    He's not quite dry yet, so the weighing of the pig won't begin until tomorrow morning - 1st December 2007!

    Good luck to all, may the best pig get stuffed (full of money) :D
    oooh - missed the fact you were doing this! Have you got instructions - might do this with my kids this weekend!

    He's just a balloon with pieces of egg carton cellotaped on and then torn up newspapers soaked in homemade 'flour & water' paste. What I would have liked was one of those really big balloons, but I'd to make do with the Children in Need one from last week's fundraising LOL Oh, and the reason he's pink is because that's the only colour emulsion that was available without painting him 'magnolia'! :rotfl:

    Thanks for my number! Rather than buying a new vessel to put it in I'm being crafty, recycling and makign a statement! LOL

    This week I cleared out all the old financial paperwork I had going back YEARS (ank statements, old chequebook stubs, delivery notes). I was afraid fo putting them in recycle bin because of sensitive material so instead put it all in a bucket of water and made paper mache! That paper mache is going to make me a pig to put my money in - with just a slot in it's back to put in and no way to get it out till i destory it next year - and help destory my debts!

    Yep, that's exactly what I did, except with newspapers :)

    I wouldn't want to smash him..:rolleyes:

    I would carefully cut a flap in his belly so the money will fall out and then put some more paper n paste over it to patch him up and use him again :rotfl:
