    I made both my Cash Cow and Phil the Pig using balloons and paper mache. If you scroll back through this forum, someone has also made 'Spot' the pig :)

    Phil the Pig is for spare change, Cash Cow is for backup LOL


    Brilliant - think I might have a go at making some as Xmas pressies. We have loads of newspaper lying around that usually goes off to the recycling! :D

    i did ask about a week ago if you would mind me joining in this great money saving idea. I'd LOVE an official number, that way I would be encouraged to continue the savings, so could someone tell me how to get my name on that list of savers please :)

    hi poppett
    Mumzy, who is organising this hasn;t been on for a couple of days as she's been ordered to rest because of her pregnancy. No doubt she'll pick it up when she's feeling up to it.

    Mumzy - hope you are OK?
