morrisons have the xmas shaped bubble baths down to 48p for 3. so i grabbed 1, not sure if be from elves or in stockings!

hopefully my cousin in america has managed to get me 4 "elf mugs" they are the size of egg cups and the handles are the elf hats curled round, the actual mug is the elf head n face. really sweet! so that will be something else sorted if she has.


where i can get photo jigsaws cheaply??? i know you can buy the draw your own picture 1s.

I just got another bargain for my elf! I got a Mrs Claus dress up for my eldest DD's favourite teddy reduced for £9.99 to £2.99 at Argos.

Haven't seen them online in the sale yet as I got them instore but there is a rug and some sort of santa teddy on there in the homewares bit, possibly under gifts or christmas?

Glad to be of help! I ordered 2 in the end as I keep forgetting that I will need to involve my DD2 more next year as she will 'get it!'

I picked mine up the other day and am very pleased especially for the price!

Happy New Year to all elves and owners! Sounds like everyone had great fun with their elves. Our elves couldn't get up to as much as I'd planned towards the end as I became quite ill. Spent most of boxing day and the day after in hospital!

My aim for this year is to be even more prepared, have treasure hunt clues pre-written, snowflakes already cut etc. As come the evenings I just didn't have the energy this year, it didn't help that in the week leading up to Christmas the kids were still awake when I was going to bed!!

The kids loved the elves. They were ok when they went home Christmas eve, what with the excitement of Christmas Day looming, but now they keep saying how much they miss them! So the elves are going to keep in touch by email/cards etc.

Happy to see people still posting and preparing for next Christmas!:)
