Trying to carry things is an absolute nightmare. Previously my wonderful dedicated wife would do it all. This would mostly be the usual run of the mill stuff-cups of tea, plates of food and glasses of wine etc. Now we have a young daughter (4 months), the dynamics have changed somewhat. It seems impossible to find a really smooth running trolley or something that can be pushed without spilling everything. Am I to be left within sight of replenishment but without the means of actually retrieving it? (See Greek myth Tantallus!)
I’m lucky that I can still carry one thing at a time… makes for a lot of walking back and forth though. Sometimes going to bed feels like moving house. Can’t think why but I seem to have to transport a huge amount of stuff into bedroom!
If cups of tea etc are spilling on trolley, use big mugs and only half fill with tea… same with wine.
Hi Steve, occupational health gave me a lovely little trolley with two shelves on it, which is really light and has a lip around the shelf in case of spills. You could always leave the spoon in your fave cup, it does help to stop it slopping over the edge.
I’ve just seen the football-it’s a wonder my mug wasn’t thrown at the TV. At least getting knocked out of the FA cup gioves me the chance to focus on carrying drinks! I think a good trolley and some thought about the cup is the way ahead. Thanks for the ideas.
Why not try a thermos flask and your favourite mug carried in a basket/bag?
I too have problems carrying things - have a trolley but it doesn’t like our carpet very much - so have wondered if a ‘ice-cream’ tray as carried by the ushers in the pictures/shows would work!
Perhaps not as it would just make an even bigger mess when my foot decides to trip me up instead of behaving itself!!!
