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. "

Lists left in trolleys was an item on a morning show here in Oz the other day - it's spreading far and wide!!

KY warming jelly???
Well I guess it follows that you would warm up after using it

NO I think I've seen ads for some new stuff that actually warms up when you use it . Might actually be by Durex rather than KY. Haven't used it myself, or indeed seen it on sale (she says, backpedalling wildly) but sure I've seen an ad. Am at work so daren't Google for it .

Am at home so I did dare to google it
You were right it does exist
Didn't know tesco's sold it though

Glad it wasn't just a product of my fevered imagination .

perhaps it's a special anniversary....''we'll have summat nice for tea, break open the red wine, smear each other with hummous and then...cue the KY.''
Obviously baby wipes for 'mopping up'afterwards and the menthols for that post coital moment! Bless 'em, hope they have a ball!!

i saw someone pick out a random note from a trolley in m&s on tuesday..was tempted to go over and ask if she was a mumsnetter but i wussed out.

anyone want to confess it was them? it would be so great if it was...

Lube page??? Lube??? How gross is that? In the US you get your car oil changed in a lube bay - "The new facility opened for operation on April 13, 1990 as Jerry?s Chevron Fast Lube and offered two drive-through quick lube bays" here - imagine a KY-warming-jelly-drive-thru-quick-lube-bay - eurgh!

I TOOK A LIVE ONE!!! FROM SOMEONE"S TORLLEY, THAT WAS STILL IN USE!!!

AND WAS SEEN AND ACCOSTED BY ITS OWNER!!!!!

just kidding - I've been tempted, but I'm not stupid.

I did home in on a lone torlley in the middle of the car park which may have looked odd, because it had what looked like a huge list clipped to it. But it turned out to be pretty ropey - all that danger for so little reward.

An A4 sheet (back of a letter with the owner's name on it - thank goodness I don't know her) torn in two and folded in half again. Three different lists on three of the quarters:

med
globe? - struck through
pringles
rolls/'butter'
'lettuce', toms (colour?), cre, aly... - this is a new language
creme fraiche? for pasta? - very indecisive
Quiche? for Carol £3-4 for Carol - Carol likes quiche, at that price I should coco
me-ham or " or both - eh? But at least the ham is there, no sign of how nice tho

then there's a sub list in the bottom corner which is scribbled out:

pasta
tuna
from frais
ketchup
woman see - means nothing to me
mayo

tin peas
shreddies
C beef
Multi surface cleaner
E. Jams
'Butter'
rolls for Wed

• Toms Lettuce/leaves etc - we've all been there, just get stuff Creme fraiche/from fraise - it rears it's creamy head, again Sausages - Love it, all esoteric, then processed pork product

Black felt tip
fuse wire
paracetamol

this last list worries me slightly, what's going down here?

Anyway not going back to the store until tomorrow, fingers crossed for better pickings

I thought I was about to meet a mumsnetter in M&S yesterday. I realised I had lost my list and was having a quick look for it when I spotted a woman bending over and picking up a piece of paper off the floor. I was convinced she was going to start grinning madly and slip it in her pocket - but no she smiled sweetly at me and said 'I saw you drop your list - here you are!'

Sadly, I did not find a list myself.

I have sent dh to the supermarket carrying a list with instructions to leave it in the basket....

.

Thanks. Right, I haven't read the thread so I am not sure what I do. Just copy it out? Handwriting isn't very good. OK, what do you make of this?

ENCONA (?)
Water
Thia (sic) sweet chilli sauce
Black pepper coarse ground SCHWARTZ
Soups
Gravy
Dental floss Green Satin one (?)
Jalapinos/Sour cream

That is it in its entirety.

green satin dental floss?
weird wheres bear?

HOORAY! After what seems like weeks of furtive lurking in supermarket trolley parks I found a list today in Waitrose. It was my third visit there in 2 days so about bloody time.

Written mainly in pencil with some black biro on a very crumpled and dirty piece of paper from one of those spiral-bound at the top journo notebooks.

In the top right it says 25+6

Cheese & bisc -20 wine
Beans & carrots-20 Sprouts
celery x 3
Eclairs?
Bacon
Tea
Supper for 4
Water
Leeks (last item is crossed out so I'm guessing a bit here)

Bit of an odd selection, obviously into their numbers but is that 20 sprouts or beans and carrots for 20? What does supper for 4 consist of? What the hell can you do with 3 bundles of celery? Lastly, but most importantly in my eyes, why query the eclairs? Surely they are a necessity

this is reocurring though horny - the " wuick meal for 5" or convenient meal

whoa re these weirdies?

Am increasingly as still not found one.

and after a prolific start me nither
waitrose particularly bad
bet there are richer pickigns at xmas
