Storage boxes

Sput · Fri 12 Feb, 2010 09.30

Good morning metropol. I always have a load of cardboard boxes taking up space in my flat for the day I will move out, and frankly they are ugly and flimsy. Can anyone recommend a source of CHEAP, fairly well sized and stackable storage boxes (ideally from a high street store) so I can solve this annoyance once and for all?

I got a load from Robert Dyass. I use them to store things neetly in the loft. Sturdy, solid and light-weight so might do the trick.

I saw some in Clas Ohlson t' other week and made a mental note myself for when I next move. Can't remember price though.

*EDIT: http://www.clasohlson.co.uk/Product/Pro ... =134389048 £8.99 for 5, not as cheap as I'd thought.

Awww we frequent the same places. I wonder if I've ever walked past you and absolutely failed to recognise you.

Like I do with family members.

You've walked past me and failed to recognise me.

But that's okay because I failed to recognise you too.

Then how...I...wha

Anyway I eventually got a set of 6 boxes for £15 from argos (which the site had failed to show me originally) and a pair of sturdy lid-including ones from staples, also for £15. IT IS BOX DAY.

I haven't walked past you for a while Neil. I keep walking past someone I think is you from a distance, but realise before I start waving.

We should all have Metropol crowns really. That'd clear things up.

Can I not have a sign round the neck or something. I struggle to get through doors as it is without adding to my height unnecessarily.

How about a stylish headband?
