    Oh, I have a shopping trolley as well - she's called Dolly :)

    She doesn't get out much as she's hessian and I don't want her to get dirty :D.

    How's LRC :kisses3:

    My shopping trolley doesn't have a name but it does have a floral chicken print :D

    Miss LRH is good - I had to chase her and Miss Gladys around the garden this morning because they wouldn't go back in the run :naughty:

    I just want to point out that I'm not a mad chicken woman :rotfl:

    You might be in denial about the Mad Chicken Woman thing you know.

    I have a shopping trolley that can be folded up to about a third of the size of a bag for life. It is wonderful and embarrasing at the same time :o

    I'm not a Mad Chicken Lady - there are no chicken ornaments in this house :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I do have some Emma Bridgewater speckled hen crockery (2 x side plates, cereal bowls, egg cups and mugs) but they were a gift :cool:

    Only 1 egg again today :( (Miss B)

    I don't have a shopping trolley... :-(

    I could however nick one of the kids' rolley cases.... Which would suit M0rrisons better, the bee or the penguin one?

    Oooh, MWC. That Nigel Slater stew is just what I'm looking for. Mr MM and I had a child free night (thanks Mum!) on Tuesday so went to a local hostelry where we had vouchers and used them towards our dinner. The meal I had planned that night called for mushrooms (but the mini-MMs wouldn't like it and they're back with us again) and now I need to use them up!

    Perfect for tomorrow evening. :D

    I hope that you like it. Mr MWC used pearl barley instead of spelt and says that he will add a little bit of thyme next time.
