He's back....

Not only is this Elf on the Shelf back, I now have an Irish Elf to contend with who, the blurb tells me, only does good things because 'Being bad is so last year!' I had sort of hoped that this year the elves would be discarded but no, the magic is still there for V, which is lovely BUT I have to remember in December that when she sleeps over, the next morning one or other of the elves must have done something during the night.
This morning, after we dropped V to school, we went on and shopped, adding more presents bought to our list - definitely a win win as we were so early that the shops were pretty empty!
