Making a home-made secure money box

PabloNeruda

Right, I'm going to join the £2 coin savers club, as I figure this should go up quite quickly.
The thing is, what can I use to save them in? I want something that I literally have to break open before I can empty it. I won't trust myself with something I can easily access. Once it's in I want it to stay in!!! :rotfl:

Any ideas?

How about a biscuit tin, with the coin hole cut into the lid and the lid superglued on?

Completely off topic.

PabloNeruda - was just thinking about Pablo today. Thought I'd dig out a book and have a good read. Somehow I haven't come across your posts before.

Sorry - you can return to the topic now.

I am renowned for going off at tangents.

Though I have superglued the lid onto an old honey jar for mine (having cut a hole in the lid). I'll have to smash the jar to get into it. Only thing is - I'm keeping the coins out of circulation for everyone else (not that I have many - see below) I'm thinking about putting the equivalent in the bank and keeping a virtual tally.

I got a pigsback piggy for free. Then personalised it with a couple of stickers.

Get creative and blow up a balloon then make a papier mache one around it. Cut a slot in the top and hey presto :T

He was wonderful, wasn't he?

Ahem........

I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.

I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.

I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,

and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.


I'm welling up now.:kisses2:

how about getting one of those
spannish ? clay money pots
that only have a slot
and you have to smash
to get the cash ( it's all getting a bit poetic around here )
so the coins stay in safe and sound
and when it's full you have plenty of pound(s)

Heh heh. Very good. :T

That would be ideal, but it looks like I'll be opting for the superglue an biscuit tin solution.

Hi Pablo- looking forward to the "How do I get into a biscuit tin with the lid super-glued on?" thread :rotfl: Best wishes
