We’re no longer on the cusp, we are now finally, actually in the most wonderful month of the year and it goes without saying that this morning we have all donned in our gayest festive apparel, with Nigel resplendent in his brand new Poundstretcher snowman jumper, a small present from Darrell, found on one of his mooching expeditions.
And, we were finally able to open the envelope we received in the post yesterday morning ….. mysteriously instructing us to open it on 1st December. It was only a wait of 24 hours but Nigel nearly burst.
It was a Christmas card (our very first one of the season) from our beloved No. 1 Fan, Jan the Fan AND a lottery scratch (but not sniff) Advent Calendar.
How brilliant is that? According to the bumf on the back, read in forensic detail by Darrell, we have a 1 in 3.47 chance of winning a prize, be it £1 million or £5. We could be rich, by Christmas Day, but vouchsafed there and then that if we did have a BIG win (anything over £5 is mahoooooosive to us), we would naturally share it, with Jan the Fan, naturally No. 1 on our list!
As you can imagine the excitement and anticipation that is currently thronging The Towers is electric.
Today, our first day of rubbage, we let Nigel be the one to have the inaugural rub, so, with his penny poised, he revealed mistletoe, a snowflake and £5,000, so no prize ……….. but there are still another 23 days to go …….
What a brilliant present, saving on the calories and bringing a hopeful frisson of a windfall of a financial type nature over breakfast each morning until the BIG day! THANK YOU so much Jan The Fan, our No.1 Fan we LOVE it!

Excellent present, JtF!
You do realise that poor Nigel will be beside himself with excitement. I doubt very much that, in "normal" years, he hardly sleeps a wink the night before Christmas. Well, with this gift, he will be like that every night, up to the big day.
Imagine what a massively sleep-deprived Nigel will be like, in about three-and-a-half weeks time!
Happy dayz Mr D, happy dayz indeed he will be in a haze probably! Janthefan x
