You have to belong 10 days before you can order any rewards, buts it doesn't take too long to get here and its a cute little thing. If you print out a colouring curly for one of the kids to colour in they may win one!

I've been with pigsback for years and still have the mug and a few psot its lying around...never ha to get as far as 400 points before so that was the issue....kept spending them as soon as i could...bit of challenge...so now i can get my piggy bank and stuff it full of wodge....well coppers anyway to start with!!! :rotfl:

In the last couple of days i've sold £25 worth of stuff on amazon, so I'm pleased that stuff I no longer want/need that was sitting there has turned into £25 off my mortgage!

Halloweenqueen,

How do you do it? I'm in awe of you overpaying by soooo much last month!!

I am not worthy to post on the same board as someone who has achieved such greatness!!

I have just sold three videos on Amazon and was happy with my £4.96.... I can only dream of overpayments in the halloweenqueen league!!

Ive just counted up the money from Pork Chop - was £80 in there!!!!! Hadnt checked for a while, cos as i had been getting money i had been paying it straight into the mortgage and not putting it in the pig, so its a lovely surprise to find so much in there!!!!

Hi Suzie - thanks for the kind words - I only started over paying in March - a late developer!!
I have been doing some odd jobs and selling off stuff - so it can't last at that rate - or I'll have nothing left in my house!! Any little extra that comes in that I wouldn't of had before goes on the overpayments, its amazing that a few pounds here and there add up into a few hundred over a month. Now the weather has cooled down a bit I will be able to get into my loft. I just wish I'd over paid before instead of buying all this stuff to put in my loft and sell a few years later! I'm more discerning about what I buy now, so I actually am better off than I would have been - if that makes sense- the money doesn't get spent on rubbish and when i do spend I shop around!
£4.96 will escalate into much more with the interest you've saved, don't knock it every little helps!
Catowen - thats great, poor chop was a porker!!! My pigsy has become more of a reminder than an eater as like you I've been paying it straight in to the mortgage, he does get looose chnage though so we don't starve him!!

Well done HQ and catowen.
Our piggy is filing nicely this month. I'm hoping to have over £100 when he gets emptied at the end of the month. He now has his own display shelf with a pink backdrop on the dresser, visitors think i've lost my marbles;)

Put a bit more in and have lots of stuff to list on ebay, trying to do it before all the post charges go up!!

OH has gone out tonight with his friends and they where going to get a taxi home (probably about £30 - £10 each) Said I'd collect them for the bargain price of £15. More money for my piggy however I do have to stay up late:eek:
