Get yourself a 'Mortgage Pig'

Move_To_Portugal

My poor piggy was practically empty this month as I think people were getting used to him being in the same place, so I moved him to a different spot in the dining room.
I heard dh dropping money in earlier so I think my plan worked.:D

I think half-term is seriously hampering my putting into the pig!!! I've given up diet coke for Lent and was meant to be putting money in I would have spent on the odd can and I can't even do that!!!

On the plus side, I diverted some Quidco earnings straight to the mortgage so that's £25 that I consider in the pig!

bunty, I know the feeling with half term, they are too costly!

I agree too about school holidays, I save money in the months before to try and even it up and at the end of this month I will start my summer holidays savings as I earn nothing during school holidays and there is all the extra expense.

Won a few times on free bingo and have decided that anything less than £5 or if I win £9.42 the £4.42 goes into the mortgage account. So I will def make my target of £50 this month maybe even a little bit more :T

Hi Batgirl

How do you win on free bingo? Do you not have to deposit money to begin with?

No you don't have to deposit anything, you do have to enter your bank details and if you win you have to deposit some of your own money but then you withdraw your money and your winnings so it has cost you nothing. There is a link on post one of the "make £10 a day february" that explains it far better than I can. But i assure you its FREE!!!!

For a BIG pig your probably best looking at ebay, but if you are happy to settle for a small pig, you can get a free one from pigsback.

i found a medium sized pig in an ebay shop for £8 but i can't remember the name of it. however if you type in piggy bank then theres a link to it at the bottom, think i'm gonna empty my pig out at the end of every month and put it on the morgage so i dont get more interest.. think there's about £50 in there now and i think there's £400 in my bank with only a £140 dd to come out!( i have no idea how)this time 2 months ago i would have spent that money on dvd's that i would have left on my shelf and forgot to watch!

Is some of it because you haven't had to pay council tax this month? I know thats been a help for us this month.
