    Included Pandapaws at number 136. Is there a cut off point for starting this challenge or is it as long as everyone opens and counts their savings on 1st December 2008?

    I think there should be a cut off point. If the challenge is to keep pots sealed until December 1st 2008 then I'd say no more entries after 31st December, which means they'll only have 11 months, and the challenge is NOT to open the pots & count the money LOL Please don't ban bank weighing, I like seeing Phil the Pig's weight gain as it's the only way I know if anyone else has dropped a few pence into him LOL

    Forgive me Mumzy for I have been thinking sinful thoughts.

    I need a slap on the wrist because I have almost given into the temptation of counting the money in my demi-john!

    I need some aversion therapy so I hold out my hand ready.

    Is anyone else as nosey as me?
