PigginDo you have a love for collecting animal figurines? Maybe you can`t resist the cute, cheeky, yet charming characters from the
Piggin range? If so, you would not be alone the
Piggin collection has captured the hearts of thousands of fans from all around the world. And you can be sure there is a
Piggin character for everyone and every occasion. This much loved range of ornamental pigs were first produced in 1993 by Collectible World Studios but the idea and design of the range came from much renowned artist David Corbridge. His special brand of humour and unique quirky animation has proved a winning combination and this is reflected in his hard to resist in his now world famous range. The very first figure in the range he designed was called
Piggin Tired and he got the insppiration for this after seeing a pig sleeping contentedly with his head rested on an old tractor tyre. The range continues to grow today with increasing popularity.
Estate Agents BuryMy brother in law owns an
Estate Agents Bury and he has been doing this for many years now. When he first opened his
Estate Agents Bury he was doing really well as it was at the height of the property boom when houses were being snapped up by people desperate to buy homes. However, over the last couple of years his
Estate Agents Bury has really struggled for business. Obviously, this is not surprising when one considers the current financial climate. We all know that the bottom has really fallen out of the housing market and people are finding it much more difficult to sell their homes at a price they need to achieve. Alsso, less people are buying property because mortgages are becoming much more difficult to obtain as banks are also feeling the pinch in the credit crunch. These factors have all had a massive effect on my brother in law`s business and he has really had to diversify to manage to keep his business afloat. One area he has ventured into is that of property rentals and he admits that, had he not done this, then he really would have had to close his business down. He is still struggling through and hopes that the financial recovery will be really swift.
