    I have a chocolate calendar from Lidl, and today's chocolate was a train. The kitten has a calendar from my mum (:)) and she had a picture of a snowman. Our advent tree has a small toy to hang on each day and today was a soldier.

    That's the one I have (because it was cheaper than the other ones, lol but the choc in it is scrummy - it even smells gorgeous!). :rotfl:
    I'm going to M&S this week to buy some of the sweets, they sell them in 90g bags.:D

    2nd December - the girls both had a hair clip that I picked up on Friday at a craft fair. Eldest had a Brownie one and the youngest had a Rainbow one. In their advent it had a note saying "if Mum and Dad want to read we have a shelf full of these" they then ran off to our bookcase to find their item.
