What fantastic elves! If my children were younger I'd commission you Ms Gigglewick!

No Xmas food catalogues to be seen in my local m&s today

Must have put them out early in Ellie's store.

Aww! I've just bought an elf on eB@y!

I've been looking for one for a while, as they were only from abroad, but today found one listed in uk. Never mind.

Your knitted ones look fab, though.

I have some fun ideas for elf mischief to surprise the kiddies with...

Picked up an M&S food catalogue, but I'm full of a streaming cold at the moment so nothing took my fancy whilst flicking through it Shall have a proper look when I feel better.

Hope my M&S has one tomorrow. Shall probably have to ask someone and get a pitying 'you're thinking about Christmas already?' look.

:hello: I did wonder where you had disappeared too! How is everything going with bump? I know you mentioned last time you posted that you were having some slight complications? I hope everythings well anyway

Thanks for asking
I shall find out hopefully in about an hours time - I have an appointment at 3.45.
I had to have a 3rd Gestational Diabetes test in 10 weeks and get the results today. But also they are concerned about my blood pressure - the stupid thing is now I know they are concerned I have done nothing but worry so when I have it re taken again today it is going to be sky high because im so worried!!!
Also I think my Iron levels have dropped again despite me taking supplements daily.
My SPD is horrific at the moment and coupled with all the anxiety my hormones are a bit haywire!
I think I am beginning to really face reality that it wont be long until we have a baby at home and after 5 years and 10 miscarriages and going through so much I don't think it had really all sunk in until now! But with the prospect of the diabetes and pre eclampsia im also worried about things going wrong.
So I have hibernated a little bit this past week.

Hopefully it will all have been a false alarm and I can celebrate being perfectly healthy later

BTW Whoever made/brought those knitted elves I WANT 1!!!!!!!!!!!! I shall read more when I get back later and find out if I can buy one but if someone made them then i think you should go into business! All the other elves freak me out a little bit but when i was little my great nanny used to knit dolls and teddys and those remind me of her and id definitely buy one!

Yes i have lol here



i've seriously thought about doing something more xmassy next year, i already knit for friends etc but xmas is where my heart is at lol, I've produced my own elf pack too (photoshops another hobby) so maybe i could put it all together.. If you'd like one of the elf bags feel free to pm me and we can arrange something

Got plans todo an girl elf next year too.. These two are one for my girls and one for my nephew and neices who im putting together an delux hamper for this year too lol far too elf mad atm!

Awww! Those are fab! I love our Elf , He looks quite similar to the ones you have knitted except he's a plush/bear type and has real bells on his hat and shoes and it quite big, But it took me ages to find one in shops, I never though of finding a knitter like yourself and paying to have on made but wish I had now!

I would love an elf bag! I'm going to do the school run in a minute but I will PM you as soon as I get chance if it's still ok to. DS would love it, even though he's a boy he's very much into his teddies etc and is always trying to make suitcases and beds etc out of paper and other random things :rotfl:So if the elf comes with a bag this year I have no doubt he will be chuffed to bits

Re xmas loo roll!
