a trolley dolly is one of those bags on wheels (the type older people are known for using ) i think it is anyway. i have heard them being called this. not really sure how to explain them properly tho.

Nice one jcr, do you mean something like the ones in this thread?
Chic Shoppers. If so, welcome to the club and enjoy having shorter arms, comfortable hands and a straight back

What kind did you get?

As a newbie I'm very excited to have discovered that my family weren't simpy rolling their eyes when I chatted MSE and OS but were mentally writing present lists.

I got:
a blender
a slow cooker
a massive soup pan
a set of knives
a chopping board
2 cook books and
a years worth of toiletries which means I don't need to go spending!

I brought my parents and my sister and her partner thrifty ways and they all sat reading yesterday.

Today my parents have been checking out their store cupboard and I think my dad has been reading up about breadmakers on the internet! Yay! They've been converted! :T

I got 3 M&S Cookery books - a stirfry one, a "quick and easy" one and a chocolate one :drool:

some lovely recipe ideas and also moneysaving if you plan for them and don't buy all your ingredients from M&S Foodhall as recommended :rolleyes:

Also got a "stockpot" which is no bigger than my existing pans so will be swapping that for either a larger one or a slow cooker... (i know which i'd prefer...)

And got Thrifty Ways which I have almost finished

I guess all the luxury smellies are moneysaving if not OS as it means that I don't have to buy any for the next 365days

Hi Lucky

TP is Terry Pratchett - author of the Discworld series of novels.

Nanny Ogg is one of the characters with her own cookbook relative to some of the stories in the series.

I have just finished watching The Hogfather (which was on sky 1 on Christmas day and today) - 4 hours long and brilliant!!! First TP novel to be made into a real people film. Hope they do more!
