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. "

I always put the size of tins I need for baked beans and tomatoes etc - as some recipes only require a small tin

In grams HRHQ???

• yes I have been known to take shopping lists with weights in grams of tins.

don't mean to offend you

This thread is hilarious. I am a listmaker and will think of this thread regularly. have a vision of mad mumsnetters squirralling away scraps of paper found in shopping baskets for ever more

cod - lol at pomegranate! Years ago my mum sent my brother to the grocers for a small leek (she was making soup) and he came back with one spring onion! She was amazed that the assistant sold a child one spring onion without question!

WooHoo!!! I found one. The list itself's not gripping, but what it's written on is much more interesting. Someone play ready steady cook and give me a recipe featuring the following.

The list:
Egg Fried Rice
Chinese
Rice
Eggs
Bagels
S/Berries x 2
Glace
3 cooking apples....

what are the dots for after the apples? Intruiging.

Anyway it's written on the back of a letter to parents from the headmaster of the most exclusive & expensive prep school around here. He feels that parents "ought to be aware" that there've been cases of Slap Cheek, Scarletina and Shingles already this term - it's a bleedin' isolation hospital rather than a boarding school. Then he goes onto say that the librarian is ill (not clear whether she's got any of the above) and asks if anyone has any librarianship experience and would they be prepared to muck in and help. Ten grand a year fees and they still want you to roll your sleeves up. I ask you.

If this is your list, hi and please tell me why the dots after the apples.

Love ever
Bear

lol, bear. I think yours wins hands down so far

Will write some lists to leave in trolleys - see if they end up on mn!!!

Ooooh list envy
I want the baby to wake up so I can go shopping!!!

I don't think bear's list was normal at all 'chinese' seemed more of a statement of origin regarding the egg fried rice!

Just got back from Waitrose and found...no lists

But, I did make my own and - completely subconsciously - actually wrote 'nice ham' on it! So I left it in my basket for any passing MNer...

(It is nice ham too, bloody should be for 80p per slice.)

No joy in M&S this morning either
