I bought a shopping trolley..........

[HRHQueenOfQuelNoel]

does that make me an official mumsy mum??

I always swore I wouldn't thought they were for "old" people - but fed up of breaking my back and arms carry heavy bags of shopping in the cold from Morrisons so bought myself a nice little shopping trolley - its the flip-top one on this page - but it's in maroon/burgundy rather than that ghastly red.

Will my kids hate me for it when they're old enough to realise I'm dragging a shopping trolley behind me

How much are these trolly's/trollies/trollys [take your pick at the spellings]....
I couldn't find a price on your link..
feel free to ignore me if you think I'm being nosy.. and no I haven't changed my mind about them either

My mom has just brought a lightweight one from M&S and it's really not that bad. Black and folds up into a hand bag type thing.

I got mine in a local hardware shop - family run place which I love shopping in so many lovely kitchen and 'home' things.

The ones in Argos start from £9.99 - the one in Argos most similar to mine here is £14.99 - but mine cost me £19.99 (and it was worth it not to have the 'check' pattern )

Mine's different to the one on the link, but cost £10.

Only a few more weeks and I can use the buggy instead. Maybe I could sell it - anyone interested?

lol at paying to avoid check pattern.
A wise move QoQ!!

oh - and mines got a lovely 'padded' handle so more comfortable to push - and the wheels look sturdier on the (many) checked Argos trollies I've seen in town.

Just to make it clear, mine may be cheap, but is NOT checked, either (plain green).

there's one in Argos for £10 too - but it's TINY - only really any good if you're 89 and live on your own

anyhow - off to look after the old dears (well most of them are ) at work now.

Don't worry Jas-we won't see your name in 10 years' time and think 'Hmmm,there is that loser with the checked trolley posting again.'

I have seen Marsy's cow print trolley. It is cool. Can she carry it off though as the mad woman pushing a Marco Sky AND a cow-print trolley at the same time?

You'd fit in in Spain. everyones got one, except me and they are souped up!

Spacedonkey had one at least a year ago - very funky one. She posted a link and the one she has comes in a range of bright colours. I was sorely tempted.

i refuse to give up my pushchair. will have to get one of these realistic dolls to put into it when doing a big shop.
and all those trolleys are oap imo

Rosler are the trendy ones -
hippy one
Spacedonkey's trolley saga was vvvv funny.

can anyone provide me with a link to Rolster? Can't find owt on google. Not that I want a shopping trolley....honest....er....

lol stitch I was going to suggest the same thing - even if someone noticed you were pushing a doll it would be less embarrasing than the dreaded trolley

Oh we've done this one before and they ARE trendy!! I saw some Orla Keily (sp?) ones in Fenwick on Bond St just before Xmas. They are a godsend so ner!

sickofturkeymoonfiend, it is ROLSER not Rostler.
Rolser

A granny trolley?

Ah bit to hasty, just seen the links.....I actually like the psychodelic one from rolser is it.

I'm deffo having one - I'm cool enough (or eccentric) to get away with it! (we don't live in London so I probably will get my head kicked in by someone)
I'm getting one for all the reasons mentioned by others - I walk, I miss the buggy dreadfully, and guess who has to carry everything when we go on a picnic or outing . I was telling my mates I was going to find a plain black one and customise it - but couldn't find anything that wasn't (shudder) checked! Rock and Rolser!!!

Mine's a purple Rolser, a good few years old now, there's much nicer ones around but I like mine still.
