    Evening all, I fed Phil 33p today :)

    Love the story of the long balloon, FAS!! I've still got 3 balloons to use up and am planning to make them as part of my cottage industry challenge - find out how much one is worth then feed the proceeds to Phil :D

    I've now added 'Phil the Pig' as a category in my spending diary online. Can't remember who mentioned it on MSE but it is a fab site to use if you are doing these challenges :) It means I can CHEAT!! :rotfl: It totals up as you go along, so I'll know approximately how much is in Phil less the first couple of kilos :T

    Back again... there was an overcharge on my Co-op receipt so I have now been back and got a refund of 91p... 50p for me, 41p for Phil :)

    Yes, I'll go to any lengths to save a few pence and I hate being overcharged. I don't call this insanity, I call it 'in training for eccentricity' :rotfl:
