in Old style MoneySaving
My son has to take two 'blown eggs' into school tomorrow.

I haven't got a clue what I'm supposed to be doing and I'm not sure what blown eggs actually are!!! Can I have some Old Style advice please! :o

    I think they maybe want 'empty' eggs to decorate for EAster.

    Using a pin you need to !!!!!! eack end of the egg and blow the egg out of the shell.

    I haven't done this for ages so i cant remember how big the hole will have to be. Not too big - not too smal - lol!!!

    Happy blowing :D
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    Blowing eggs is easy, as long as you make sure that you "pierce" the yolk inside, otherwise you'll be cream crackered before you get halfway done :D
