    Morning all

    Lilmissmup .. don't worry - you aren't on your own..my hubby gets frisked every time he comes in..and if he has any 2euros.... i get all aexcited :rotfl: if he has quite a few (we get loads compared to £2 coins back home) i will even swap them for notes :o ...it really is sad -but i can't help it :D

    We have to nip out soon -mainly so i can return hubbies beer bottles to the supermarket and get my deposits back -they go in a seperate tin.. and will get a few bits whilst im there...and then start my tin off :j
    Im going to track its weight..and how many coins/notes go in..but not the total :rotfl:

    have a good day everyone

    Oh and mumzyof2 -hope the terramundi arrives soon:D

    Today's the day. Just started and put £7.50 in my coffee jar. I'm off to town in a bit to see if I can pick up a cheap large jar or I might find one around the house somewhere.


    Good luck everyone in the challenge

    He's not quite dry yet, so the weighing of the pig won't begin until tomorrow morning - 1st December 2007!

    Good luck to all, may the best pig get stuffed (full of money) :D

    That has to be the cutest piggy bank ever!!!! It looks brilliant!

    Also thanks to mumzyof2 for sorting out the numbers for everyone etc.

    Good luck to everyone who has signed up for the challenge. I've started off by putting in £1.50 in my sealed tin today.

    Phil the pig is going to become a star. Not only is he going to be fed everyday, but he's also going to model for my 'Phil the Pig' novelty 'offcuts' in the 'start a cottage industry' challenge. This is SO addictive! :) Good luck everyone. Phil ate a handful of change for breakfast after my trip to the shop. All coins under 50p going his way, as I'm REALLY frugal and bank everything else into my ISA. My signature gives a clue as to why LOL
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.
