Other
Its that time of year again which parents / carers dread when the Elf on a shelf arrives. Its fantastic fun for the kids but adults often find themselves dragging themselves back out bed after forgetting to move the elf.
Country living have come up with this handy cheat sheet, which I thought had some easy / cheap ideas.
I thought members could add their own ideas to the discussion too as I'm sure many folks are stuck for inspiration are Christmas gets nearer.

My favourite when you've had enough and want a bit of break is
The Elf breaks it's leg and has to stay in one place
I don't do the elf on the shelf and I won't be starting either. I've got enough to do without having to place an elf around my house.
MrsCraig yeah it's pretty big commitment and not for everyone. Hopefully this list will others though as many of the ideas and quick and cheap to do
I love watching everyone post photos of there naughty elfs it looks so much fun I wanted to do it for my dogs lol
Going to send my daughters that list they are always looking for new ideas my granddaughters love the wee elf

We have an elf on the shelf at work and he likes to hide the coffee tin from one of our collegues, great fun.
ILOVEFANTA love seeing all the elf photos a woman in my work has 2 in work and everyone hides them she cracks up people take them home and send her photos
