    While we are drinking our tea perhaps we could ponder how I am going to pick up 12 packs of toilet rolls from Robert Dyas C&C and get them back to the car with the 12 packs of liners I have ordered :o

    Or a long piece of rope and fashion the toilet rolls into an onion-esque necklace?:rotfl:

    ummm


    well on sunday I have a 10min walk from parking till I reach DS apartment for my baby sitting..

    Bag 1 - huge bag with birthday pressies for the 2 year old gs including a big playmobile box as other goodies

    Bag 2 - small cool bag containing rtc fruit, which was inside a larger bag with bags of crisps

    Bag 3 - I now carry a carrier bag with my personal things in and change of clothes as its easier than a trolley case

    2 large packets of pampers with handles

    Bag 4 - not a handbag as such but a bag with my phones, laptop and chargers as well as purse and oyster card and car keys.

    Bag 5 - after stopping in at S I bought 6 tuk tuk drinks for cash back

    I felt like a proper bag lady...

    managed to carry all with no problem using the gs spare buggy that's always in my car

    :):)


    can you use baby tinys buggy before hes wanting to use it ??

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Necklace idea definitely out as it might be raining and I would end up with a soggy mess. As I might do with the puppies. :eek:

    I like the sled idea. But it's one of those things I don't actually have stashed so would negate any savings if I went out and bought one.

    I was thinking rucksack for the liners. And then IKEA bag for the loo rolls but then remembered DD2 has my one and only IKEA bag at hers with spare single bedding in...

    Back to the drawing board. ;)

    Buggy is in Surrey so that's a no go.

    That's an awful lot of bags you have to carry there, I can't be doing with that would hurt my tiny hands. :eek:
