Piggy has been paid for!! And only 3 days left to go! The excitement!

[Ham Day @thehamday]

@anniebedders Yup, seen her in all her glory, hanging in le butchers :) She's gonna be one tasty piggy. Albeit not too much meat on her

[Ham Day @thehamday]

*Warning* slightly graphic, if you're eating you lunch, you've been warned. Piggy!! Oink!

[Ham Day @thehamday]

Just had a AAA day pass at the butcher's to go in their meat locker and see the piggy!! He/she is a bit dead, but should be tasty!!

[Ham Day @thehamday]

Butchers say the pig is being killed next tuesday. Its days are numbered! I say since its still alive we name it :) suggestions? #namethepig

[Ham Day @thehamday]

So on that early morning, it was decreed that every year, this day would forever be celebrated as Ham Day. 5 years later... #storyofhamday

The ham was ready at about 4am. Everyone was plastered. It was kind of like free kebabs for everyone. It was beautiful. #storyofhamday

[Ham Day @thehamday]

"Happy Birthday!" They said. "Now cook this". Borrowed a tray, & started boiling the ham in a pan. Boiled, then honey roasted #storyofhamday

[Ham Day @thehamday]

Then, some of them turned up with some ham. A 5.6kg ham joint, which they had picked up for 10p. Bargain of the century! #storyofhamday

[Ham Day @thehamday]

Just took delivery of two large sacks of charcoal this morning :) I love it when a plan comes together

[Ham Day @thehamday]

So his friends all turned up with lots of booze, and things to make into paninis. They'd all been to tesco, and brought stuff #storyofhamday

[Ham Day @thehamday]

He'd just moved into a new house & had no furniture save for a futon, inflatable couch, a computer for a tv, and panini maker #storyofhamday

On one cold winter night, 2nd January 2007, one boy was having a birthday. So he invited all his friends round for a party #storyofhamday

[Ham Day @thehamday]

Two weeks to go until Ham Day 5!! In the run up, we'll be running a series of tweets telling the story of Ham Day!
