    I found a mates daughter who had a baby and begged her baby food jars off her

    also potted meat paste bowls as well, the white glass ones

    or just cheapo shot glasses are fine as well,

    i got 12 for £1.99 recently

    my mate uses all her odd saucers and looks round the car boots for things to use
