I wanted to thank the OP as I've been using a pig too. It's on our kitchen side and we were amazed at how much we saved in doing so. I counted just under £50 in 1p, 2p and 5 p coins alone!:beer:

:j got another £4.12 in b.o.g.o.f.s and £8 in £2 coins [theres a few more about] you must have banked yours Batgirl,registered with Pigsback and have got £5.55 so far.Do you have to be a member for a certain lengh of time b4 you can order or can I order my savings piggy now ? be grateful if someone can let me know .Just got to find out now how I can overpay my mortgage.I'm a bit obsessive about rounding figuers up to nice even numbers so will wait till have got £100 to pay in

this is an excellent idea, now i am torn, do i start my own mortgage pig....or do i search the house and list of my piggies on ebay and get rich from you lot, lol.

i do have a festive snowman that demands £2.00 a week from me towards christmas, but i am thinking he could really do with a friend, i have seen a little piggy somewhere, they would make a lovely couple, and 1 bottle of wine less per week, could mean an extra £156 to £208 every year off my mortgage

you have really started a national trend with this one

No its not me I haven't banked mine yet but I also got 3 today :eek: so maybe the royal mint have been reading this thread and made some more .

The piggypoint piggybanks ( say that after a few drinks) you have 325piggypoints for a pig but you should have that much within the first few days, if you have a look at the freebies board there is a pigsback points for free clicks thread which will give you loads of info to make the most piggy points possible.

Hope that helps, and thanks for letting me recommend you.

You have to be a member of pigsback for so many days before you can claim, im not sure if it is 14 days, or 28 days - but once they have passed you can order as often as you need to.

Just checked - you can order once you have been a member for 10 days!!

I've just found this website today and have to say I think this is an amazing idea, the whole site is but this bit especially.

There is quite a collection of assorted money boxes in our house as DS likes to visit the local (ish) 'paint a pot' studio for birthdays etc

Now, do I really need to pay someone else to clean my house?? And do I need that magazine subscription? Off to figure out how much i actually fritter away on unneccesaries (Is that a word), I'm scared _pale_

I'm supposed to be on a food diet too so anytime temptation strikes I'll put the chocolate / sweet money in the elephant too.

Thanks for listening to my rambling

That sounds like you are making a fab start, well done you, I really would love a cleaner but keep on thinking of better things to spend the money on:o.

Got 3 £2 coins over weekend so its a start for this month.
