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 confess to sometimes feeling really judgmental looking at other people's shopping . Y'know ''oooh she's brough 15 loaves of smartprice bread and a bottle of whisky, ooh dear...''
...Forgetting all the times when I have been having a dizzy day and accumulated a smorgasbord of seemingly random items - ie last week; chocolate, haircurlers, a melon, crisps, and fishnets! God knows what people must have thought, as I had the kids with me and there was no evidence of anything nutritious for the kids.

Two of the girls at Bumps and Babies had shopping lists today (and I wantssses them, yesss my precioussses)

Love Cubes for tea! my favorite! just putting the Kettle on for ours tonight!

Just been to asda, looked for lists but there were none to be found!

lol at wantssess their listssses

you can have my cubes, they're minging - I only bought them cause that list put them in my mind, now I regret it

Do you want my list when I finish with it on Friday Cabe?????????

Mine all mine Mummyhill

Bear... Cubee-no-likee???

Cabe the list collector!! - perhaps that's were all my lists go - as soon as I get in the shop - bingo list disappeared!! plus only fully remember contents of list whilst at checkout!!

yes writing a list and then leaving it at home HAS to be one of the most ANNOYING things ever

Stuart - boxers/chocs/wee thing
Russell - jumper small if m&s, medium if bhs
Ruby - lipstick
Jenny - smellies

Cod they think I'm barmy enough... now if I'd asked them for their (not yet used) shopping lists the small town gossip network would have been working overtime!

No lists at either B&Q or Waitrose this morning. Had high hopes of a B&Q one for you and chose a trolley with an assortment of rubbish left in it but no no avail.

Does three mangos, bottle of wine and a jumper constitute a weekly shop for you then??

Message withdrawn

No but 3 mangoes, porridge oats, six bottles of wine and a jumper may do here

I am delighted to say that I have never set foot in a Lidl. I once ventured into an Aldi in desperation when staying with my parents and that has, quite frankly, scarred me for life.

or lose your purse

OK I've got a list! Written on the back of a note from the School, tut, tut, although it is quite out of date so I suppose not needed anymore!

Onions
Carrots
Red Pepper
Pineapple Chunks in juice
Chicken 450g
White Wine Vinegar
Cornflour
Tortilla Wraps
Spaghetti
150g Almonds
Basil
150g Parmesan
600g Tomatoes

Written in pencil.

another one (back at the posh shop) - this time on the back of a quarter page of A4 with the muisc of what appears to be the Roro Carol printed on it.

Dead nice handwriting, emphatic abbreviations - I'd say a woman in her mid-40s, blonde - let me know if it's you and I'm right:

Salmon (oily fish, good start)
Broc (coli, natch)
Pots. (I'm guessing potatoes rather than pans)
Holl. Sce. (don't you make your own?)
Pud x2 (anyone who serves two puddings gets my vote)
Chicken (crossed out!!)
Bacon (see Pud x2 above)
O'Juice (healthy)
Broc (again? - maybe she's actally mid-60s having a senior moment)
Sats (umas I guess rather than tests)
Oranges (she likes her Vit C)
Bans (anas - again healthy)
M'rooms (can't say fairer than that)

Why cross out the chicken? What's going on in her life that requires chicken to get the chop?
