    P.S. Congratulations on your Barclaycard success Stunty - well done.:T

    So long as he isn't about to be fired from a canon!!! In the event that he is, then all possible health and safety measures must be taken to ensure that the act meets stringent forum rules and all current legislation :rotfl:

    Note for Surfbabe - be glad you only used the black, it could have been far worse had you opted for a rainbow coloured penguin! LOL

    Note for Piglet - For your little 'too easy to gain entry' problem, try Duct Tape

    Note for Frogga - A tea caddy is fine if you PROMISE not to empty and count the change before the end of the challenge

    Note for Spendaholic Chick - For your name's sake, we'll just keep a keen eye on your weight gain (of your tin) for your own good LOL

    Note for The Unknownstuntman - Hurry up! We're all extremely curious now

    Good luck to all and best wishes to Mumzy.

    PS: I wanna make a paper mache penguin too!!! And I wanna make a giraffe!!
    Anyone got any of theose loooooooooong bendy balloons? ROFL

    This is true. Have found that toothpaste and a nailbrush are quite good at getting black off !!!!! Still coloured though - may have to attack fingers a couple more times before going to work!!!

    I'd love to join this challenge, please!

    I'm going to aim for £200 - bit of a longshot, but we live in hope. And after reading about 15 pages of this thread, 'Terramundi Envy', a serious condition whereby the patient cannot help envying those who have a Terramundi. The only cure is getting one bought for you...
