I wonder if we could shrink Herman's pic to smilie size.
We could copy it into our posts every time we feed our pigs, lol.
I've just stuck £1.50 into mine instead of sending my lad to the shop for a bottle of coke and I've got a drink of diluting juice out the kitchen instead. Every little helps.
I've found a couple of piggy bank ones and a dancing pig but I do not know how to A) make them small enough andinsert them into a message!!! The little one as an avatar I managed but do not know how to put him in a message? Sorry. This pig thing is catching!!!!! :rotfl:

Im going to start doing this as well, I have a large sealed tin which ive been saving 50p's in for over a year, its about half full so when its full i will take it in and pay off a bit of the mortgage. :j
Im already members of the £2 coin and 20p savers club so i am now a proud member of the mortgage pig club aswell!!

I've been wondering for weeks - what's a sticky?mjh1977 Highest debt -18.5k (Dec 04) Current debt now below £10k for the first time in 4 years :j0

Sticky means the thread will stay on the front page even if no one posts on them for a while. More people get the opportunity to see it and contribute then. The sticky threads are the ones with a 'pin' in them at the top of the page.May all your dots fall silently to the ground.0

Got a pig now. Partner quite taken with the idea - called the pig Lance, don't ask.Got a big statement written out to.
THANK YOU!! Anything that helps curb the spending and cuts down the mortgage is a good idea in my book.0 -
Wow, what a fantastic idea.................so good in fact, that you have got us debt free wannabes hooked on the idea too.........so much so that someone has posted a link over here. :rotfl:
A big thank you for making getting out of debt more fun too!!!!!!
Thank-youWhat's he building in there???
Debt at highest £30,450 (Dec 05)
Debt at lowest £9, 113 (Jul 07)
How much did we over spend whilst on maternity leave :mad:0 -
This is amazing, just followed the link from the debt free board! I happened to order myself a piggy from pigsback with my points so now I cant wait for him to arrive! I have a boring old vase type thing at the moment that gets a few odds and sods thrown in (usually when i tidy the flat, which isnt v often!)
I will definately be writing a piggy mission so he can get settled in as soon as he arrives!0 -
Well I just banked £60 and will be able to transfer it over to my mortgage, the pig I have at the moment is doing quite well, she's only a little one so I'm looking forward to ordering one from pigsback, I have enough points now I have to wait until I've belonged another 8 days!
I must say it has focused my mind more on what I spend than any budget has done up till now!0
