    My wife got one from Lidl for something silly like 59p. Apparently the chocolate is good. I had one last year but I kept forgetting to open it for days at a time....so this year I figured that I'm just too much of an old misery guts.

    I was about 13 before I got my first chocolate advent calendar.....up until that point we were happy just to open the door and get a picture. Youth of today etc.....
