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.
Hi there, I used an old plant pot shape ice cream tub which I cut a slot in the lid and taped around the seal. Other wise ebay have some v.cheap money boxes. I bought 1 for 99p for my other challege as I fancied a proper money box and of course I didn't have one because I've been too busy spending over saving in the last 20yrs. It has a v.strong seal which I can't undo, luckily!!:rotfl:final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
