    My lidl's trolley arrived by post on Saturday...

    ..courtesy of a good friend :)


    So I took it for a test drive today. It was a bit noisy when empty on the rough tarmac bits of my village pavements, but quiet enough on smoother ones and quieter still when loaded. It did curbs well empty or loaded - but I learned that you have to go off curbs square or the thing can twist.

    Anyway, because of it I was able to take advantage of some offers in my local co-op that I simply would not have been able to carry home over and above my planned shop because it would all have been far too heavy.

    So I got six tins of Heinz beans for the price of four, and two packs of stewing beef marked down by 99p each. Between them that's not far from half the cost of the trolley itself.

    I should have done this ages ago!


    :T Good one Squeaky :T

    And great stuff Squeaky's good friend :A That looks like a fantastic trolley

    I went into town to meet DS and he asked me where my trolley was? I said I thought he'd disown me if I turned up with my trolley and he smiled and said "good point".

    Next time though ;)

    ARGGGHHHHH. I feel the icy fingers of trollyenvy wrapping themselves around me. I refuse to be drawn in and enticed by the jaunty coloured nylon shells and cheeky gussetted side pockets.

    Hmmmm, would be quite handy tho. And I have a Lidl in walking distance.

    NOOOOOOOOO I will be strong.

    Yours looks great BTW Squeaky!

    Is it possible to selotape a football card to the chasis so it pokes through the spokes of the wheel and therfore give the life like impression of a motorbike when in motion? I rememeber doing this with my chopper (no jokes please:p ) in the 70's. If it is I may be even more tempted.
