Very good tattycath...
But no... It would be impossible for us to recommend where MikeD can purchase one of these shopping trolleys.
We are much, much too young to know where to even begin a search for such a product

Yes, I know what you mean. I've heard of a company called saga? or something similar maybe Mike is familiar with them already, other than that us young 'uns can't even begin to imagine where one could be obtained!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Updating for this week - so far....

Have spent £5.75 on top-up bread & milk and £81.03 on my Tesco delivery (with the £13 off code I found on MSE:money: )

Total spend therefore: £86.78 but next weeks' budget doesn't start until Wednesday - however, may only need to get some milk before then, so am doing ok so far.......:rotfl:

Will update signature when I know all of this week's spending!

This week's total is: £89.56 - spent £2.78 on topping up milk supplies but that was it!!!

Total remaining for December £222.00

nopot2pin sorry to hear about you being 'plastered' for Christmas, I hope it doesn't cause too many problems for you.

Still not spending on food, miracle really, I've been in several shops, walked round and not bought anything, even resisted yellow stickered things, scaring myself as I'm not usually so 'good' when it comes to shopping.

Hope everyone else is still doing well, so tempting with all the Christmas goodies available.

Penny-Pincher!!

Hi Guys!

My GC started yesterday for December working on a 4 week basis as usual. Today we have spent £4.66 and thats it for now. I have £300 but that includes diesel. I moved over £40 to the "excess" account yesteday which was what was left but the car still has half a tank and we have loads of food in:D

I have booked a shopping slot for the 21st December as that was the nearest date to Xmas I could get. Managed to find a £10 off voucher too:j :j :j :j ...will go in and amend accordingly

PP

**Asks PP nicely if she could PM the £10 off code as she still hasn't booked the Xmas shop *

And I dont think I am old enough for one of those little tartan shopping trolleys yet....... ~~this sentence is a note for you mikeD:rotfl: ~~

Well nopot, I was going to sympathise with you about your poor hand (walks off in a huff :eek:).

Returns - But I expect you will be brave and carry on regardless . If it were a bloke he'd probably be lying on the sofa crying for his Mummy.

Tattycath, Jacks et al, have been working on a few ripostes to your windups but have to check with my lawyer first :rotfl:

Delivery came in from Mr T just now, came to £73 after all discounts :j.

Gotta go now cos if I don't come down to lunch on time nursey will hit me over the head with a Tartan Trolly (she's Scottish yer know)

Mike - never mind the lawyers....we need you to stick up for us oldies!

:wave: Coming back from the shops today with bags cutting into my freezing cold fingers I kind of yearned for a tartan trolley. :rotfl:

Ok maybe not a Tartan one....:D

And to be honest if it could be arranged for that chocolate ad hunk, Michael Buble or Sean From X Factor to carry my shopping home for me that would be even better!

IS it my age - or is it the time of year or something?

I feel like I'm definitely "Oh Young MAN!" much more than I used to be. I'll have to buy a mac!

Love Jacks xxx
