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

Place marking to hope it improves !

Can't wait for day 3 Grin

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 02/12/2017 23:30

Oh place marking for entertainment value.
Our HOF had one open, not the greatest marketing strategy. Ruined the surprise of the little funnel for one thing.

Nannyplumssillyoldelf · 02/12/2017 23:30

I can't wait for day 3.

Nettletheelf · 03/12/2017 01:37

Wake up soon, OP. I am very much enjoying your thread.

Incidentally, HAHAHAHAHA at whoever suggested that bloody Zoella was curating the HofF calendar. Perhaps the empress of crap will do a YouTube video explaining the uses of your funnel.

chloechloe · 03/12/2017 06:19

Where are you cheese? You could have set your alarm clock to keep us from waiting!

I do wonder how the planning meeting went when they were deciding what day to put the funnel in. Do you think there was a big debate about whether it should come before or after the beads? Or maybe somebody was frivolous enough to suggest they put the beads AND the funnel in the same day but got shot down - after all you don't want people to be too spoilt in the run up to Christmas!

SpeckledyHen · 03/12/2017 06:24

WAKE UP !!!

gunsandbanjos · 03/12/2017 06:37

Hurry up woman, don’t keep us in suspense...

minnymoobear · 03/12/2017 06:46

Arsenicinthesugarbowl · 03/12/2017 06:50

Betsy86 · 03/12/2017 06:58

theaveragewife · 03/12/2017 07:10

GreyMorning · 03/12/2017 07:12

Edge of seat stuff waiting for day 3.

My guess is a used cottonwool bud.

Hahahahaha
I was tempted by a beauty advent calendar but I decided that unless I spend £100+ (not going to happen) it would probably be full of cheap n nasties. I'm enjoying having a cheap n nasty vicariously through you more than I would be having the actual calendar!

Haha Cheese... here’s hoping.
Door 3 is a similar size to door 2. Maybe we have another funnel so we can share the love with friends.

KitNCaboodle · 03/12/2017 08:03

I think number 23 is a bellow

Cheeseandcucumber · 03/12/2017 09:39

Day 3 may finally prove the answers to our funnel questions (maybe).

Day 3's offering is a pot of glitter. It is filled a third of the way and contains glitter particles the size of a hamster's eye. I'm not entirely sure they will fit through the funnel so I'm not ruling out other uses for the funnel appearing later on in the month.

After yesterday's confusion, I'm relieved today's gift comes with a descriptive label on the back. We all know how tricky it can be identifying glitter so HOF kindly saved us another half an hour sat around the table staring at the thing like we did yesterday.

It's another beauty from that well advertised, much coveted brand - Colour Couture. Getting myself a little collection going now and I can feel the jealousy seeping through the internet waves from you all Xmas Grin

Just spotted day 11 is likely another funnel. I would share but I'd feel safer having a backup funnel just in case harm comes to the original.

Xmas Grin loving the idea of using the funnel to decant into a hip flask, unicorn. Very impressed with your ingenuity too claire, maybe HOF should take you onboard in the advent calendar design department!

Kit Xmas Grin the oddness of the door shapes are a whole other gift entirely. Could sit for hours guessing at these things!

I apologise for my tardiness. For some reason DD thought being on time for her dance class was more important than opening another door. She doesn't appreciate the finer things in life.

Hmm.

I looked at this online, decided it didn't look very good and went and bought the look fantastic calendar.

How I am regretting my hasty decision now.

kwick · 03/12/2017 10:06

@Cheeseandcucumber I am shamelessly joining your thread. I am getting so much excitement from hearing your daily updates... the three advents I have (ASOS, LF and M&S) pale into insignificance when counterposed with the splendidness of yours Envy

Whatthefoxgoingon · 03/12/2017 10:12

You lucky duck cheese! What grown woman doesn’t need a pot of glitter for Christmas?

Envy
PinkSquash · 03/12/2017 10:20

Oooh maybe the glitter is to be poured into the funnel and then onto the mascara? Glittery lashes anyone?

Maudlinmaud · 03/12/2017 10:22

That's bad. I'm disappointed with HOF but also Xmas Grin
