The Return of…

…The Shopping Trolley!

Decided to try a big shop with the trolley. Still didn’t get it quite right with light stuff in overflow bag.

Did okay with bus and steps at home without having to lift.

I have been getting deliveries or family bringing food mainly after my treatment days then trying to shop myself when feel a bit stronger but still unable to carry heavy which I’m not used to.

This is probably the first heavy big shop I’ve done myself in about 10 months.

I couldn’t have carried what I got today but the trolley did the work. AND I get back from the bus stop quicker too.

Anxiety doesn’t help either but it’s a big achievement for today.

It is a bit of a faff shop trolley to scan back to shop trolley then take the time to pack after into my own shopping trolley. Maybe easier to pack into bags then put in trolley?

Tried Velcro to attach to shop trolley but wasn’t very successful, will try again as almost worked.

Remembered the ice creams in the front pocket when unpacking - which I had one with my morning coffee.

I can’t remember getting this anxious about shopping when I used to use Mum’s shopping trolley occasionally. I know I just don’t like shopping but think sometimes my anxiety has just got a whole load worse!
