    Just fed peefer - he is nearly full, has to be tipped even for 5p's....... the end is in sight!!!!!!:j :j :j

    Guestimates please - he's a pigsback pig. Coins less than 50p only.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • About £50? Not sure!! I hate guessing anything, I'm useless at it, I start to panic...if you watch the catherine tate show, I'm like the one in the office chucking out random ridiculous answers!

    well done to you all:beer: , you must let us know how much the pig has eaten up in silvers-bet its a fair amount-as silver adds up quickly.
    My guesstimate, without seeing a real life pigsback pig(!) is £47.95 (thought a random number would make it more interesting!!)

    -i am still chipping away at the large whisky jar-am praying i get enough coppers/5ps to fill it before christmas. (am going to have to make friends with the cashier though, as 4.5litres of coppers will take months to exchange-why oh why do these rules on 5 money bags a day exist?!):confused:

    Anyway, to all the mortgage piggers-keep on eating it up!! We're all doing grand!:j
    Mortgage free 04/03/2025. Thanks to this site and lots of overpayments bit by bit.
    Next stop: house repairs, holiday fund, replace our very old cars, more financial security/early retirement savings.🤞

    I'm going for about £72 as you are putting silver as well as coppers! Let's hope it's more! Well done you and in your excitement don't forget to let us know how much :rotfl: Does the closest guess get a prize :rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm guessing £59.43
  • Its a great little community on here now! Perhaps i will get better at guessing!!
    I bet the mortgage companies just love the mortgage piggies!!
  • Just ordered a piggy money box from Pigsback to join you all in paying off the mortgage early. It will remind me not to order the usual chinese on friday evening, because I am too lazy to cook and I will even give the bottle of wine a miss so thats £15 per week that will go in. Now I need to to do a budget so I can see what other costs can go in. Thanks to the OP for starting this thread :T
