Aaaand... let's start as we mean to go on...

OK, you can all have your surprise now. It's the Tavern's Advent pressie & it took me frigging ages.

ONE A DAY WENCHES Do NOT stuff your faces with it all at once cos then you'll feel sick OTH.

That is awesome santi

Oh sparkle. You star. I don't know how good it is, because I actually like the self control of advent calendars.
I bought dh a Lindt one, and the boys both a fairy milk one.

I didn't get one for myself. But my lovely work colleague got me one, so I do it at work. Dh offered but I said thanks but no thanks, coz I have the work one.

But I am SO going to enjoy yours!!!!
Well done you!

That makes 5 (!) Advent calendars in my house.

2 bought by MIL for the boys
1 refillable one bought by me 2 years ago
1 dropped off by my neighbours, 10 minutes ago.
And the delightful musketeer one.

Anybody need an advent calendar???

Sparkle. I am going to have to eat them all at once though

Actually, now I'm not sure you can do them all at once. I could on the preview, but it will only let me click on '1' now. I hope it works beyond tomorrow

Sparkle you clever wench. Mwah!!

Woooh. One set of window lights up. Christmas countdown up. 2 glasses of prosecco consumed.

Sparks!!!!! That is fab!!!!!

DH seems to think we're putting the tree and decorations up next weekend. I'd be happy with the weekend before Christmas.

Oh, how lovely, thank you Sparks.

Will be re-watching but doing other stuff so not posting.

Will be looking for Athos' trainers.

Right wenches. DS3 in bed, DS1/2 in bed reading the new Paddington book we got given at the Museum - sometimes I forget they are only 6 and 8 and that they can enjoy reading these. They asked for the entire set from the book people as their joint big present. Love them. It has overall been a lovely lovely day.

Off to have a bath then back at 9 for rewatch. DH out so will be watching on a glorious 40 inch screen.

Evening all.

Sparks that's ace, fabulous!

Christmas decs aren't going up here until the 11th/12th (in that, not sure which day, not that they take two days to put up)

I have bought and wrapped my secret santi but have not yet posted. I might save mine until Christmas as

Mavis

Why lyndie?

No rewatching for me. So tired. Sitting on the couch reading a book but will be off to bed soon

Sparks that's so lovely. Opening in the morning.

Sorry Mavis!! That was supposed to be a face. About not having many presents to unwrap. You and others have mentioned things about being a single parent (like having a cup of tea made for you) that I think I take for granted

Oh sparks - you utter star I'm looking forward to starting that tomorrow...

Gosh the emoticons look completely different on the App to the website! Must be more careful.

I don't get many gifts either So that's why intend to buy as many as possible at my upcoming trip abroad

Enjoy the rewatch wenches. I've got ironing to finish and then getting stuff ready for tomorrow, and then I think I'll have an early night (nlt) as I suddenly feel very tired.

That's a bugger about the emoticons being different on app and website.

So is it me and Helen and Apes doing a busy rewatch?

Oh Carolina????

Is Cin going to roll in like last week?

I'm here...

Ready to go....
