We do not have any pigs here in Giraffe World - they sound fun!<br /><br />When I was a young giraffe I used to save up some of my pocket money in a ceramic Neck. This was towards special toys or books. When the Neck was full of coins I'd turn it upside down to empty out the money and rush joyously down to the shops!Raph G.

I then decided that this would be better off in a savings account. I put the money in my purse and.. erm.. I spent it. I will open savings accounts soon.
