    Any idea where I can get a suitable sealed pot to use. I saw some terramundi pots on Saturday but they were a bit expensive especialy when I have to smash it in a years time.

    I'm sure someone mentioned some shops that sell a similar thing but can't find where.

    Thanks

    Some pound shops sell them, i got a large one from woolies holds upto £500 in £1 and £2 coins cost me £2. Its one you open with a tin opener. Also some card shops sell them too, my mum was jammy and picked one up in our local charity shop for 20p.
    Hope that helps

    I got my tin from Poundland but it's only a fairly small one... however my OH got his from a discount shop called B&M that appears to have sprung up in our local retail park. It's like a Home Bargains type shop and they have big tins for £1.99 :)

    Hiya Emma,
    If you have one near to you, try B & M's or Wilkinsons or Poundland, they usually have saving tins. Or you could attempt to make a papier mache pig (you'll have to go back to the start of this thread to get the instructions).
