Anyone got a shopping trolley?

one of these I mean, I don't mean a supermarket trolley

Whilst wandering round the market this morning, it dawned on dp and I that this is exactly what we need to put the shopping in, therefore leaving two hands free for chasing after small children.

So am looking for one on-line and they all seem to be either really old-woman-ish, or really (I mean really) expensive.

Any recommendations?

That's nice, Kinder. The red one, not the brown patterened one. Bit pricey though.

Kindersurprise · 29/03/2008 15:10

ooh, look they even have a Business Troll

I like this one but couldn't justify the cost, even if I were to get the matching ironing board

I have one and it is superb and I am not an old lady

was in London with it the other day and 2 people stopped me and asked where I got it from

nice, young, normal people
not old ladies

fryalot · 29/03/2008 15:16

where did you get it from?

Where did you get it Franny?

LyraSilvertongue · 29/03/2008 15:20

Sorry, I'm repeating Squonk.

FrannyandZooey · 29/03/2008 15:21

oh a local luggage shop

it is very good, it was only £15 but gets heavy use and has lasted brilliantly

there are some decent priced Rolser ones if you look about

LyraSilvertongue · 29/03/2008 15:26

Why the sad face?

FrannyandZooey · 29/03/2008 15:30

because I can't tell you where you can get one near you
not much help saying 'oh I have this fab trolley but you can't get one'

fryalot · 29/03/2008 15:32

well, it is if you volunteer to buy one and have it shipped to me

that would be helpful

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 29/03/2008 15:33

no problem
I will charge a small service fee of £50

what's the matter, you want the trolley don't you?

fryalot · 29/03/2008 15:34

I can give you 37p and half an extra strong mint

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 29/03/2008 15:40

you had me up until the extra strong mint, tbh

fryalot · 29/03/2008 15:42

it's half because it broke, not because I have sucked half, if that makes a difference

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 29/03/2008 15:47

nope I have just gone off the whole idea now

VoluptuaGoodshag · 29/03/2008 15:49

Hi Squonk

Not been away just not on MN much recently.

VoluptuaGoodshag · 29/03/2008 15:51

Re the bags - I know some of those bags are very old womanish but I was meaning you all to look at the funkier ones. Tartan and navy blue are a tad old fashioned I agree wholeheartedly

fryalot · 29/03/2008 15:51

if I buy this one...

will dp still drag it around, or will all the work be left to me?

OP posts:
fryalot · 29/03/2008 15:52

voluptua - obviously, I missed you

OP posts:
LyraSilvertongue · 29/03/2008 15:57

I can guarantee your DP will not drag that around. It's nice though.

fryalot · 29/03/2008 16:00

mm... that was what I thought.

I may buy it anyway.

oh wow, I thought I was the only one with a secret hankering for a shopping trolley. Having a pram to hang shopping off has been just bloody wonderful - I hate carrying bags around now. Have even (seriously) considered taking the pram out shopping when DD's not with me .

Am off to investigate the links, could this be the start of a new addiction?

fryalot · 29/03/2008 17:27

I reckon it might be, pixel. I am hooked already

OP posts:
LyraSilvertongue · 29/03/2008 17:28

If we all get them, it will be normal and there'll be no shame
