    Well [EMAIL="I@d"]I'd[/EMAIL] better start making a new Piggy ready for 2nd Dec. Hopefully I will hit my target this year of £200 =- got about £40 to go but not sure how much is in Spot. I was going to use Pete the Penguin but I don;t think he is balanced enough !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hope you all have a good day

    Greenbynature it's so good that you've been saving with us all that time. It's also great to see you'll have money for your DS's 21st. As to suggestions for a prezzie for him :think: ummmm ...how about a 20 year old girl!!!!! Bet he'd love one of them! :kisses2:
    Sue


    Hi Sue-UU Don't think my son's girlfriend would be impressed with the idea of a 20 year old girl :rotfl: :rotfl:
    And I will definitely be joining on the 2nd Dec! Can't wait to open my tin now as it's pretty heavy, on the side of the tin it says it holds £500 or more in £2s and £1s and that's what I've mostly been putting in and the odd £5 note here and there , don't think it'll contain £500 but will be happy with whatever's in there as it's money that I wouldn't have had
    Bye all

    I still have penny the penguin, so that's my next target if Phil the Pig doesn't survive his operation. :rotfl: I'll be glad if I meet my £100 and will certainly be taking part again next year, even though I hardly ever get the time to keep up with the chat in here. :o Life is just so challenging but at least it's making me feel richer! :rotfl:

    Can't believe it's nearly a year since we started this challenge and the best thing about it is the friends we've made along the way.:)
