hi,

i need some help...... i had written elf names in cheerios on worktop, by the time i had put the lid on tub etc the cat (real) had decided he was going to eat them!!!

i have tried to make giant snwman on floor from kitchen towel and the cat messed it up!

i cant put him out at night as it freezing and snowy, nor do i have doors downstairs to keep him out of anywhere. any ideas???

This made me laugh as my boy cat would do the same thing! Only thing I do is get up early in the morning before the kids usually get up and do it and hope for the best the kitty stays out of the way.;) I would suggest giving him some food while you are doing it so he will be full himself and happily ignore your elf doings.;)

I absolutely looooooove that idea! Our elf came about 3 days ago and so far I think the boys have liked it, but I'm on here for further inspiration and we have cheerios and they sometimes have them for breakfast! Perfect! Thanks!

me and OH are going to get the kids from school/to the shop - this means elves will be "home alone" and are going to make green pancakes as they got hungry - BUT made too much mix so we can have it for tea. :T:D me love pancakes!!!

their half eaten 1 with syrup n sprinkles is on the work top and they have forks in hand! :rotfl:

JJ Jingles went to school this afternoon to take candy canes for my husband's Year 1 class he met last week which were especially made for them from the North Pole as he was there last night.;) Also Father Christmas is visiting the school and he will be getting his photo made with him too. Tonight JJ will be wrapping up the kids school uniforms.:D

Well tonight Merry has made a christmas card for DS, complete with mini handprints all over it (use thumb as a stamp- must wash hands before bed lol). He has also been on the 'ElfYourself' website, how funny! He will be leaving a message about the video for me to check my emails (have purchased download £3.50 as couldnt resist but waiting for paypal to clear!). Just wish I could print the elves off the ElfYourself site!

if you have it on full screen, and click print screen button on keyboard, it *should* take a snap shot of screen image which you can then print.

last night bertie n merry made their names from lego and a lego xmas tree.
