Spendaholic_Chick

Well, I bought a sealed tin in poundland today so it's all systems go here! Couldn't face putting £1 coins in, so put all my 10p's an 20p's in - around £2 I think so far. Now I wanna paper mache piggy though!

Surfbabe your penguin is ace. I have started to make something. I have got as far as putting paper on it and I have got some paint, but that is it. How did you make the feet for the penguin?

Glad you are feeling a little better Mumzyof2

Hi Guys!

Not been on for a couple of days, glad you're feeling a little better mumzy, (((big hugs))).

NYK, do you know what you've started with the paper mache revolution!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
It's like Animal Farm, they're going to take over the world!! You should print the recipe and designs and charge for it, you'd make a fortune!!;)

My youngest is still attempting to paint her pig, the paint we had was too thin and the newsprint is STILL showing, must get some emulsion out of the shed.....

Stuntman, Nativity is always tiresome unless you know a particularly cute child with a leading role to give it the AWWW Factor. A few years ago my youngest ws told to be a star (chorus) but cried because she wanted to be the donkey!!!! She didnt want any other part, not Mary, the angel,...The Donkey!! After 2 days the nursery teacher took pity and drssed her up in a brown outfit, complete with ears and a tinsel lead rope and she looked most adorable and almost brought the house down (well, how often do you see a donkey stand on 2 legs to see over the inn door and listen to Joseph's chat with the innkeeper!!) Happy days...
