Advent calendar issue...

Mred22 · 11/12/2022 22:54

DC went crazy tonight as she thought someone had eaten day 10!!

Think it must be an error. She has ripped off all the card doors.

I want to sort this.

Does anyone know which shop sells this (it was a gift):

Sort what? If she's destroyed the calendar why would you get another one and if it's not destroyed I assume she has the rest to open still?

I don't understand?

sanityisamyth · 11/12/2022 22:56

Poundshop

Ditto!

Yarnosaura · 11/12/2022 22:57

Eh?

milkysmum · 11/12/2022 22:57

I don't recognize it sorry.
What is it you are wanting to sort?

Adultchildofelderlyparents · 11/12/2022 22:58

Poundshop.
The missing chocolate has probably fallen down to the bottom of the box!

PurpleFlower1983 · 11/12/2022 22:58

I don’t get the issue.

PacificallyRequested · 11/12/2022 22:59

Eh? There's 10 doors open and one single digit door open but still attached (above the bear's ear). I suspect user error!

whatsinaname2 · 11/12/2022 23:04

I think you can sort it by popping to your local pound shop.

EVHead · 11/12/2022 23:10

Take the inside out of the box. It might have fallen down.

racingcar · 11/12/2022 23:17

Surely she ate day 10 yesterday when it was day 10...

The chocolate has probably slipped down if there's one missing.

Is she ND? How old is she?

Bintymcbintface · 11/12/2022 23:23

I wouldn't replace something ruined by a tantrum, let it be a lesson to your kid not to break their stuff in temper

MichelleScarn · 11/12/2022 23:30

Did she not have the 10th yesterday?

RedSoloCup · 11/12/2022 23:30

Nowhere will have these left now they sell out

She is 22 and may I ask ND?

We do think she has issues (on the spectrum OCD - as shown today with the no. 10 issue) thanks to all who have helped by the way, we are thinking to go to poundland now and get one and make it the same as it is (in her mind) and we will deal with the other issues later - its basically brought everything to a focus.

You're not going to get another advent calendar in Poundland on the 12th of December! Come on.

Dotcheck · 11/12/2022 23:33

She’s 22? Can she not go get her own crappy bit of chocolate?

Icanflyhigh · 11/12/2022 23:38

22??

Months I'm assuming.

RambamThankyouMam · 11/12/2022 23:44

Why would you try to find another one? Nothing to sort as far as I can see.

UmbilicusProfundus · 11/12/2022 23:47

22? That was an unexpected twist!

Bintymcbintface · 11/12/2022 23:52

Replacing an advent calendar your 22yo dd destroyed in a temper is exactly why she loses her shit over such trivial nonsense. Stop pandering to it

SuffolkUnicorn · 11/12/2022 23:55

The comments on here 🙄

SuffolkUnicorn · 11/12/2022 23:56

Poundland I guess op

UmbrellaSparrow · 11/12/2022 23:57

OP.. please explain what needs sorting. I'm genuinely confused. We are on the 11th day & 11 doors have been opened?
