Saving up for Christmas

Piglets and smiley Originally uploaded by Jepster . I was in Toy Kingdom during the weekend and I spotted these nice piglet coin banks. They looked so cute that I impulsively decided to buy a pair. Here they are on top of the television set with my smiley stress ball. The stress ball was a gift from last Christmas. As you can see it still looks quite new.

Hehe. :) This was taken using a mobile phone so the image is a bit fuzzy.

She had a myocardial infarction but her body has long since been weakened by cancer.
