Thursday 14th November - Advent calendars

I'm a great fan of Advent calendars.

I usually have the on-line Jacquie Lawson one,

and a wooden one with tiny little wooden drawers - I can't find a picture of mine, so here's one like His's;



and a fabric pocket wall hanging that I made many years ago, (this isn't mine, I made it for a friend last year. One again I can't find a picture of mine).


and maybe even a chocolate calendar as well (but if it isn't posh chocolate I'd rather not. Sorry to seem picky, but that's how it is).



Scrolling through facebook, I discovered this advertisement;

from www.mymuesli.com - where you can buy porridge and muesli and ACCESSORIES for porrige and muesli!

Well, I'm never going to pay £40 for an Advent calendar, but it does give me an idea. Now that it is colder I like a bowl of porridge in the mornings...

I'm all warm and centrally heated inside after a bowl of muesli with hot milk for breakfast, and moderately awake having had the first cup of coffee (I really need two cups to move out of first gear).

I shall now get busy constructing a porridge Advent calendar, when I have worked out how.
