    OK - Update time
    We emailed Tesco customer services again - a woman phoned back within 10 minutes - extremely apologetic - knew about it already - was shocked that the trolley had not been collected yet..
    She blames the "collection company" !!
    This was Tuesday - it is still on our property
    Place your bets as to when it will disappear..
    TODAY
    TOMORROW
    FRIDAY
    MONDAY
    NEVER

    Finally - they came to collect the trolley on Thursday
    It was collected by "trolleywise"
    The chap who collected it said nothing
    But it has gone - after 13 days....

    Tesco dont charge you for parking in their car parks after a set period of time though nor for parking in a disabled bay.

    3 hour limit in our Tesco car park - £70 if you overstay.

    If it's one of those smaller trolleys then they make great student barbeques.

    I second that idea. It works too!

    The garden will be looking so empty now. I bet you became attached to it by the end.

    Our life is as empty as the space vacated by Tina on Thursday - I say "vacated by..." I mean cruely removed from our lives.....

    Yes - we did become extremely attached to her by the end
    I looked out of the window every morning to check that she was still with us - no more !!
