  • Binky has been up to loads of mischief. He was found with a parachute on his back hanging from the light fitting, playing nintendo ds, eating chocolates.

    Last night he was caught playing indoor crazy golf :D

    Hope you are all having fun with your elves. Not long until they all have to go back to the North Pole. I know both my girls will miss Binky and they are already asking if he can come back next year.

    Not been on here for a while, but have tonight set up our elf final bit of mischief!!

    Have been so busy this week and said to my eldest DD about 11.30... "OMG, it's the elves last night" (yep, I finally clicked it was christmas eve tomorrow!! lol!)... but then realised we hadn't done the toilet paper around the house this year ...

    So despite the fact I have been blitzing the house all week to accommodate 8 extra people (and nobody has been allowed to do much today in case they mess something up!! ;)), I have tonight trailed two toilet rolls all through the house and around the christmas tree and I have two elves sat on the sofa with a guilty note asking if they can come back next year! :D

    I can't believe where December has gone!! it's gone sooooo quick!!! Thank you to everyone who has sent cards to Bauble Sprout and Crackerjingles!!

    Happy Christmas to you all!!! Hope you all have a great time! :xmassign:



    And also, Happy New Year!!

    I guess we will all catch up again around October/November 2012 with the imminent arrival of the elves again!!!!

    hi lexuslass, have a great christmas and a very happy new year. our brains are frazzled too, dd just reminded us that we haven't left out mince pie and carrot, or sprinkled reindeer food :eek:. fuzzy and chilly are next to the christmas tree, ready for santa to collect them. someone mentioned sending holiday postcards in july-august, sounds like a great idea?

    Hi everyone -= I've been so busy during December I haven't posted once.

    Last year my sister took our elf on holiday with her, and got photos of it lounging by the pool. drinking cocktails etc. She went with a friend, and for a pair of thirty somethings, they had rather too much fun with my elf. Let's just say he was the talk of Goa for a couple of weeks. I can't show my face there ever again. ;) The officials wouldn't stamp his passport but she brought back some local stamps and we stuck them in, along with a photo.

    I just wanted to say thanks for all the cards. DD was so excited everytime one came. Thanks too to Amy, for running this thread, while ill, and with the housefire and everything.

    It's going to be so lonely without any mischeif, but I'll soon get used to it. OH was only saying this morning, he just gets used to them being here, and they're off again. :(

    Anyway enough of my chattering. Merry Christmas everyone, and I wish you a very happy and healthy new year.

    Well done everyone - you kept the magic for another year. :D

    The free postcards on the freebie forum are great for messages from the Elves :santa2: over the summer.
