Coo-eee, MNHQ, I've got something for you!!

[PacificDogwod]

That should help the Spirit of Christmas along nicely

Also available in whiskey

oooh I want one
Can we have a Mumnet christmas draw for one?

although...no...that won't work...as all the compartments with be empty when MNHQ send it out.

Yes, of they'll gorge themselves no ALL the wee doors in one day and then have nothing left for the rest of the time like the DCs do with their chocolate calendars

The price is steep, but hey ho, MNHQ have all that advertising revenue to play with, don't they?

Oh that's brilliant. I don't have a couple of hundred quid spare though.

No, nor do I, Owl, and I have several relatives and friends who would like that kind of thing.
I am now wondering whether to buy hundreds some tiny jam jars and decant gin in them, add number stickers and hey presto!! Fantabulous pre-Christmas gift for me

Stop giving me ideas!

Actually I know someone who has bought 24 bottles of booze, all different and put a numbered post-it on each one

That is genius!
Dangerous, but inspired

I thought that too. I can't do that. I've lost my ability to drink alcohol. Stupid me. Since when was it a good idea to get pregnant? I've not been able to handle my booze since DS2 was born 14 weeks ago.

Congratulations!

Well, I hate to tell you, my DS4 is now 5 years old and still cannot hold my booze . So, I don't even try - makes for a cheap night out, mind.

Oh don't tell me that! I'm only 24, I thought I'd have a few good years of drinking in me yet

Get to my age, PD & you'll find that the capability returns.

A lovely idea - but for that money I could have at least 3 times the gin - in bottles, not pissy wee measures! It might just last me advent as well!

Why are you shocked, Becca??

We need one of those advent calenders. Do you think they're acceptable every month of the year?

Every single day of the year - would be rude not to have one.

Becca, surely every MNHQStaffer needs one? You'll get a discount for en gros orders, I'm sure
