    I guess he'll just have to be emptied a little more often. Reasonably cute tho....and free!

  • Ive seen the words 'mortgage pig' on the forum a few times. So often in fact that i was conditioned to ignore it, that was until a few minutes ago... What a cool idea, and even more cool is the fact i got a little piggy 'piggy bank' already. He'll do just fine and i've put him above the tv so I will only see him for about 4 hours of the day!!!!

    OMG Thats my pig! bet he hasnt got a broken off and re-glued tail where my mum knocked it off cleaning when i was little, I cried for hours. We are calling him Pork Chop.

    (edit: BTW my pig is male, always has been always will be :D )

    No Truffle's tail is quite intact, is Pork Chop about 28 too? Could be twins here!;) Or are there more lurking about?

    Hi,

    I have got myself a v. cute mortgage pig off ebay (99p) and am feeding him regularly with £1 and £2 coins. He is called 'Bob' (pronounced in the manner of Blackadder) and is beginning to get nicely chubby. Thanks to the OP for a brilliant idea!
