    Well, I have made my papier-mache pig. Well it's still drying at the moment, but will proudly post a photo of it when it is done. Have made it quite big, in the hopes of filling it :D

    JCD_Capulet = Why don't you make a pig too, then it would be harder to pinch pennies out of it as it would mean smashing it open ;) , just a thought.

    Going to aim on £100, but the more the merrier :T
