I found a shopping list! It’s a good one- with something to solve!

[Kenworthington]

come on then, what’s she/he sorry about???

There's no mystery.

Apart from why the writer is sorry.

I assumed she was sorry because the lost of things she has is so short

they need to apologise for their appalling behaviour at the butchers counter in Waitrose last week...

Who writes what they already have on a shopping list?

Am sure there is a cooked meat supplier round here (north) that is called Havenhands. Maybe the Have is short for Havenhands and the writer is sorry they have to go there because they went yesterday, or its a bit of a walk or they just don't like going for some reason.

Maybe the shopper has to go to a different shop to get the Ham and Salami 🤔

Who writes what they already have on a shopping list?

Yes, is as much a handover as a shopping list I think.
So the colleague or co volunteer will already have some of this info? Someone said church lunch, and that seems about right somehow.

Either apologising because the person being sent to buy it is vegetarian/vegan or, the converse, they previously expressed a hope for sirloin steak or tender lamb shank but the list-writer has realised that the meat budget will only stretch to ham and salami.

It’s a commercial order and originally they had ordered those items but no longer need them.

I think the left hand heading is ‘Home’.

Where did you find it, OP? That might put a different spin on things.

I think it's a shopping list for someone else to get, there had been a debate about buying ham and salami in whereby the shopper said they wouldn't need to buy more as there was plenty in already but the writer has insisted they did need it buying... but subsequently found it lurking.

Therefore writer is definitely clarifying to the shopper that no salami and ham is required. And apologising for the obvious debate about it that took place. The writer clearly now has egg on her face

Left hand column definitely says HAVE (not "Home" as a PP said).

It's Samantha Cameron sending CallMeDave out on an errand.

Alluding to pork-based products tends to provoke a strop.

Who writes what they already have on a shopping list?

Me. I go through the fridge and veg box and write what perishables we have and then, as a PP said, meal plan round it. So I always have multiple lists on one piece of paper: Got, Meals, Supermarket, Town.

Alluding to pork-based products tends to provoke a strop

Who writes what they already have on a shopping list?

Me too. If I'm making something and I want to remember what I already have towards that meal. Otherwise I might buy stuff again just to be sure.
I don't trust my memory

No idea what the list is about though, it does look like catering for a party/gathering

Good to see they're butter fans

It's have and need. They are apologising in the have column because they dont have many things and the shopper is getting most of the items.

Myidentity but if that was the case it would make more sense to write Sorry!!!! at the end of the "Need" list than under the "Have" column. Even though the "Need" column doesn't have much space left, you still would write it there. It looks deliberately written under the "Have" column.

Ok I found it in a spare box at the garden centre, you know ones to put your plants in. That puts a new spin on it???

I actually said ooh exciting and dh said ‘ooh is it a shopping list?!’

Hmm so the shopper had time to go to the garden centre, so surely not an urgent list for a cafe/sandwich shop? 🤔

Based on the original shopping list thread, are they sorry that it's not 'naice' ham they're after?
