Can anyone direct me to a lidded bucket! 

 

I thought I'd find a nappy bucket quite easily but of course most people use disposables these days.

I got mine in a hardware store, but like a lot of these places it's closed down now.  Try somewhere like Mothercare.

We have scoured holyhead today for a lidded bucket, got something but it's not ideal. not even the baby shops have lidded buckets anymore. a sign of the times perhaps?
can't wait for our holls on friday.

Why not try a tack shop where they sell saddles, feed etc, they sell them for about £2.99 and come in a variety of colours. that is where i got mine from and it is silver with glitter in. lol

Buy a 10 ltr bucket of cheap emulsion from B&Q, paint the hall, stairs and landing, wash out the bucket, scour the transfers off the outside, and hey presto! a wee-bucket with a lid.

Did for me anyway (but the daughter did the painting).
