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

Foolish lot. Those aren't martini glass stickers, they are quite clearly funnels.

toffee1000 · 16/12/2017 03:56

Just read the whole thread. This is BRILLIANT. Ken, glitter, dead spiders... what more could a girl want?? Xmas GrinXmas Grin

Cheeseandcucumber · 16/12/2017 11:33

Xmas Grin Ken for PM! Xmas Grin I'm sure he'd take on the role with great pleasure but he'd sell our country down the river at the shake of a bag of dreamies.

Our neighbours would sell many stories to the press, I fear it'd destroy Ken's campaign. He once mauled someone's defrosting Christmas (dead) turkey which had been left in their garage. He was caught in the act and shoed away. He showed no remorse.

Day 16 has brought us another eye crayon. This one is silver so maybe it's the evening colour to follow the flesh coloured crayon.

It's not sparkly Xmas Shock or shittery Xmas Shock and I'm extremely disappointed. I was hoping for a third set of stickers.

Oh no that's not on. That eye pencil is too normal. Must have been a packing error. Xmas Smile

ToucheEcat · 16/12/2017 12:16

I've been inspired to namechange as a homage to this marvellous glitter, sticker and funnel fest.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 16/12/2017 12:36

This has to go in classics.........
Ken told me telepathically Xmas Grin

Cheeseandcucumber · 16/12/2017 12:57

Xmas Grin Touché Ecat has to be one of the best puns ever invented. Xmas Grin The 'paw' minimiser had me chucking away for most of the day too!

This is the thread that just keeps giving Xmas Grin

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 16/12/2017 13:57

Thank you Cheese, I must admit it had me (as someone posted earlier or on another thread) laughing so much that my skeleton was trying to escape through my mouth.
This whole thread is hilarious. I love your deadpan writing style.

Kittykat93 · 16/12/2017 14:27

No idea how to bookmark using the app so just marking my place Blush this thread has cheered my morning up !!!!!!!

TitaniasCloset · 16/12/2017 15:44

How did they manage to create an advent calendar quite so shit? Were they still drunk last year after the office party? Was it a dare?

'Yeah Brenda we better crack on with next years AC, whoever comes up with the crappest gift gets the rest of the Christmas Prosecco and half a packet of mince pies!"

Brenda-
"I'm your girl! ...I'm thinking, a teeny, tiny funnel?"

Reviews on HofF website are funnel obsessed too!

sugarlost · 16/12/2017 19:22

Where’s Ken??? It’s not the same without him....is he sleeping?

Love the user name changes lol

This is a Christmas Cracker reject sadvent Calender...how dare they sell you this shite Cheese....maybe just for laughsXmas Confused

FlashTheSloth · 16/12/2017 21:33

OP, have you NC to KenForPM, as your posts won't show in colour now! Xmas Grin

I love my AC, but it's full of brilliant and useful things that I love (No7), this is far more entertaining. High point is definitely the funnel of mystery, low point, stickers.

Come HOF, stickers in an adult AC.

KenForPM · 16/12/2017 21:36

Noooo I’m KenForPM and not the OP GrinGrin I was toffee1000 if my first comment on the thread is still under that name.

Cheeseandcucumber · 16/12/2017 21:40

Ken is bowled over by the love on this thread.

Xmas Grin the name changes are marvellous!

Xmas Grin Tracy that's a brilliant description, posters on this thread have given me so many escaping skeleton moments Xmas Grin

I think I might have just binned the calendar after day 2 had I not had this thread to share the joy! Sounds like that's what others did from the reviews on HOF Xmas Grin

WE HAVE A PHOTO OF KEN THAT SHOWS HIS FACE!!! GrinGrinGrin

Ken may have to ask MNHQ to,delete this thread for privacy reasons

Cheeseandcucumber · 16/12/2017 21:49

Grin Ken thought his people should have a face to put to their new leader's name.

We've had the chat - if strangers stop him on the street and mention ACs/funnels, he's to lead them to a different house.

Ken is a BRILLIANT name for a cat!!

snowflakestar · 16/12/2017 22:49

Ken is gorgeous!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 16/12/2017 22:51

OMG Ken is such a cutie.
Is he a Norwegian Forest or Maine Coon or part extraction?
He deserves a modelling contract.
Also loving the new Ken inspired names.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 16/12/2017 23:30

I'm bewildered and utterly entranced by this thread, Cheese - and by the delectable Ken-the-Cat obviously.

I've never had an advent calendar with 'things' in and you've inspired me to get one next year. I'd better start saving up a squillion quid then.

Raptly waiting for tomorrow's horror. Grin
