Meow, Mildred 😳

A sold-out cardboard palace 😂😂

I too like large decorative boxes of dopamine, Mildred. 😳

This is absolutely brilliant! Actually laughed out loud. Mildred you are a hoot. 😂

Sorry, I am in NI :) but wonder how much the delivery to mainland UK would be 🤔
I could call their CS and cancel one but scared to jinx it in case something somehow happens to the other one 🙈

@DidILeaveTheGasOn what is your budget for an extra calendar and do you want more makeup, skincare etc? Love Mildred's reply, she seems to be doing ok at enabling. Not quite the telling off from a few weeks ago 🤣

Thanks! I am away tonight but will look for you tomorrow x

Not BAC or FAC but talk about a box of dopamine - such cutie pies 😀

🤣🤣🤣does Mildred have friends? Can I have one? This is brilliant enabling!!

I love the mince pie calendar 😍.

Mildred sounds Dutch

Love this - will get for DS. Thanks for the info !

i think BT would be light- It shouldn’t be a huge weight. It’s not the traditional calendar, weighed down by heavy candles and 500ml bottles of shower gel and Sol de Janeiro products. None of that stuff in it
yes products are full size, but small.i think the largest volume is 150ml

the biggest issue is the ‘hazardous liquids’ and the 4 bottle of perfume rule in the post. . Genuinely never had an issue before, and certainly eBay sellers don’t think of this rule when they’re despatching 😂
I’ve just been winging it , and packages have arrived from England with multiple bottles with no issue.

There’s always a risk that it could , and its whether it’s worth the gamble when contents are so high end 🙈

Do we need nail polish calendars? The Manucurist have released 2, normal and gel. Please tell me I do not need one and just buy a couple of polishes at Christmas!

A few years ago there was a really good value Ciate nail polish advent calendar which lots of Mumsnetters bought as an extra so I think the answer here is yes you probably need one… I only wear nail polish about twice a year so my Ciate collection is still going strong (although I gifted 3/4 the following year which were unopened into Xmas gift boxes for the local food bank as 24 bottles was too many for me!)

ohh ! i’m getting this ! thanks @SheilaFentiman

Well done 😂

I think DPD would deliver it no problem, most of my calendars were delivered by them.

lol. Me too! DPD are frequent visitors to my house! Haha. Absolutely. Sending dpd is the best bet rather than send via post office and Royal Mail . 👍

Argh!

Just call me the Mince Pie Enabler!

Hello! Are there any discount codes for the Cult Beauty AC please? Or is it worth waiting for the price to drop? I think I remember that it’s sold out previously so wondering whether to wait or not.. thank you!

No codes at the moment as far as I know. I don't think they directly discounted it last year but it's a possibility. I'm fairly sure they will do another round of incentives like double points or a gift card with purchase.

I really do not understand what is the difference between stuff coming from mainland to NI and the other way round 🤦🏻‍♀️ I even got Harrods delivered 🤷🏻‍♀️ hate brexit for that reason alone, we never had such issues prior

It would drive you demented. It’s no problem for thousands of bottles of Bushmills whiskey to pop up on supermarket shelves in Salford, but we can’t get a few tiny bottles of perfume across the Irish Sea? It’s not right x
