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

[codnotamod]

i am vaguely intrigued by these as identified in teh times
"Discarded notes are rubbish to most people, but not for worldwide subscribers to Found, which reprints them. The magazine?s publisher, Davy Rothbart, gets bundles sent to his office in Michigan. Laura Kwerel, a radio producer in Washington, was ?overwhelmed? after reading one issue. ?I realise now,? she says, ?that there is more humanity in a discarded grocery list than in a thousand-page novel.? Some people need to get out more. "

Bear you are hilarious

And then there's the things that the person in front put aside at the checkout when they realised they didn't have enough money.

One sunday morning at local Tesco there were on the side next the the conveyor belt:

packet of condoms
KY jelly

so, what did the person who left them behind buy?

ohhhh i really really really want to go shopping now after reading this, have had such a laugh this evening at this and murdered pets thread. Will have to leave my list in a trolly usually catergorised by shops e.g. Lidl, Asda, Savers, Nice price etc etc so sad am I

I didn't find it in a shopping trolley....but.......it was on the ground out side my and we have an unspoken agreement around here that we pick up any large litter that we see.

I've not found any lists

I used to run a training room a long time ago and there was a book left which when I looked inside it, to see who it belonged to, saw that there was a draught copy of a break up letter, a real dear John. It was one of the trainers who worked there.

Was rather

Been to Asda three times today (don't ask long story) but failed to find any lists we must live in a really tidy neighbourhood

Hugs cabe will see if I can find a spare and hand it over at lunch tomorrow.

I got one! I got one! Stuffed in the toddler seat at Sainsbury...

ANd wait for it... it MUST be a MN-er beacause it's the cut-off strip from the left hand side of the 'Organised Mum's Life Organiser'...

How do I know? - because we have one ..

It must come from a frightfully organised household 'cos there are 3 different styles of handwriting on it - I'm betting DW/ DH and an au pair.... see what you think...?!

Viakal (au pair?)
Honey (Mum?)
Org. Straw Jam (Mum)
Light bulbs (60w) (DH)
Washing Poweder -Colour (Au pair!)
Easy up pants (Mum)
Sardines (DH)
AAA batteries - NOT own label (DH!)
Mini boxes Raisins (Mum)
Dettol spray (au pair)

Clearly a very organised bunch, with high expectations from the au pair!!!

went to tesco's today and i deliberatley left my shopping list in the trolley for someone to find. i never do this usually but was inspired by this thread.

ps, as a joke, i wrote 'mooncup' on it

found a list in sainsbury's today, typed in a girly font on A4 paper.

it said

bananas
apples
rasberries (if in?)
bag of salad

TURN LEFT

pots
green beans

chicken
coked ham

turn right

cakes

that was it!

wonderful.....

that's more like a dance than a list with all those turns.

Must say I like the thought of coked ham tho.

but would it be nice coked ham???

thanks Cod, you of course are the deus ex machina that started it all, holds it together and keeps it going

anyway, glad I'm not the only one obsessed here

I GOT THREE TODAY

haven't even read them yet - am saving that guilty pleasure until DS is napping and DD is having her downtime in front of Beebies

only then will I share, ooh the power

have had second thoughts about the ham -you'd just keep coming back for more to the exclusion of everything else and re niceness, it would think it was very nice, but it would just be really, really dull

hooray - I managed to find one at last -- had to do a very undignified pounce and scrabble in front of complete strangers to get it.

have to get ds2 now so will post later - bet you can hardly wait
