Want to soak my feet in hot water

My feet ache after walking so would like to soak them in a bucket/dish. Naturally the normal buckets/dish are round and i am looking for a square one. Had a look at argos and they do a foot spa for £29+. Don't need the spa or the heater. Is there anywhere i can get a simple square bucket/dish to cater for my size 11 aching feet??
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D

    My washing -up bowl is the sort of square/oblong shape, from home bargains (can't remember the price but would have been very reasonable!) wilko's will also sell them, i think asda do, agree spending £29+ isn't needed, just warm water (you can add oats to soften your skin) stick your feet in and relax!

    Sounds amusing but an uncle of mine had the same problem and wouldn't find a square bowl so he went to pets at home and bought a deep cat litter tray. Worked a treat.

    Actually, just had a quick ebay search for square washing bowl and a load came up. No idea of they'd be long enough though.

    Our rectangular washing up bowl (from B&Q) would be just about the right size for feet.
