!

I get those ones, not only for my dc but also one for dh, my mum, my dad and my grandma (and one for me too :D) I'd love to get one for my brother but he can't have chocolate so thanks to the lovely people on here I found a Haribo one to import form Germany. I sent some lindt ones to friends and zhu zhu pets ones to my god-daughters.

I do love advent calendars, especially goodie filled ones and I don't care if anyone gets cat-bum mouth with me.

DH bought me one with my name on it.

I'm 34. I hope he will continue to buy them for me.

You are never to old for a thorntons advent calendar with your name on it.

My mum still does this for me........ I am 36 :)

Well. I'm very disappointed now.

I went to Thornton's after work today - and they "can't do any personalised icing at the moment". Boo.

Surely they should make sure that, at all times, at least one member of on-duty staff should be trained in how to ice someone's name onto the chocolates?

yah boo sucks! thats terrible purple - its not rocket science. takes all of 30 seconds....!

go back when there is an icing expert on hand....chistmas isnt christmas without a thorntons advent calender

I'm 20 and my gran sent me one in the post today!

my mum still gets me one now. im 29!

I bought DH a Marvel Avengers one. He's 35!

Nobody got me one the fuckers so I think I'll treat myself to a naice Thorntons one.

I'm 31 and this is the first year my mum hasn't bought me one

DP suggested we just buy one, but it wouldn't be the same - normally she gets it for my birthday (mid November). I'm bfing, too, so the chocolate would be guilt free

I bought a Thorntons advent calendar for my children - 13 and 20. They were 3 for 2, so I had the spare third one. My first advent calendar for years.
