Old and tired (I will probably still be awake at midnight, but too lazy to do this once I’m comfy). See you all on the flip side #happynewyear #goodbye2018 #hello2019 #2019 (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsEclHshf1p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tnkrd04ph7jk

Day 24. I was planning on having a big finale for Barnaby, but then I was ill for the 37th Xmas in a row and went to bed before the kids last night. Had to rustle up something first thing this morning and this is all I could manage 🙁 Happy Christmas everyone. Hope you all have the best time ever!! #disappointing #maybenextyear #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday24 #24thDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrxOAZ3h9KR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13x3pd133o0av

Day 23. This looks cool, but he actually refused to stay up there longer than a few minutes. The kids came down to find him on the floor 😡 #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday23 #23rdDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie https://www.instagram.com/p/BrxNlhHBb8f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xi624sbgckt3

Day 22. That’s Rudolph he’s riding on, in case there’s any confusion. Got a bit behind on the updates, sorry. Been a busy few days #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday22 #22ndDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrxNbrFBuZy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5umrj85u8hn9

Day 21, aka, my biggest baby’s 6th birthday! Barnaby joined in the bday celebrations by making himself a hot air balloon. Clever elf, that one #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday21 #21stDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie #6thbirthday (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrqMUjBB7yY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wm7x9ymatosj

Day 20. Phew, Barnaby escaped and got his own back. Get back to the North Pole, you imposter!! #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday20 #20thDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrnFrEPh0PK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1941cn3ndlddw

Day 19 and who the hell is this that’s turned up and tried to take Barnaby’s place?? The kids named him Jingle Baby Elf 🤷🏻‍♀️ #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday19 #19thDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrnFhAuhn6f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7r8xgddbqt4

Scraping the barrel with these ideas now! This one started well and ended up with an elf splattered on the floor. Kids thought it was funny, luckily #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday18 #18thDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brh-GU4Bxyi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13ywyx2tv2kpz

Snowball fight!!! Ok, so I’m really starting to dislike Barnaby. Thank God he’ll be buggering off back to the North Pole in a week!! #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday17 #17thDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrgThi5hu4y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3frbg29ynxa0

He’s pretty flexible, our Barnaby. Same can’t be said for Lego man and weird pipe-cleaner girl though #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday16 #16thDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brdc8BPBu1R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nxeb1xulgnzo

Honestly Barnaby, wtf you doing?!?! #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday15 #15thDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrZv_j4BbDc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rxijg3jvmfxs

I really don’t know what this is supposed to be, if I’m honest, but the more ill I feel, the worse these elf ideas get!! #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday14 #14thDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrYcNAEh0QA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ryvhz38zhs24

Day 13. The tiniest, and worst, gingerbread house I’ve ever made. Shouldn’t have let the kids decorate it on their own either - not up to my standards at all!!! #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday13 #13thDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrVvDtJh8DI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a9mgmgp4wgdm

Im really ill, so today’s elfie is very uninspiring. I just picked up the top of yesterday’s snowman and threw it down this sloped box lid 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Can you believe we’re halfway through?! #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday12 #12thDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrSObaxhZTz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5mwtkgd3ca5r

Yesterday’s elfie, ft. all my junk in the background! #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday11 #11thDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 #elfie (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrSOMrKBI_r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r0c4tttjoo62

The ‘shoe shoe’ train. My kids found it funny at least! #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday10 #10thDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrOLoueBOy6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bkbclx02ag7

I’m afraid today’s display kind of sucks. I had a lot of anxiety going on that left me thoroughly unenthusiastic about Barnaby last night. I did still use actual fishing line to make their rods through 🤷🏻‍♀️ #beingaroundgroupsofpeoplemakesmesick #anxietysucks #itnevertrulygoesaway #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elfontheshelfday8 #8thDecember #naughtyelf #christmas #christmas2018 (at Maidenhead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrKiU17hTVT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iktb9qmh487y
