Get better soon @RainbowZebraWarrior . Sorry you are going through this

That sounds awful @RainbowZebraWarrior hope you are feeling a bit better now and get to enjoy your advents.

Ow! Sorry to hear that @RainbowZebraWarrior I hope you're on the mend now and your calendars bring you much joy when you get to them.

You poor thing @RainbowZebraWarrior Hope you're recovering well,

Ouch! Get better soon.

Oh no, hope you’re ok and feel better soon @RainbowZebraWarrior

@RainbowZebraWarriorsending wishes for a swift recovery and am sure you will love Jadvent

Ouch @RainbowZebraWarrior Hope you get well soon

Best wishes for a speedy recovery @RainbowZebraWarrior xxx

Oh no @RainbowZebraWarrior 😔 that sounds painful. Hope you have a swift recovery and can enjoy your advent calendars when you come to open them 💐🩷

Not sure which colour this is but I bought an overly bold lipstick one year and found it far more wearable as a lip liner with gloss. Hopefully someone else can use that tip for their marmite lipsticks!

@RainbowZebraWarrior How awful for you - wishing you a speedy recovery 💐
You need to start opening them to cheer yourself up 💖

I've been really behind with mine, simply due to having a lot going on and feeling overwhelmed so not at all in the festive spirit. I caught up this evening, but didn’t get the same joy from it. Perhaps I should have pushed them back to Jadvent

On another note, my additional SNK fragrance calendar arrived a couple of days ago. I’ve just checked it and one of the fragrances is missing. I did think when I opened the mailing box that the inner paper appeared to have been opened - I wonder if it was a return (can FAC’s even be returned)?
Anyway, I’ve contacted SNK, hopefully will get a swift resolution 🤞

That's annoying. Hopefully they will resolve it satisfactorily. I got a load of extra perfumes from HN last year when two of mine were half empty.

I'll make sure to check mine when it arrives on Monday.

@OchonAgusOchonOh Thats brilliant CS from Harvey Nicks!
I hope all of your items are in your SNK FAC when it arrives 🤞(assuming DHL guys haven’t stashed a couple in their Hazmat suits 🤣)

That is true. Plenty of room for stashing. I will frisk them if it feels a bit light.

I think you might be right. I can't quite get to Glossybox very well as it's got a (smallish) Christmas tree on top of it, but I will open the other two starting this morning! GB will then make a great Jadvent once the tree is down!

Thank you all for your lovely well wishes. I've really loved this thread this year!

@RainbowZebraWarrior enjoy catching up with opening. Hope you are on the mend.

@RainbowZebraWarrior hope your knees are on the mend. A triple jadvent sounds lush!

Ouch @RainbowZebraWarrior wishing you a speedy recovery. You poor thing. Hopefully the advents will provide a nice lift to the spirit X

Well, it is Christmas 😉😅

You haven't seen my DHL delivery driver 😂

Speaking of DHL 😹

Our DHL delivery driver came through our open porch door and pushed open the front door and was in my hallway yesterday morning - which was a bit weird! DH had left both doors open whilst putting DDog in the car and hadn’t noticed the guy walking past him.

I came face to face with him; he completely blanked me and left. It was all a bit odd.

That's very odd @IlovePond . Even weirder is your neither your dh or ddog noticing him going past them. You may want to reconsider your home security measures. I hear geese are very effective.

@OchonAgusOchonOh 😹😹😹 DH is oblivious to just about everything going on around him, (apart from DDog on whom he dotes!)

DDog meanwhile, is a husky - officially the most useless guard dogs ever in the whole world ever - if huskies could talk, etc. they'd invite any potential burglars in, make them a cup of tea and point out the best things to take!
