pop's it's a one handled one. I find you a picture of it. I put the trolley in the shopping trolley, it's very light to lift up. http://www.shoppingtrolleysdirect.co.uk/prodimages/Hoppa_ST40_PlainBlack_01.jpg

Boudicca/ Boadicea? You could add knife blades to the wheels and freewheel downhill on your chariot screaming at the Romans.

Fuddle,
I'm thinking if I do buy one I may go for something like that rather than the box type...and long as I can walk a little...when not using my ruck sack

I'm looking at this one...

I was going to go out but can't be bothered...I'll wait until the weekend now...Its not as though I need anything, I think it's just you like a look out when you have been indoors in your own company all day...even though I like my own company...

Labelling stuff in the freezer is not my strong point either...but when I break down big bags into smaller portions, I bung all the small portions in a bigger bag, with the shop label with the dates and stuff cut off the main pack and tuck it into the bag IYSWIM?

I've spent all day cleaning/tidying :mad: not a happy bunny...will be doing it until late, and tomorrow too. Even ventured into the pit of doom that is DS's room, a HUGE load of washing came out, and numerous sticky glasses, and a whole bag of recycling :eek: but at least now the sofa origami is now as I like it (two matching bedspreads cunningly folded to look like I have an attractive sofa) and the living room smells of febreeze rather than dog.

I told DS I'd stand him a couple of posters for in his room. Rashly, OMG I had no idea how much they are now! Of course he wants something esoteric and non-mainstream (Japanese, Samuri, by well known 16C artist...) back to the drawing board on that one. He knows there are 101 things he needs more if I'm forking out hard cash...shame though, as I think if he 'owned' the room a bit more he might take more pride in it! Will have to get my thinking cap on, as I know the sort of things he likes...

This sort of thing Kate? Not a Samuri, but may be somewhere in Ebay?

Yes there are some .... Here

Loving "boudicca"!

We've had some heavy showers this evening but some utterly amazing rainbows to go with them....a couple of really pretty double rainbows too over the channel.

My eldests room has gone from the pit of despair to a very funky, interesting room lately. It needed decorating when we moved in but we didn't have the spare money so I told her she could do as she pleased with it until we got round to decorating it, it's now a shrine to the Beatles (she's obsessed with them), she's painted band logos, the Beatles portraits, anime characters etc all round (she's very talented and can paint anything so it looks good), her arty friends have all done little drawings, paintings or posters directly on the walls, she told them to keep it tasteful. She's got letters from friends pinned up, playing cards, you name it, if it's interesting, it's in there. I spend ages just reading her walls. It shows her individuality but it's proved to be a great incentive for her to keep it tidy as everyone wants to see her room when they come into the house.

I finished decorating my conservatory today and hung new blinds (each one ((8 in total)) needed cutting to size and all 6 cats tried to help.) it's lovely to have reclaimed a space and I'm sitting here with something classily mellow on the cd player, a glass of white and a few candles, our resident bat is swooping in the garden and just for a few minutes everything is lovely with the world.
