    Dear old albert just doesn't seem to get the point of this challenge!

    I don't care about the 6% i will get on 1p, its fun, i have made a few friends because of this thread and seeing your paper mache animals (and laughing when i thought your house was covered in paper mache due to that balloon) is more important to me!

    I really would love to attempt a 6 foot balloon papier mache animal but I think I'd need more than an egg carton for feet and a snout... anyone got popcorn buckets? :rotfl: Can you IMAGINE that being filled?? I'd need a crane to lift it. OOOH! I could wait 'til it was full (years), run up a huge credit card bill and pay off the full balance a month later - the length of time it would take for the crane to get from here to the bank :D:D:D

    OR!! List it on eBid or eBay for charity - piggy bank full of cash - buyer collects!

    You're right, I don't, but we are all different:D, and if it's fun then that's ok, your money, your choice.

    I am sorry if I tainted the thread, but hopefully one person may have a rethink and save a few hundred quid as a result. 6% doesn't seem much, but it could be 35% to some.


    Do tell.... please tell.... 35% interest?? I have my drill at the ready and 'Phil the Pig' is looking a tad worried :eek:

    This is how STOOPIT I can be... notwithstanding the fact that I overlooked HOW to get a giant pig out through my doors, it has now just dawned on me that I have a very leaky garage lying empty because I don't own a car!!! If I could mend that roof..... :beer:

    Imagine opening up them old double doors and coming face to face with a six foot....

    Main problem, 2 words - Postage, Packaging

    It would cost more than they were worth to pack/box them up and send them out - craft fairs and stalls are much better ;)
