do you ever find left over notes in shopping torlleys or elsewhere? i

Had a dream last night that I was a Brian Potter-esque social secretary and had booked Brendi & Linda who died on their feet and I was relying on Custard & Creame to rescue the situation and they were singing over their backing track, I say singing, I mean bellowing and (I forget the song) their soaring crescendo and flashing disco lights morphed into DS's monitor with him screaming that he wanted up, all lights lit. At 5.55am, the monkey. Weird, non?

No lists in the store today. Nada. Zip.

With all that exercise???

maybe they are on a diet?

Would have teacakes and fondant fancies on list for indoor bowls

Just a tad cold. maybe its for the indoor bowls team?

Cricket teas? Misdee mustve been in the Southern hemisphere when she stumbled across her list, lol!

Bit cold for cricket teas in Herts atm!

think the bread order is for cricket teas or summat similar

LOL BITBBH!

Is this still going! OMG and i thought the Sausage roll thread was random!

ooh ooh it's Whisper tomorrow - I love them. We had them for my Auntie's 40th anniversary.

Do you think that Elvis Night and Jazz Night are brothers?

There's an awful lot of "talent" with two christian names here - is that what you have to do when you take a stage name? Myra Terry, Mark Derek, David Wayne. Or is the Myra Terry Duo a couple - Myra & Terry?

You sure Boveral and Brendi & Linda aren't from the other side of the paper - April's highlights: Saturday 8th: Boveral (a trio of beefy blokes who sing like angels) Friday 14th Brendi & Linda (Psychic dog evening) Sunday 23rd Starri Night (the boys' little sister) Saturday 29th Custard & Creame (proper songs sung by proper singers, not the muck that passes for music these days)

No secret messages - you found a diamond in the rough my dear.

Flextronics is the company who send out all Apple computer orders to the UK. The lister is obviously a DELIGHTFUL person who has their lives sorted, a great sex life, many friends and a really good reason for having 4 loaves of salad sarnies (75% white bread)

oh oh i have one, well mieow picked it up last week and its been in my coat pocket ever since.

its written in capital letters and is ripped from a business letter..

BREAD 1B (brown??) 3W (white?)
SALAD
TOMS

on the back is an address for flextronics international in Co Clare, Ireland.

this was found in hertfordshire lol.

i mean why write a list for such a small amoutn of items? where they worried they'd get the number of brown loaves wrong, or forget the white all together? what sort of salad are they having?

Do you reckon they're onto us as I couldn't find any today? -in fact I've never seen supermarket trolley parks look as tidy as they have done of late

Went to Markses and not a sausage. Well there were sausages - loads of them, some looked really nice, but as I'm still poorly, I'm on a reduced diet, so I left them behind. But anyway, no notes. I'm ploughing a barren furrow round here, hence the madness elsewhere. Sorry.

I lost a fiver in Waitrose just after Christmas - but I bet it wasn't the same one - mine was a Northern Irish note, monopoly money.

Found a five pound note in trolley in Waitrose the other day, yippee!

hey, be careful out there kids. like mr stevens says, its a wild world and these supermarket carparks, well, theyre hives of dodgy activity.
mostly from slightly doolally MNers leaving and picking up notes from each other in a collar up on your trenchcoat kind of way, of course.
will go and plant one or two of my own later. summink to do, innit?

I just tried NG, but I think I've proved I'm not as funny as I generally give myself credit for

I'm off to Marksies to find some gilt-edged lists. Laters

NG -glad you've bumped this thread as I'm about to nip out to get some bits and pieces so its reminded me to shiftily trawl the trolley park again. ( I'm sure they keep a special eye on me as it is )

awww, bear, glad to hear youre feeling better.

now, can you please start some other innane and witty thread to keep me amused please?? or spice this one up again, not bothered which. this madness is keeping the baby blues at bay you see, and thereby saving the NHS the cost of treating me for PND and my children from a boring weeping mess of a mother

threat not thread

you make me larf
i call adn you come - it smagic folks

the other thread to efficient list retrival is the per son who pushes their trolley in sucha way that to get one you have to sort of swirve them adn make an obvious bee line for an empty trolley

I've been ill. Really quite ill. Not man ill, but really actually ill. None of us have been well in the den for a month now, but I got it bad and that ain't good. Now the ABs have kicked in I'm at least able to speak and swallow again. I have lost all my Christmas blubber, mind. Try the tonsilitis diet, ladies - hallucinations likely, having to sleep in another room definite, but you do lose weight. At the start of the week I didn't even turn on the Powerbook - how sad is that - so I missed the "don't look at me, I'm shy"-fest. Anyway, enough about me. I'm touched by your concern.

I did venture out to the store y/day as we were out of milk and nappies (never before happened, as I usually run a very tight ship) and saw the assistant manager going along the line of torlleys pulling dead lists out of the little list clips, scrumpling them up and taking them into the shop with him. How am I supposed to keep my end up if he keeps doing that. I almost stopped him to remonstrate or at least ask for the ones he'd got, but realised I was still too weak for that kind of confrontation. Carrying home Nappies (P), Milk x 3, Dinner and Pears (ripe) via the chemist nearly did for me - haven't eaten since the weekend, see (physically couldn't for the first half of the week). But things are looking up and I'm sure I'll be back at my listing weight soon.

Those can't be lottery nos as they're virtually identical - they must be scrambled coordinates. Mmm, interesting.

Did like littlerach's list from last Friday and Soupy's list the same day - what a health freak.

Fedup's a right laugh isn't she?

keep on looking - the truth is out there

Bear?

wheres bear?
