    I have a dilemna - Spot the pig has been eating money to keep it safe for our trip to USA a Christmas. Now the exchange rate is in freefall - so do I empty him now and buy $$$$$$$ or wait until December to buy $$$$ when it will probably have fallen more !!!!

    Surfbabe- We went to florida in may and the $ has come down so much since then :( If it was me I'd get them now before it drops even further.

  • So far I have two and half tins full. I am often tempted to get the tin opener out and have a count but have resisted. Looking forward to December 1st. Amazing what you can do if you join a group challenge.

    Hi everyone. Glad to see you back Molly and hope you had a lovely time away.

    Well, another £2.32 put into the pot yesterday and it feels SOOOO very heavy that I'm now really starting to get excited about opening it up come the 1st December.

    You're right about meeting the challenges on here girls, it certainly works fine for me.

    Hiya everyone,
    Been a bit hectic lately, too many bosses around to post, the challenge is going well from all the posts I've managed to catch up on To all the newcomers "welcome". Looking forward to the weekend, Stunty, I will be around Liverpool 1 with DW, she's itching to spend her Birthday money, (it's burning a hole in her purse lol). Hello to all the girls on the challenge, Molly, say hi to mumzy for me next time you're in contact.

    Take care everyone, have a good weekend

    Well I have just done major surgery on Spot the Pig - he contained £151 which I am going to use to buy dollars on Monday for our trip to USA at Christmas. I was getting concerned about the fall in £$ rate - it was $1.90 when I went last year - todays rate was $1.65 at the post office. All the loose change went back in so the £151 is on only the round amounts I could bag up. Hope to have another £30 or so on Dec 1st.!!!
