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

Day 5's offering isn't too bad. Hopefully they've designed the calendar so that it starts badly and gradually improves?
At this rate, day 24 may well be a Chanel perfume and the funnel, dust and eye watering "mascara" will be a distant memory.

Ilostit I tip my hat to your optimism Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/12/2017 16:04

Tomorrow's door will be the test. If it reveals something crap, it will prove my theory to be optimistic shite. Xmas Hmm

I don't think we are ever going to reach the highs of The Funnell again😩

ArchchancellorsHat · 05/12/2017 19:20

Bluesky, if you've been good all year, maybe Santa will bring you a tiny funnel? Or maybe not.

If you say it 3 times it might come true Archchancellor Grin

ArchchancellorsHat · 05/12/2017 19:31

I clicked my heels together too ! Bloody browser

kwick · 06/12/2017 08:15

Did I read that right? Looks like there is a bidding war on ebay for one of these calendars 😂

Figuier · 06/12/2017 08:57

That is correct, up to 11 bids now! £36 for a pile of shit!

My bad, I was on mobile and didn't remember how to format links:

Bidding war!!

brand new, 4 sold 1 left, £129.99

Disclaimer, I'm not a seller. I just find it hilarious. In other news, EMPTY Liberty calendar - as in, pretty box for 40 quid!!!

eenymeenymaccaracca · 06/12/2017 09:19

I would be tempted to bid on that as a passive-aggressive present.

Twenty-four days of crap. It's the PA gift that keeps on giving.

Or alternatively I could buy the empty Liberty box and 'curate' my own out of Poundland multipacks and those free Collection 2000 lipsticks you used to get sellotaped to the front of magazines.

Cheeseandcucumber · 06/12/2017 10:19

(Thank you for the new intro, eeny) On the Sixth Day of Shitness my true love gave to me...

A fucking nail file.

I'm almost too worried to post a photo, I fear it may encourage burglars to track down my house in an attempt to steal the wonder that has appeared behind door 6. This must be how celebrities feel.

Our old favourite the funnel is making a return appearance for scale, not to rub your faces in my fortune, although I know it'll bring back the green eyed monster in most of you.

Nail varnish, glitter for nails, funnel for glitter, nail file - surely we've reached the end of the nail related shite?!

That's it! I'm gluing the doors and getting this shit on eBay Xmas Grin

Keeping the funnel though.

Cheese please can you take a photo of the tiny funnel against a tape measure? I need to understand the full extent of its tinyness.

eenymeenymaccaracca · 06/12/2017 10:28

AHAHAHA A FRIGGING NAIL FILE!!

Ambassadeur, you are spoiling us.

I got 6 of those free with my fungal nail treatment and they didn't have an advertising logo blazened on them either.

TSSDNCOP · 06/12/2017 12:16

That’s not a nail file. That’s a quarter of a nail file.

HuskyMcClusky · 06/12/2017 12:25

🤣🤣🤣

iwouldgoouttonight · 06/12/2017 12:26

Having looked at that (miniscule) nail file I've realised that House of Fraser is an anagram of Fur of Seahorse. That's probably what you'll be getting tomorrow. You could maybe use it on your eyebrows.

TrinityBelle · 06/12/2017 13:42

Cheese you really should consider a career in comedy. This has been my favourite thread in ages!

ArchchancellorsHat · 06/12/2017 15:52

They even put their name on it. Anywhere else would have been embarrassed, but not House of Fraser. They are proud of their festive offerings.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/12/2017 17:31

Good Lord a nail file for a small dolly. This is worse than funnel gate.

Deathraystare · 06/12/2017 17:33

Cheese is one lucky lady. She has been well spoilt!

I can hardly bear to tune in tomorrow as I am already green with envy! To think I decided not to buy the advent calender of shite! More fool me! Do you think next year's will have a funnel???

I bet Zoella will have a funnel in her's next year. We can but hope!

RJnomore1 · 06/12/2017 19:55

Totally taken the shine off my primer for me. Thanks cheese you stinking show off!
