Get yourself a 'Mortgage Pig'

Was only a wee piggy bank I was talking about. It is definitely not pink, and don't think that I ever said anything about that. Cannot find any mention of "pink" in any of my posts, until now - not my colour darling!
My piggy is at least 28 years and much loved - he is unlikely to mate due to being ceramic.
Sorry if anyone took my last post as homophobic - certainly not meant that way.

Don't worry I have just read your post and even when I tried to read it with a different view I could not find a homophobic angle to it. It reads to me like a common made in jest, like calling a pig bacon, (I hope no pigs complain about this :eek: ).

Good luck with Truffle, and good luck to eveyone else :beer:

Right you lot....wheesht about all things gay otherwise I shall have to spend all morning on the net looking for a 'stamp your feet' smilie and an 'I'm taking my ball and going home' smilie. :rotfl:

I think all things pink and all things gay are just fandabbydosy regardless of whether they are pink and gay together or not.

Now moving swiftly on...........I want to cry. I was soooooo close to the finish post that I was thinking of changing my user name to 'smug ali', lol. We're now going to have to put our mortgage clear date back a bit as our car is in the garage today and it's worse than we expected and is going to cost a small fortune.

Herman is going to have to have a busman's holiday and help us with the garage bill instead of the mortgage this month.

Actually....I might go look for that stamping smilie anyway.

Ohh poo! Sorry to hear that aliasjo = I await your smug g*t smilie at some time soon in the future!
On the stamp your feet smilie, lets just have a bit of tolerance and humour whether you are straight gay pink or blue!

With the help of Google, I've started to make a Paper Mache Pig.

Its not going well and my bath room looked like a bomb had gone off in a pot of erm some kind of liquid! Its drying at home so hopefully it will resemble something better than a load of soaked newspaper around a balloon which is what it did this morning!

Well you may start some new art wave! Everyone will want a balloon in wet newsprint in their bathroom!

Oh lol Keith! Good for you for giving it a go.

Hopefully your pmmp (paper mache mortgage pig) will turn out ok.

I might do this with my daughter later today just for something to make. My Mum was an arty crafty sort and so is my daughter, she loves making things. (The gene must have bypassed by in a hurry, lol....there's very little arty about me. :rotfl: )

Hi

Sorry if this has been asked but where can I get a piggy bank from? I really want to have a go at this, I have a massive whiskey bottle at the mo but think the piggy might work better for me

Have started the £2 thing and have saved coppers and silver (except 50ps) last count I had £42! started in January :j

You could try Woolworths - my local one has a display stand with lots of kiddie's bright plastic pigs with names on.
