I have grinned my way through the whole post! This is marvellous and you deserve a nomination i just dont know how to do it!!

I have lots of money boxes lerking around the house that have been bought for the children just need to pick the friendliest looking beast!! I have a choice of a giant tortoise, a giant snail and a bumble bee so far!

I might keep one for the kitchen and one for the lounge near the phone responsible for ordering take aways! If he guards the menus i might not dare get them out!

If this carries on we should have a photo board for all the pigs!! PIGS ON PARADE!!

i bought a blue plastic pig from IKEA a few months ago and he stores all my loose change. He's just been given a new identity 'Mortie' and a new job saving to overpay my mortagage. Thanks for the great idea and another incentive to save.

What a fantastic idea, I want a pig as cute as yours. What shall I call him? Think I'll have a raffle 20p a ticket (6 of us) whoever wins gets to name the pig and the money, you've guessed goes in the pig!

Well I clicked my fingers to the bone to earn enough points on pigsback for my piggy and it says it will be available in 9 days!! + 14 delivery, well I'll just have to manage with the one my little one bought and hope I don't end up dropping it.
The pigsback one is clear so I preferred to see the cash mounting up!

This is a great idea.. i'm off work for a couple more days so will get on eBay and get us a piggy bank! A bargain one of course ;-)

A great idea.....I may get a "Fritter Pig" as I'm sure I could save more money if I really thought about it rather than fritter it away on non essentials! Not a very flattering name, must try and think of a better one, any ideas? :T

how about Fritz the fritter pig?!

Aah can't get my piggy off cashback until I've belonged to them for 10 days!

What a marvellously simple, straight forward, fun idea that all the family can join in.

I have a boring demi john in my bedroom hidden away, it does its job, however, I can see how this would actively motivate us. I like the idea of challenging myself as to what Herman (or whatever you call your collecting implement) would think.

Brill, love it! Another nomi coming your way.

You could cover the demijohn handles? witha pair of ears??!! I'm obsessed by this thread now, I have to stop coming here!
