Congrats!!I've got a payment from greasypalm coming in a few days and I hope to get up to £50 from my ebay sales from this month so almost a £100 there. It seems to be going very slowly so far this month, must be the weather!

Just like to say how brilliant some of you are doing with this and I'm envious - I haven't got a house so am doing a fill the bottle to build up a deposit on a house - have to get a good job first... :mad:

Just saw quite pigs in local hospice today, rather than the bottle and may go back tomorrow to buy one of them. I might be more inclined to save a bit more in that. :j

I must admit kiwigirl, that actually having a cute pig sat by my computer has spurred me on a lot more than the old bottle i used to use, so it was worth the £7 i spent on him!!!!

Yeah, have been thinking of buying a little pig or small pot pet of some description, if I'm passing the hospice tomorrow I'll go and buy one, might as well give them a bit of money too, must admit the money I had from old US dollars when I was on holiday last which I swopped with my mum this week is starting to burn a hole in my pocket so best thing I suppose is to "invest" in a small pig (if I relocate I can't exactly take this big bottle with me rather than other more important items but a smaller pig would be more tranportable, and put the remainder in the pig.

Well up above the £300 mark at last, slow going this month, haven't had much time to put towards overpaying and getting extra money in, boo hoo! I really want to see my total dip out of the 80's next month!!

Managed to add another £102.25, I'll have to complain more often about it being slowgoing!!

I recently received confirmation from building society about making regular overpayment on mortgage:j then I receive a morgage statement with latest balance owing but what i don't like is that on the same statement they also tell you how much you can take back and when that amount is mounting up it's very, very tempting - I must resist, I must resist.............
