    Wow, newcomers! Welcome to sealed pot land... does that mean we can all start making papier mache sealed banks again? Happy.gif

    Phil feels about half full and is only a few pennies off of 5kg in weight. My 'guesstimate' is 5kg = £70 in mixed coins up to 20p level, so he needs to gain a further 2.5kg by December 1st to ensure he's made it [STRIKE]to[/STRIKE] over the £100 mark. But, this is all just cunning guesswork and I haven't, actually, got a clue how much is in there :D

    Happy.gif Phil the Pig has just broken through the 5kg weight barrier! :j :j

    Sadly, I will no longer be able to weigh the pig as my kitchen scale only reads up to 5kg but it's still good to know that I made my first target and that everything else from now until 1st December is a mystery to me. But it's still going to be really sad having to slice open poor Phil the Pig. :o

    Never mind, all you diehards here will be pleased to know that I am planning on making the 'big pig!' I promise there will be photos taken throughout the process but I haven't found anyone brave enough to blow up the balloon yet! I mean, if this thing bursts, it could register on the richter scale! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I think I'll call it 'Grand Pig' and see if I can get anywhere near £1000 in him (or her)!
