Actually only 1 is for me. I have 5 great nieces and nephews and a niece and nephew and they are all having one for christmas. I'm going to paint them white and give them to them with a pack of feltpens so they can decorate them themselves!!!!!!! Very MSE don;t you think! I would make them for my other 5 nieces and nephews but 2 live in USA and you aren;t allowed to take livestock in :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: and the other 3 are older!!

They don;t take that long to make - depends how many layers you put on. I tend to do about 3 layers, leave to dry, add the feet and nose do another few layers then leave to dry completly for 3 -4 days before fiinshing off ! :T

Surfbabe, thanks for all the info , much appreciated. I'm thinking of doing one, though hubs says he'll gladly make me one out of wood (on his lathe), so might just end up with 2 and the Wilko hexagonal(ish) jar I'm already using. I think that's great ideas for your little ones and a brilliant idea to give them the chance to colour them as they wish as it'll give them something good to do during their hols ans quite possibly end up as their favourite presents!!:rolleyes: There could be a market for them there Maybe a PIGGY market!!!! :rotfl:Down goes the price of pork, too mache paper content! :rotfl:

Suze4Dan2007 - good to have you join us. We open up the pots on Dec 1st and start again Dec 2nd, so come on the new thread and I'll give you your very own number for the year ahead.

Molly, are you absolutely sure it wasn't Mrs S :question::question: Maybe it's sparky in drag!!!! :snow_laug
lilmissmup, you keep coming as it wouldn't be the same without you - and you can still save some even now!

£1.16 just dropped from hubby's pocket, how very, very odd. :rolleyes:

Sue,
Unfortunately I'm 5' 6", with very little hair (not blonde lol), I don't think stunty would be impressed if he saw me in ladies clothes! (A bit like Emily Howard (crap transvestite) from Little Britain lol), BTW, I see you're still [STRIKE]fleecing[/STRIKE] sorry relieving DH of his loose change. :rolleyes:

DW found a £2 coin when she left work the other day, just lying on the ground in the car park. So far since March 31st we've found almost £38. The kids by me who do penny for the guy, have been throwing away anything less than 10p, which is good for my pocket lol :j

Don't you believe it sparky, he encourages us in wicked ways, still it would concern me not to know who it was, but I reckon she likes to keep him on his toes and in good behaviour. Yeah, well that doesn't work then!;)

I'd never thought of putting all "road finds" into a separate pot, but will do from Dec 2nd onward.

No idea ellie, maybe Mumzy will see this and let us know - if she does!

Hubs gave me £3. 57 for the pot today, bless his [STRIKE]cotton socks[/STRIKE] or should that be pockets!!!

moneypooh

It's getting really exciting now :j
