I know many of you don't get test strips so may not know what I'm talking about - but these are solid little plastic pots, about 100mm high and 45mm in diameter, with a hinged lid. They have a label on which is usually very easy to peel off, and when they are empty they sit there saying "Please find a use for me"! Much too good to throw away!
I don't know what I was thinking of with these measurement - must have picked up a scale rule! The true measurements of my Freestyle pots are 52mm x 25mm. Sorry!
If I'm going to be away for a night or two I put a day's pills in one and write the appropriate date on the lid with a fine marker pen. I put them in my handbag or my washbag - very useful!
Grazer uses them to put used lancets in while away - I do that sometimes too.
I save some up for my brother - he makes and flies model aircraft (I suppose it takes all sorts :roll: ) and finds them just the right size for small quantities of enamel paint, or mixed glue.
I make glass bead jewellery (I told you it takes all sorts :lol: ) and they are a handy size for small quantities of beads - good secure lids, too.
Failing all else, they're great on top of garden canes, now we don't have 35mm film pots any more, to stop you blinding yourself when you bend down between the plants, weeding.
Any more ideas?
