So, who wrote it? What were they prepping for? Any guesses as to the non U.K. Items? I have to admit to not recognising a couple of things. Anyone want to play??

Scotch fingers are shortbread biscuits.
Jiff is the same as Cif.
Uglies??

4th one down I read as 'vag lips'.
I now see it says 'Uglies' which I assume to be Ugly fruit?

Well, the BBQ shapes are the best kind so they clearly oughtn't be trusted with shopping! They are delicious baked snacks.

BBQ shapes are the only shapes they should be buying!

Uglies are monster shaped cookies and BBQ shapes are only good if it's the old recipe, the new one is vile!

Right, she's having a tea party and really hoping a rat doesn't appear in the kitchen. Also the liners and panadol indicate she's chosen a bad time for a tea party.

I thought it said fruit tins?

Uglies either the fruit or the little crappy toy thing. (Made by moose toys, same as shopkins originated in aus afaik)

100% fruit juice.

I think it's written by a mum, sorting a packed lunch for the week with fruit and apple juice, plus bribery with the Oreos.

She's just finished af hence the pantyliners and she has a hormonal stress headache too so put panadol on the list.

Scones are for a sneaky mum treat.

Rat stuff is for pest control. I'm presuming in the bathroom (don't know why) That's what the jiffs for Grin

(Does anyone else remember confused to be jiff? I still call it that)

Right, ok, just realised that uglies are those horrid monster snacks. But what are 100% fruit scones?

Really didn't read it as rat stuff. Eew.

Fruit Jews? Uglies? Rat stuff? Do they want to kill rats or do they keep pet ones? I'm so confused.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 13/03/2017 10:07

Shouldn't it be 'naice ham'?

I thought Rat Stuff was party stuff and they had just forgotten the 'y' at the end because they were writing quickly.
