Not clicking, but I'm not fussed about how much he had in his jar.

Both of which he forewent while a bunch of coins sat in a jar, until he had to take them all out and lug them to the bank.

Yes, I did get three figures of pounds but it took several years until I got round to bagging them all up - and found some 20p coins. You don't miss those small value coins in your purse but the result........

Anyone know if the Main site is hosted on a different server to these forums?

I ask because I have to avoid the main site as it just loads ( say, half a page) then locks up my iPad. I have no problems with the forum or cheapenergyclub, just the main site.

Why on earth are you asking this question in a thread about piggy banks?

I guess he was just enquiring if the forum piggybacks on the main site
