Ooh yes. don't have it yet but I always get a Divine one. Just a shame they're not doing a dark choc version again this year.

I am undecided. I usually really like the Lindt one but I have to get one for my husband as well but they are £5 each....

they are indeed an extravagance, but it is a good way to ensure you get some chocolate every day :)

i'm sure i've mentioned this before, but it's worth a second blast... my mum lived in Spain a few years ago and sent me a spanish advent calendar. i've never tasted anything so ghastly in all my life! the chocolates tasted like they were full of tobasco and burnt my mouth!

i'm hoping for a lindt one this year as well.

the ones with the pretty pictures usually taste like candle wax.

You're not supposed to eat the pictures!

Yes, but if it was a Hersey advent calendar, you WOULD be better off eating the pictures - for starters, they'd taste better!
