Did we have these last year? Can we have them again this please? I know some people might think it is too early but I have bought all of 9 presents and am getting quite in the mood. Crack open the Baileys!

Far too early! smile

gracesmum Tue 13-Nov-12 10:22:07

For the Baileys?grin

Ana Tue 13-Nov-12 10:22:53

Oh no - just the emoticons! grin

gracesmum Tue 13-Nov-12 10:28:03

That's all right then! smile wine

I think perhaps we should treat it like the advent calendar, 1st December at the earliest? (The emoticons, obviously, not the Baileys)

Brilliant idea - could we not have a GN Advent Calendar with pictures of Benedict Cumberbatch kittens and our other delectable over50s other cuddly animals behind each window?

Is Benedict over 50? There is hope for us all......

Bearing in mind the time it takes to do tech stuff, I think the advent calendar might be like asking for the moon on a stick!

When I was working the tech department used to send a link each year to an online advent calendar, some days it would be a song (Fairytale of NY) etc, other days it would be a game.

A bit nearer to Dec 1st I will contact them and ask for it to be sent to me. Then if, I can put a link here we could all join in!

They will be here promise <looks slightly nervous>

Anne58 Tue 13-Nov-12 21:37:04

Calm down Cari , I don't think they need to appear just yet! After all, we do have a bit of time to go until the festering festive season.

jeni Tue 13-Nov-12 21:38:34

jeni Tue 13-Nov-12 21:40:15

It's not my birthday yet!
I NEVER think about the C word til after that!

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 13-Nov-12 21:43:20

Exactly!! We will get them out of the loft AFTER Jeni's birthday grin
