Hi Sue

Yep - cover a balloon with a layer of newspaper papier mache, then tape the feet and snout on (means its smooth on the inside and coins don;t get stuck in the feet when you burst the balloon) then just keep layering with newspaper strips. I then left it a week till it was dry before painting it. For post last year I did the final layer with spotty tissue paper and Pete the Penguin is a final couple of payers of tissue paper.

Hope that is some help!!

Surfbabe Thanks so much for the advice, and yes, it'll certainly help a lot...but how do you get the paste on to paper without a brush, dip each strip in or.... I'm glad you said about the tissue too as I've plenty of that. Brilliant, now I can get on - without excuses. It might sound daft, but I'm almost terrified of starting it! ...........<<<<"really love reading this thread and so glad I'm part of the team">>>> That was a real pleasure to read Kittikins, I hope everyone else feels the same as that's exactly the atmosphere we need and I was hoping for, keep enjoying it and well done with your "do I need it" policy!! :T

Would you like me to put that on your target or £100? At present it's for £500..........Nickynoo, thanks so much for telling me, where's that to then?? ..........A great amount mcjordi, though I see what you mean with the early start.....Don't feel threatened by him Miss Piggy as every coin counts! :A .....LC - I almost missed that!!! :eek: I would ask what the devil are you doing with money under the bed, but maybe I'd best not! :whistle:;) No 'only' about it ratty!

Hello All
Thanks for your support and nice messages.:T

Pleased to report I am much happier today and have decided to use half of my sealed pot money to pay off debts when I open it next December. As hard as I am trying to clear it, pretty sure there will still be some of it left this time next year:rotfl:

Well done to everyone, we are all doing very well already.

Glad to hear you're feeling chirpier. This time of year can be a bit depressing.:rolleyes:

Well I have put 40p in today and averaged about 20-30p every day since I started. It's not much but I guess "Every little helps"! xxx
