    About 18 years in the making :eek: Guess the weight comp?

    you have a little way to go yet.


    The world's largest rubber band ball was created by Joel Waul. He is the current World Record Holder according to the Guinness World Records. The ball, which previously sat under a tarp in Waul's driveway, weighs 9,032 pounds (4,097 kg), is more than 8 feet (2.4 m) tall, and consists of more than 700,000 rubber bands. It set the world record on November 13, 2008

    Steve Milton previously held the record for the biggest rubber band ball. During the construction of his rubber band ball, he was sponsored by OfficeMax, who sent him rubber bands to use for his ball.[3]

    Before Steve Milton, the record was held by John Bain of Delaware. His ball weighs around 3,500 pounds (1,600 kg), consisting of over 850,000 rubber bands. The bands were donated by two companies: Alliance Rubber and Textrip/Stretchwell Inc

    So ... has anyone worked out a quick way to use up the ink from a pen to claim the £10 ... at this rate I will have lost the receipt or the deadline will have passed :o. Or is this one cheat too far and not considered Eilte?

    Many thanks

    Morning everyone.

    Been reading the feed your family for about 20 a week on fbook. People are saying it's impossible to spend less than 70 quid a week :eek: on food. My budget has been 65.00 for the month in October and I'm under that, got 80.00 in apgs to come! I think I'll have a no spend month on groceries in November.

    My friend spends around 150 a week on herself, a 5 year old who has free school dinners, a baby and 4 cats. She knows this forum exists but does it anyway. Crazy.
