Monumental Advent Calendar FAIL! (with advent haul!)
Creepstopher starts the vlog. It’s so cute at this time of year. The weather was on their side this morning as it was dark, gloomy and raining. It’s half 12 and the sun is out. He wanted it to stay gloomy as the house is cosy. Granny Groomer and Hi Steve are on the way over. Time lapse of Creepstopher folding laundry with his trousers halfway down his arse.
Lazy films Creepstopher cleaning the arm of the sofa with wet ones. He has her leggings on but doesn’t care as she’s comfortable. Lazy cannot cope with how the house feels. There is a cosy Christmas scene on the tv that looks mega in real life. The fire has different settings on it to fit the mood. Lazy wants some Leigh Lambert art in Winter Christmas edition in chunky black frames with a black rug.
Jace has been left to babysit Mila in his room. When she goes in and asks what they’re doing he says he doesn’t know. Lazy helps Mila onto Jace’s bed so they can watch Morphle together. Mila starts bouncing on the bed and the foot of the bed seems unstable. Lazy takes her out of the room to leave Jace in peace. She sends her into the living room.
Isabelle has risen. It’s time for Esme to do her bit and be forced to dance in the living room with Jace and Mila so Creepstopher can add Christmas music over the clip. Mila falls asleep in her Mamaroo.
Creepstopher is wearing his filthy coat and beanie. It has just got dark, the Christmas lights are on, Granny Groomer and Hi Steve have left, Prinny has gone into a week long depressive mode because Coco left. Prinny adores Coco. He tells her she’ll see her soon. The girls are at dance, Mila is asleep, Isabelle is filming a video and Jace is napping too. Lazy is pulling every single Christmas present they’ve bought for the kids so they can move them to a different location and see what they have. Creepstopher says one present is a monster and he wants to give it to Jace now. It’s very cold and will definitely frost over tonight. Lazy doesn’t remember buying a Hot Wheels monster truck with terrain stump technology. When things arrive they either go in a wardrobe in the wardrobe room or the garage, and Lazy doesn’t get a chance to open them half the time.
Are you sure because you seem to spend half your life bragging about shit you’ve been sent. Lazy has ordered a similar Batman monster truck. She is getting everything she needs for the 1st December. She’s doing the book advent so she needs to wrap the books.
Creepstopher fees bad for Prinny as she still has an ear infection. The ear drops are a sludgy brown colour but you can’t touch the ear as it hurts her. The groomer’s husband was rushed to hospital so she couldn’t groom Prinny; the rescheduled appointment is Monday and the ear should be better by then. They can’t give her a bath until the drops finish in three days. He makes a cup of tea to go in his massive mug.
Screeching from Jace. Dinner is finished. His eagle eyes caught sight of something Lazy ordered for Mila - a Janod ball track. She won it on Vinted and thought about saving it for Christmas. She has bought one similar for Christmas so thought she would give it to them now. Lazy tells him to let Mila have a go but then the camera cuts and Lazy says he can go first. Esme is excited for Christmas. They’re feeling the feels of Christmas. Jace starts screeching. Camera cuts. Lazy asks Mila if she has Jace’s drink. Jace turns the game upside down bit it doesn’t work that way. Lazy tells him the game is for little girls. He wants to have a race but only one of the rollers can go in at a time.
Whilst Jace and Mila are occupied downstairs, Creepstopher is cleaning, Isabelle is in her room and Esme and Isla are playing, Lazy thought she would come up to her room. She’s feeling festive and going through 1st December things. The bed is covered in books and chocolates. She’s trying to get everything organised. She’s excited.
First up is the book advent. They haven’t done it for a couple of years, Jace is at the age where he understands and Mila loves books. There are 24 festive books, one to open each evening. Next year she won’t have to buy all new books. She shows us inside some of the books and asks if anyone loves pop out 3D books. She doesn’t see pop out books anymore. There are a few books where you press a button and hear a sound and finger puppet books. She got a couple for Isla, longer books but perfect for a child who is stuck at the age of 7 thanks to her shit parents.
Quite a few ifam have asked Lazy todo a Sarah Screches on advent calendars. As they’ve had family over today she has time to show us what she’s got. “Mamaaaaaaaaaaa”. Lazy tells Jace to not come into her bedroom. She has been looking for traditional advent calendars but it didn’t work. She shows us the picture one she got on Amazon. She wanted a chocolate one but the doors with pictures were most important.
Lazy feels she’s contradicted herself. She wasn’t going to buy the girls a gift advent calendar, but she did because the ifam sent her links to a certain one she ended up buying on Wowcher. They were £13 each but when she went to pay it ended up being £33. She didn’t realise she was purchasing a voucher to buy them from a different store.
For someone who is a shopaholic, she is very thick. She had to pay £4 shipping for each one. It would let her do it separately. Lazy was mad and done with advents. Only one has arrived. She’s disappointed with how they look. It’s a Stranger Things theme but smaller than she imagined it would be.
Lazy got a Little Dutch calendar for Mila, which will probably be dominated by Jace. Lazy won’t throw the box away as it’s so nice. Babe brings her a tea. Loads of ifam recommended the Thomas advent calendar for Jace and he’ll definitely enjoy it.
This might cause controversy because Lazy Hasn’t bought Isabelle a gift advent calendar. There isn’t one she wants as she isn’t into beauty or bath products. Last year Lazy was grasping, bought a flavoured coffee one but Isabelle didn’t drink them all. There are none that Lazy has found that are £10-£20 that she would like. Isabelle told her she doesn’t want one. She has got a cat pop and slot calendar for her to display in her room. Esme has one to make a dolls house.
Lazy didn’t know what to do for Isla as one day she wants to be younger but the next she wants to be older. The Smiggle calendar and others aren’t worth the money as half the stuff would end up in her drawer. Lazy eventually got her a crafting advent calendar from The Works. She hasn’t opened is but is sure it plain wood you paint to make a scene.
The only thing Lazy was going to do this year was wooden advent calendars. She found someone online who makes them but she decided against it. She got Isabelle and Esme the same, Isla and Mila the same and Jace a different one. Loads of people think it’s ridiculous because of the amount she’s spent. The only thing she thinks is extravagant is the gift one. The craft one isn’t really an advent calendar.
Lazy shows us the wooden calendar she got for Isabelle and Esme. She thought they were doors but they’re drawers. The scene in the middle lights up. Most people put heroes in but Lazy wanted to do a different treat each day so bought sweets. Some of the chocolates don’t fit in the drawers. She breaks a drawer shoving a Lindt teddy in it. Isabelle doesn’t eat chocolate or sweets so Lazy has a funny idea she knows she’ll like for hers. We’ll have to wait until December 1st to see.
Lazy started laughing because she wanted to get the chocolate bears in and managed to work out how to get them in. All she has to do is cut the heads off she is cackling in a way that is not normal. She’s going to do that because the girls will think it’s hilarious. Isla lucks out because the teddies fit in her calendar without decapitation. The inserts for Isabelle’s calendar haven’t arrived yet.
There are two other count downs to Christmas that Lazy is doing. She screeches at whoever is knocking on the door not to come in. Jace is such a such a good boy because he opened the door a bit, said “I really wanna see”, Lazy said he couldn’t and told him to go back out so he closed the door and kept knocking. There is a felt tree for Mila. Another reminder for good boy not to come into the bedroom. Lazy got an Aldi countdown activity book for a Isla that she now can’t find. She got Jace critter crayons from a small business on Instagram. She bought Christmas cards from them. After vowing not to open it she opens it. It’s a 24 day colouring advent cards. It will be lovely for him to open something he can’t eat.
Lazy said this wouldn’t be a vlog in itself but it has turned into that. She knows some parents will feel bad because they haven’t got the same. She’s sorry if she’s made anyone feel bad but people requested to see them. She’s sorry for any negative feeling. She told the first they wouldn’t be getting advent calendars and they were ok with that.
Yet they have somehow ended up with three each. They ended up with all this by accident. All Lazy got growing up was a £1 advent calendar and if she did that for her chuldren that would be ok too. Part of vlogmas is opening advent calendars so it will be shown.
No that’s what you CHOOSE to show. This year of all years is a reason not to go overboard. We have been warned that people will die this winter because they cannot afford to eat. Bitch, you're tone deaf.
