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. "

like soupsters list

OK, the gauntlet is down. THIS list will kill it:

Tomatoes
Onions
Mushroom [just the one]
Mini Popadoms
Bombay Mix
Butter
Eggs
Stuff for veggie curry
Kitchen Roll
Rice
Loo Rolls
Fairy Liquid
Bleach x 4 [I'm reminded of a recent episode of CSI...]
Oil
Canderell
Brown Sauce
Soy Sauce
Roast Chicken (or Stuffed Duck etc)
Potatoes
Yorkshires
Chips
Lamp Oil

I'd say a fry up for Saturday lunch, a candlelit curry for dinner, then a roast Sunday lunchtime. But the bleach worries me.

Anyway - that did nothing for me. I'm list-impotent. Sorry, it's just not floating my boat no more...

do you resign?

do you resign?

would you accept it if I did

I have a list... from Ikea! Found in a basket of fluffy toy cats so technically not in a shopping trolley though.

A5 white envelope (complete with name and address)

tea light holders
toilet roll (roll crossed out) holder brush
gravilax
dinner for us
perfumed candles
te (crossed out) dog basket
look at bookcase.

.. ponders..

wtf is gravilax??

This list absolutly CANNOT die! I stopped shopping online and drag the DS's round in a trolley now in teh vain hope of finding a list!

gravidlax is kind of smoked fish, like smoked salmon but something round the outside? can't think what. peppers maybe?
the scandinavians like it.

I am a little peturbed that "dinner for us " is coming from Ikea.

Changed my mind, not gonna give you the satisfaction.

For dinner tonight we are delighted to offer you tinned hotdogs, followed by meatballs, gravy and loganberry sauce with a Dime (Daim) bar for dessert. Enjoy your meal.

I got some very nice jam in Ikea once as it happens

Isn't it dill?

have discoeverd that our waitrose ( so £££ compared to tesco) has a BIN near hte trolleys for all old lists

PMSL at the image of Cod going through bins to get a list

yes dill of course

Dinner from ikea is great but it comes flatpacked and you have to assemble it yourself.

and the vital piece is generally missing and you have to call customer services and ask them to send it, for which they charge you and then send the worng piece three times in a row, before a fortnight later finally sending the right bit, by which time you have broken a toe pushing past the half assembled effing piece of effing junk furniture in the dark

like the Murphys, I'm not bitter

Big Ikea fan are you, Bear?

I'm waiting for a MNer to confess it was them that left the list. I mean who else would abandon a list in a pile of fluffy cats??

Come on! Who were you?!

A Waitrose list - picked up off the floor after I "dropped my car key" next to it.

Page from a small spiral bound notepad with a cute little toaster saying "hello!" printed on thebottom and the slogan "crispy and well toasted bread Mini toaster!"

crumpets
hot x buns
mousakka
breadsticks
water bottles
pizza + doughballs
coke (presume cola rather than cocaine, this was Waitrose afterall)
orange juice
Sugar)

Lots of bread products there to try in the new toaster I reckon

When we had our car ( a second hand one) we were checking the boot and there was a little cubby for keeping a first aid kit in and I found a bunch of notes from a woman to a man whom she was clearly having an affair with, he was the guy who sold us the car!!! thay made very interesting reading, she was threatening to tell his wife about the affair if he did not keep his promise of going away with her and he had better hurry up as she was running out of patience! ( bunny boiler), she threatened to meet his wife and show her the photographs of him taken in the bedroom!!!!
There were 5 letters and she told him she could not live without him and he was full of empty promises and she did not want to sit by the phone night after night for just a few moments on the phone or an hour in bed!!!! I can't believe this guy keptthem in the car!!! Iburned them in the end.
