    Piggy is getting more unreliable by the day I am afraid. Have you both joined Racecaller via Pigsback ? It was 100 point sign up, then for every horse that you pick that wins 10 piggy points. These get added early the following month. If you look on the Pigsback thread, you will see tips posted daily for the horse to back. You only play with points that Racecaller gives you, there is no hard cash involved.

    you really did buy at the right time, thank godness, i think you have the best attitude:D and that is how we are trying to live now.:o :o

  • Morning all,

    I dont think i will get much money making or saving done today.

    My eldest if off school, had a poorly tummy, although my youngest is enjoying having her biggest sis to play with.:o

    bit of a funny morning really, we i took middle daughter to school, we found out that one of the mothers of a girl in my eldests class died on thursday from a brain hermoridge,

    the teachers told all the children on friday, but didn't bother to tell the parents and bearing in mind this is a primary school i think they should have told us.

    I didn't the lady well, only to say hi to, but it shakes you to hear of something like that, just out of blue no warning or anything.

    when i got home i spoke to my daughter and i think this is part of the reason she didn't want to go to school, these things are hard for us to understand never mind a bunch of 6 year olds.

    its made me think, am i wasting my time doing all this when i should be doing other things,

    on the other hand, i want to do all i can to make as much money as poss and give them a great time on holiday, as you just never know.

    its the same old story trying to find the right balance for each and every one of us.
