Get yourself a 'Mortgage Pig'

kiwi88_2

I am now the proud owner of a large plastic screw top container with a bunch of ribbons round its neck :rotfl:

DH got me a tub of flying saucer sweets for xmas and the second thing I did ( I had to try them first of course :rotfl: ) was to size up the container and see if it was strong enough to be used for change

I now have Percy pig for 50p & £1 coins, a large whisky bottle for all coppers which takes ages to fill, a golly moneybox for £2 coins and I have decided to use the plastic container for 5p,10p & 20p coins.

:rotfl: That should cover all bases I think :rotfl:

Hi guys,
I saw piggy banks in the Yorkshire Trading Company the other day - I think they were £1.99 and quite unmissable, being the brightest of garish colours with flowers on!
I thought of you all...

yes, piggy banks seem to be everywhere at the moment...are we just noticing them more or have the MFWs started a fashion?

Remembered seeing this thread on the main board one day but never got round to reading it. What a fab idea - great use of psychology in personalising the pig too - will now have to find one and give it a prominent position in the house. Will have to start thinking of a name :rotfl:

Just bought my flowery mortgage pig with "keep out" written on it from Woolworths.

What a great idea, have already started to try to feed it!!

Had a good count up of the jar, and cashed in my £2.00 coins. Managed about £75.00, thats Dec & Jan (Try to empty every month). Got 2 more bags that need to be paid in, but Nationwide will only allow 5 bags!! Great Hey!!
Oh well, Feeling very inspired this year to take a large chunk out of the Mortgage.
How is everyone getting on with their piggies???

thanks for the welcome catowen, have purchased 'Toby' today he is one of the named pigs from Woolies I know the name is a bit naff but my 2 yr old chose him cos he's purple! He has eaten £2 so far today but we'll see how it goes.
