they list is a pre order but its available on amazon & sains listed as released last yr

Hi we got this film last year which our Elf brought with her, the Elf I got from the Bear Workshop is the same as the one in the film, so it fitted in nicely to explain the Elf on the Shelf tradition to my kiddies. It is a nice film and if you have an Elf coming to stay in December really ties in with that. x

Noodles: Just did a search for the !clairs, couldn’t seem to find anywhere that sold them still. But I know what you mean about them being in a roll.
Picnmix: That’s ok then, no 3 year olds around for me :rotfl:

Some nice stuff in there.

I've got all my present stash out yday and spent a few hours sorting who's getting what. Most of the kids are done :T and most of the adults are getting homemade goodies. I also have a few birthdays before Xmas and all those are done from the stash

Big hugs to all who need it and hope things will be getting better for you all.

Yesterday I made some Christmas tree sweet trees and I'm pleased with the results. Done one for each of the men. I'll do the ladies normal sweet trees and then they'll have one of each to share. I have blogged them

They are gorgeous

Well I no longer need to look for gingerbread cutters. My wonderful BF must’ve read my mind that I wanted some as he went and got some yesterday for me, without me knowing. A set of 3 different sized metal ones for £1.50 from Wilko.

Aah thats lovely, how thoughtful

Noodles I remember the rolls too! wonder if they are in bags now due to the shape of them being more oval so harder to put in a roll perhaps, or was it always the case they did rolls and bags?

Sorry I really can't remember who asked about blocking people from ringing their mobile, but the new ios7 upgrade on the iPhone now let's you block numbers.

Can't believe everyone on this thread has done so much already, I thought I was being organised just buying christmas cards! We're hosting christmas at our house this year for the first time ever :eek: so I'll be looking out for the best deals food-wise!
