…no, it’s generally my son’s partner who gives us one each year…(…well, one each…)…but they’re all baby’d up with their little son’s first Christmas…she sent a pic yesterday of one that she’d bought for him…with all of the pockets to add the advent gifts each year…but I think we’ve been cast aside and we’re going to have to find our own way in the world now…but I’m not sure that I’ll buy any because I always forget to open the doors anyway…and then when they’re coming over, I’ve opened all of the doors that morning to catch up…

…the M & S ones are very good, I’ve had those a few times and strangely, always remembered to open those doors……but then you have to have a minimum spend to be able to get it at that whatever cost and I’m not really an M&S person in general so I’d probably struggle with the minimum spend and then it’s still a lot to spend on a calendar as well…I did love to open them though because…(…rather than just know there would be a chocolate there…)…they were actually surprises…

Really good. It’s quite spenny, so we only buy it when it’s on offer.
