Advent Calendars 2019

[SisterBliss]

Haha! When my brother first got married, that was the first time I witnessed people (his in-laws..), actually reading the Daily Fail as a “news”-paper (that or the Express - argh!)
As good Guardian-reading lefties, many a time had to bite our tongues! Once I got to know them better, could tease them more freely.

I eventually gave up on regular Guardian reading as it too can live up to its own cliches a lot of the time, so now like to vary between it, the Indy and The Times for some variety...!

(Hope you had fun winding up the Hubby!)

Oh, so many tales......so much fun!

If anyone’s interested in the Birchbox advent calendar, it has been reduced from £70 to £56. Offer ends tomorrow night.

According to the Sun, if you use code FROZEN, you can get it for £44. (I haven’t tried as I have overdone the advent calendars this year, just got the cheap Tili boxes and, well, I really do NOT need it.)

Hope those who bought themselves a calendar are enjoying it.
First year for me with one other than pictures or a chocolate one.
Purchased the M&S one, stand out for me so far is the Alpha H Rose Balancing Cleanser now used up and can’t seem to get a full sized one anywhere.
