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

The House of Funnel Club sounds like a cool trendy nightclub in central London. So far removed from the HOF shitmas sadvent calendar. Grin

LizzieSiddal · 19/12/2017 22:19

This thread is bloody brilliant Xmas Grin

Mind you, that's the exact opposite of the contents of that calendar.

neveradullmoment99 · 19/12/2017 22:59

None of the contents can be used with the funnel?
If you use the funnel for the glitter, where are you funnelling it too? Into the varnish? Am i missing something????

Everytime I'm seeing the word 'funnel' now I have that song, Funboy Three's "Tunnel of Love" in my head and I'm replacing 'Tunnel' with 'Funnel, of course...

Cheeseandcucumber · 20/12/2017 11:11

Xmas GrinXmas Grin We have a House of Funnel club with our very own theme tune.

Flash two funnels is outrageous. I bet even the Queen doesn't have TWO funnels.

Day 20 (can't believe we're on day 20!) brings us some more coloured glue. I swatched it on the door and within seconds it had gathered lots of dust so I may leave splodges of it around to aid with house cleaning. HOF are always thinking outside of the box with their gifts [santa]

HOF diet lip gloss - glues your lips together so you can't eat Xmas Grin

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 20/12/2017 11:27

Oh that would double-up very nicely as theatrical blood... Cheese, you'd have HOURS of fun sploding it here and there with one giant 'Splat' as a finale. Grin

ColourCature · 20/12/2017 12:44

Eew. It’s mucousy red coloured like a bloody show. 🤢

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 20/12/2017 12:52

Yuk yuk yuk looks like something's been murdered.............a mouse perhaps?
Eyes the Tabbies suspiciously Xmas Shock

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 20/12/2017 12:53

Or maybe that's why the spider is dessicated, as the lip gloss is spider blood.
Omg there could be a warehouse full of desiccated dead spiders Xmas Shock

LemonShark · 20/12/2017 14:15

You're hilarious OP, I'm loving this thread! It's a daily delight to check in and see what you have been gifted with as I smugly open my beautiful NYX calendar and get loads of usage out of each item 😂😂😂

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 20/12/2017 16:44

ColourCature I don't think any of us can unsee your description of the mucousy bloody show now. Shock
I wonder if that's the description on the packaging? "A bold mucousy blood colour, perfect for a night out with the one you love" Grin

I love Ken's world domination tactics Xmas Grin I've nominated this thread for Classics.

ElephantsandTigers · 20/12/2017 17:21

This thread I should fabulous!

I have a Paddington Bear calendar. Opened day 6 today. Not sure I've got the hang of AC. Bit like HOF.

mrssmiling · 20/12/2017 17:33

Have really enjoyed this thread....however, having had a rotten experience with HoF delivery and their abysmal customer service, can't help feeling that HoF's general failure to delight their customers is a disgrace. Looking at their Facebook page and other threads, it seems that lots of other people feel the same way. I will not use them again.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 20/12/2017 17:40

Elephants intrigued. Are you getting mini pots of marmalade behind the doors?

ElephantsandTigers · 20/12/2017 17:47

TracyB - no, just pieces of chocolates with pictures on. Quite nice chocolate to be fair.

sugarlost · 20/12/2017 18:25

Will Ken & Misty get married??? HOF Sadvent could create a marriage...imagine the press coverage? They could marry on the same day as Harry and Meghan and Meghan could use all the Sadvent products for makeup which would save a lot of money and again press coverage would be fab for Cheese.... imagine all the freebies she would be sent to blog about and the Royal circles Ken would enter to help with his world domination plan !!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 20/12/2017 18:32

I'm seeing Ken and Misty (Kisty?) in Hello (sponsored by HOF, all products courtesy of ColourCature).

We can all blow confetti out of Cheese's funnels!

*that wasn't meant to sound as weird as it does. Confused

ColourCature · 20/12/2017 19:20

ILostIt, I bet they sourced the colour when a HoF product analyst went into spontaneous labour at seeing the idea behind this magnificent piece of work! Grin

Cheeseandcucumber · 20/12/2017 19:27

Xmas GrinXmas Grin of course it's blood! First comes the body parts, next the blood and on the 24th the police will arrive at my door and I'll be framed for murder courtesy of my cat/HOF.

Xmas Grin Kisty!! YES!!

It's about time Ken settled down, hopefully it'll help him drop his world domination bad boy image. He'll have to if he's to succeed in his campaign to become PM.
