I remember them too 😹PennysIntoPounds said:Aw glad you've got a wee chocolate advent calendar to look forward to. I was thinking the other day about when I was a kid at Christmas and getting a selection of chocolate bars, packaged in the shape of a stocking, was the most exciting thing ever. Probably still would be 😁I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

I'm fond of an old school sparkly advent calendar with little pictures 🥰 I'm also fond of a chocolate one 🤭 and we have a lovely one that's kind of a fold out book which we bring out every year, so it's quite possible we'll end up with three 😂1
