    never heard of this before but gonna try this this yr think my yongest will like it though the others might be too old.

    might be a very helpful to have an elf who gives them chores to do for treats might actually get them to do something about the mess they make

    do you think a noddy gnome would make a good elf? seen a couple on ebay & think they look quite elfish as they have the pointy ears would just need to change its clothes to xmas colours
    this year do something that scares you for courage is not the absence of fear just the knowledge that some things are worth the risk

    just confirmed. Is everyone keeping the elf facebook pages just for elves? i was planning to but i keep getting requests from 'people' that i dont know, i dont mind ramdom elves adding me as a friends as i want our elves to have lots of friends to share all the things we all get up to and maybe pass a few ideas around, but there is one person who keeps adding me and asking why i am not accepting her. how can i say - because your not an elf!

    Has anyone who has ordered elves from the US had theirs arrive yet?

    I'm just wondering how long they take to come? I ordered my two from ebay on 30th October.

    I was given a tracking number on 1st November, but the latest info on there is:

    International Dispatch Ready, Nov-03-10, 20:07 PM, MIAMI ISC

    Am wondering if maybe tracking info isn't available once they arrive in the UK?


    I'm sure they'll be here in plenty of time before the 1st December but really want them to arrive so I can change my photos on FB!! :)

    littlenicsmummy - Ohhh, I can't wait for ours to turn up now, hope it comes today or tomorrow. Do you think you'll be jazzing her up a bit?

    Does anyone have a passport that can be modified they would be able to send me or give me an idea of how to do it please? I tried searching but cannot go past pae 1 and need to do it soon while I'm at work and its quiet (noone around at the mo lol!). We're getting the keys to our new house Monday so want to have all I can ready in advance.
    TIA x

    i am keeping it just elves - i have told "owners" i will add them to my account not elves - there is a lady victoria ? that keeps asking to be friends as she wants to be friends with elves, i have told her no.

    some of the elves on FB are off mahical holiday home not just here.
    due to spilling coffee :coffee: on my keyboard it works when it wants to :rotfl:

    na i think ill leave her the way she is, as i'm going to say shes one of mrs clause and wears different to santa's elves, so they cant tell them apart. i locked myself in the bathroom to get a proper look, shes got the name of the range shes from on her back. Just hope someone is at home to get her for you as she wouldnt go through the letterbox and the royal mail up here doesnt leave parcels with neighbours here. i ordered her the night before you so i'd think u'd get her today/tomorrow.
