Day 6, 7 and 8 of the advent vest

Where am I? Why does my head hurt? What's this empty bucket of fizzy sherry doing next to me. EEEEurgh!
Right get on with the job. Number 6. Got it straight away.
*Rrrrrrrrrrrrip scratchandsniff*
Mmmmmm. The smell of papercuts on tongues from licking so many envelopes for Christmas cards.

Number 7. Come out come out wherever you are. Aha got you, just below my left armpit. There could be a slight cross contamination of scratandsniff experiences here.
*Rrrrrrrrrrrrip scratchandsniff*
The smell of very long sleeves on a hand knitted sweater. One of my favourites.

Number 8. Number 8... number 8... Oh yes. Next to the curry stain.
*Rrrrrrrrrrrrip scratchandsniff*
Oho, the smell of two bank holidays just before a weekend.

Day 5 of the Advent Vest

I seem to be getting the hang of this now. Number 5... number 5... here you are. Or is that the letter S? No there aren't any letters on an Advent calendar it must be 5.
*Rrrrrrrrip scratchandsniff*
Ahhh. The smell of two people fighting over the last tin of chocolates in the supermarket. With a hint of panic.

Day 4 of the Advent Calendar

4? I'm sure I saw it around here. 7, 21, Pi, 42 nope none of those. 4 - here you are.
*Rrrrrrrrrrrrip scratchandsniff"
Chestnuts roasting by an open fire - delightful. There's even a slight odour of Bing Crosby. Ah no, my olfactory senses are misled. It's Bill Cosby.

Day 3 of the Advent vest calendar

Number 3. Number 3? Number 3! Here it is on one of the seams just above my shoulder
*Rrrrrrrrrrrrrip scratchandsniff*
Ahhh, smell of the inside of a postman's mailbag stuffed with Christmas cards. How seasonal.

The Advent Calendar Season

In the Spirit of counting down to Christmas I have made my very own Advent Calendar. (thanks for the idea EV) It's my vest! I've found some hardly used sticking plasters and I've covered up 24 festive stains which will be seductively uncovered as we approach the day itself.
*looks at real calendar*
Drat, I'm a bit behind schedule so I'll have to open two today. But then it'll be one at a time from now on.
You can try and guess what the festive stains might be and if you get them right I'll make an example of you.
ONly one guess per post please - no cheating.
Right then. Where's the plaster with the number one on it?
Ah, right between my shoulderblades.
*noise of straining ligaments and head motion reminiscent of the exorcist*
Rrrrrrrip!
Right then let's scratch it and see *scratch&sniff noises*
Aaah. It smells of Santas socks!

Now then number 2. It's er... here! Just below my knee.
Rrrrrrrip!
Right then let's scratch it and see *scratch&sniff noises*
Aaah. It smells of sixpences being put in the Christmas pud.
