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

Oh and I added the penny, it wasn't included in the pot Xmas Grin HOF would have charged double to include pennies.

What the holy hell is that round black thing Xmas Shock

Tell HOF about the spiders legs - they may offer you some Colour Couture shit for free, say the whole range of shittery, plus the rest of the spider.

RJnomore1 · 10/12/2017 20:30

Omg

That's the spiders body

It's been in there so long it steszitszother six legs then died and mummified

RJnomore1 · 10/12/2017 20:30

Try again

It ate its other six legs

kwick · 10/12/2017 20:30

🤮

This thread is amazing. I have no beauty advent calendar at all, only a pathetic Kinder Bueno one. Thank you so much for allowing me to experience the joy of the HoF calendar vicariously through you, OP.

A word of warning though. Having got glitter in my eye last Christmas Day (thank you Tesco reindeer wrapping paper) I can confirm that it ruins Christmas morning drinks. So you may wish to re-assess your Christmas Day make-up plans which no doubt include all the glitter products from your calendar. Sorry to be a downer but better safe than sorry Xmas Sad

Opheliasgoldenwine · 10/12/2017 20:36

OP you need to complain and tell us what they say about the spiders leg! Xmas Grin So grim though Xmas Shock

HateSummer · 10/12/2017 21:38

OH! Shit! That’s a house spider’s body?!! And two legs? How?! This is not good. I can’t buy colour couture products anymore due to animal cruelty. Dammit.

RJnomore1 · 10/12/2017 21:42

Well is a House of Fraser spiders body

ArchchancellorsHat · 10/12/2017 21:54

Fucks sake. just when we all thought they couldn't surpass the funnel. Spider pieces.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/12/2017 21:57

Very good RJ Grin. A house spider of Fraser, mummified in glitter. This has to be the worst door (so far).

iwouldgoouttonight · 10/12/2017 22:02

That last photo looks like a fucking crime scene. Blood splatter, dismembered limbs...

You need to do some kind of forensic testing to see who was responsible for the spider murder.

GwenStaceyRocks · 10/12/2017 22:14

I've just discovered this thread and am so glad I decided against the HoF calendar ...
If it was actually the Hoff it might be better. I don't think he'd agree to spiders' legs Grin

whirlygirly · 10/12/2017 22:28

Holy fuck. This is the best thread ever. I am reading in bed and shaking with silent giggles trying not to wake Dp.
An actual spider... or spider bits. Boak.

Cheeseandcucumber · 10/12/2017 23:04

Xmas Grin it's certainly the most inventive calendar I've ever experienced.

Xmas Grin House spider or Fraser!

The ball is solid. I tried to squish it with the penny and it's indestructible - even the spiders they provide are shoddy.

I think I'll just send HOF a link to this thread as my complaint.

Oh what joy will tomorrow bring?!

Not just any spider, a hof spider!

Seriously though, I know we are all loving this thread but I really think you need to complain and send this thread to hof.

HateSummer · 11/12/2017 07:09

House of Fraser spider 😂😂, brilliant!

kwick · 11/12/2017 08:06

Please do not keep us in suspenders @Cheeseandcucumber - what delight is in today's door?

Aridane · 11/12/2017 08:37

suspenders? - lovely autocorrect

Littlehenrylee · 11/12/2017 08:44

From the recent tread on here complaining about HOF’s online customer service, they won’t even respond to your complaint.

Better to think of this thread as a PSA OP!

blueskyinmarch · 11/12/2017 09:12

I hope everyone got a spider in their glitter. Don't want any sense of favouritism by HoF

What's behind today's door, Cheese - the rest of the spider? A desiccated mouse?

Cheeseandcucumber · 11/12/2017 10:41

I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with door number 11.

It's not a tiny pot.
It's not glittery.
It doesn't contain body parts.
It's going straight in the bin.

How dare they put normal stuff in there?!
