My guess is someone doesn't like Battenburg!

5thnonblonde · 10/03/2022 22:37

What’s 3 tins?!

ThePug · 10/03/2022 22:37

No no, surely it relates to the adjacent Large choc and Large Vict (oria sponge) - they want actual cakes not batter aka packet mixes?

Davros · 10/03/2022 22:37

I think it says "not bott", I.e. cans

Davros · 10/03/2022 22:38

"Cokes not bott"

Marvel23 · 10/03/2022 22:39

I though it said not both. It lists large chocolate and large victoria but they dont want both?

StillRock81 · 10/03/2022 22:39

Read it as 'not battenberg'

imthesame · 10/03/2022 22:40

cakes
not both

either a large victoria sandwich or chocolate

Northernlurker · 10/03/2022 22:40

Ah yes cokes!

And two large cakes

These are my people

I loved the specific toilet RIM cleaner

Just the rim you note

I don't know what three cans can be, not toms or beans as that's separate

Bloc ice? .

imthesame · 10/03/2022 22:43

bloo loo ?

3 cans - of beer?

SirVixofVixHall · 10/03/2022 22:43

Bloc ice is surely a block of ice cream ?

Leobynature · 10/03/2022 22:44

I’m trying to put a meal together…. So far they are having beans and Cheese with something in a can. Afters is chocolate Mars? And cakes with a larger Victorian (person perhaps).

Squiff70 · 10/03/2022 22:44

I found a shopping list in a trolley which said "wine and shit to eat with wine". My soul mate is out there somewhere.

BronwenFrideswide · 10/03/2022 22:45

That is a marvellously random list.

imthesame · 10/03/2022 22:46

The bloo loo, rim cleaner and bathroom cleaner are separated from the main list. Maybe for after eating the large cake, 3 beers and MARS.

BusinessMindThoughts · 10/03/2022 22:46

marge and MARG? Or is the second one 'Mars'? Looks like the 's' of
'Slices' so I guess Mars...

WeAreTheHeroes · 10/03/2022 22:48

They've got marg down twice with two different spellings. In fact it looks as though it could be two different lots of handwriting.

Northernlurker · 10/03/2022 22:55

I thought the second was MARS

And cake

And cans

Truly my people

I think they are having a party - everyone knows you scrub the loo and bathroom before hand. It must be nice for guests / I put in the nice towel and soap too.

AmoozedBooze · 10/03/2022 23:07

I think thepug is correct. They want a large choc and a large victoria ready made cakes not cake batt(er mix)

DuggeeHugPlease · 10/03/2022 23:16

I realised recently that I dropped my shopping list in the supermarket and wondered if anyone would pore over it like this.
For what it's worth it listed out nappies, wipes, lunchbox snacks, calpol, fruit etc etc and then in bold letters underlined and circled WINE. I think that list told a story about how my week was going!

FavouritePi · 10/03/2022 23:22

Large choc & Vict (Victoria) cakes - not Battenberg

3 cans, either cases or cans of beer/cider?

Not sure what Mars refers to (apart from chocolate) or the word under beans?

Blue loo

Sounds like they're having a party.

Northernlurker · 10/03/2022 23:23

They are buying tea and coffee.....could be a tea party.

And is cheese slices actually CHERRY slices?

Gardeningcreature · 10/03/2022 23:30

I thought it said not both cakes.
I also read it as marg as in margarine but it could be Mars.
They are quite clearly cleaning the bathroom too.

Gardeningcreature · 10/03/2022 23:32
