    Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?

    I would have paid it if I'd found the right one, but I found the best way to get what I wanted was to make my own.
  • Not sure if anyone can help me but I've been looking for a post box, I really don't want a card one though, want it to be metal or wooden, and definitely white. There was a post on here now long back about one but I don't think it was freestanding, it was one you fixed to the wall. I needed one to put on a table really. x x

    Might have been my thread you were thinking of?

    Although the box is sold as one to fix to your house, we just had it standing on a table and it was heavy enough that it was absolutely fine.

    The only complaint we had on the day (not really a complaint) was from the last few people to put cards in who struggled a bit. When we opened it, we had about 45 cards stuffed in there!

    I was just having a look on Etsy and giggling about the fact that someone is selling boxes like the OP on there for $100, I could do that in my sleep!

    Anyway, I found this, how sweet! It won't fit with my theme but I really wish it did!

    I think this is a great idea, especially if you have cards that contain money or vouchers.

    Just get some empty shoe boxes from Clarks or whatever and make your own.
