As my daughter lifted a pack of chicken breasts, there it lay. Hidden.

We has a list the other day with Domestos and seeds on it.

I love how dramatic you made this thread sound OP 😂.

Phone 101 and 111 to log it.

The logging of it is particularly important in case it crops up again

Clearly a lot of newer posters 😂

Someone needs to explain, but I am off on the school run.

Are you wearing "the dress"? I don't do drop off anymore so the school run dress is not necessary 😂. Not sure of the current styles.

Shopping lists is old school Mumsnet!

3kidsaremorethanenough · 21/10/2024 16:45

Awww, this takes me back, the good old days of mumsnet

SassK · 21/10/2024 16:45

I have my shopping list on my phone, I'd've thought most people do that now?

This thread has triggered a memory of finding a shopping list on the bus once that was full of spelling mistakes (toillat roll and such like), my friends and I had a mega laugh at it (we were about 13 at the time though 😄). Wish I'd kept it now.

EggnogAnd · 21/10/2024 15:27

It's really not all that hilarious, though.

@EggnogAnd

I never said it was 😜😜

but it's not nice when you don't 'get' the in joke but no one bothers to clue you in.

Kangarude · 21/10/2024 16:46

Shopping list were indeed old school mumsnet but they were interesting or funny

Strawberry4Supermoon · 21/10/2024 16:19

Because the OP lives in Norfolk ...

Nothing wrong with Norfolk. I enjoy living here. Most of us are normal... 🤣

I can’t really fathom why it was something worth taking a picture of, let alone creating a thread and making three attempts to attach the picture.

If you're not part of an 'in' thing when it starts, it's often difficult to join in later on.

but it's ok, no one cares whether you 'fathom' it or not 🤷🏻‍♀️. People have tried to explsin
so they don't cause hurty feels, what more do you want them to do 🤷🏻‍♀️. Not start anything unless you are there??

I remember when we used to post shopping lists we had found. It was fun.
MN was a different place then.

Here here!

DickEmery · 21/10/2024 16:56

SocksShmocks · 21/10/2024 15:32

That seems like a pretty standard boring shopping list someone has lost in the supermarket?

Yes, that's right. Nothing to worry about.

SassK · 21/10/2024 16:58

I've found a couple of good ones online. Whether they're real or not... 😂

Damnloginpopup · 21/10/2024 15:52

Yeah. Too much build up. It's all in the finding rather than the content (for those here long enough to know) but in my defence it's Norfolk, Monday, and wintery. It's not really going to get any more interesting until May really.

😜😜😜😜😜

though I'm inland, rainy, chilly Monday, I'd rather be in Norfolk!!

EggnogAnd · 21/10/2024 15:46

Could people, for the love of god, try a bit harder? At least write random shit on your shopping list and leave it amid the chicken breasts.

Greek yoghurt
Brillo pads
glow in the dark condoms
handcuffs
Dog chews

Robert Popper (writer of Friday Night Dinner, as well as author of The Timewaster Letters) does exactly this. But better.

EdithStourton · 21/10/2024 17:00

In fairness to OP, she is in Norfolk.

JaneFondue · 21/10/2024 17:00

Been on MN ages but still don't understand this

rainbowstardrops · 21/10/2024 17:03

I've been here for years and never knew this was a thing!
Must say though that I love coming across someone else's list! The handwriting and abbreviations on some of these though is shocking!

@spookyscaryseagulls

no because I look like a table lamp in a dress!!

I've reached the heady heights of them coming to the car now, it's leggings all the way!! 😂😂

Thank you for sharing 😂

Normal for Norfolk? 😂

I read Chix as chia. Technically, you could top someone by feeding them dried chia seeds then a gallon of water, I suppose…
