A top up list of a few items. Written on a torn piece of note paper with fashionable rounded corners.

Too Much to Analyse
A list written by one person, to be used by another.
What a great piece of work this is. What do the numbers mean?

Crumpets and Moz
A small top up shop written on the back of an envelope. I am surmising that Moz is mozzarella.
I wonder if squash is the soft drink or the vegetable.
Found April 2017, Reading, U.K.
Small Potatoes
A list on A4 lined and punched paper pulled from a pad. Written in biro by two people. The first in capitals, the second amending in what looks to be an older style in lower case.
Ordinary tea suggests that other types of tea are sometimes purchased. Quite a healthy list, no meat, low fat.

Salad Nuts
A big shop.
Female hand.
Half a sheet of rules note paper.
This is a Summer list from four years ago which I had in my drafts from back then but did not publish. Still, better late than never.

P&G
This appears to be shopping for two people in two hands with two pens.
They are working age dog and cat owners with no children.
On P’s side of the list we have chicken, weetabix, French fries, custard creams, cokes and tissues. On G’s side we have duck in plum, chick/mushrooms, cold puds (eclair), trifle, lattes, cookies and chocs.
Some items have been crossed off, some have been circled. Some items in capitals and some in lower case. Notice the change of pen between hand wash and pads/pants.

PETROL
The shortest ever list. Petrol.

Big Milk, Small Milk, More Meat
A crossed off list shows somebody who takes a pen to the super market. The paper looks to be ripped from another list.
This shopper was looking for two sizes of milk, a Twix, 4 + baguette, fruit, paper cups, W U bowl, c-cumber, BBQ bread and ‘more meat’.
This looks like a BBQ shopping list? It is the right time of year. And what is the little picture in the corner? Some kind of tent?

Paul To Do – Weds
This is a set of instructions for somebody named Paul, maybe from a Mrs. Paul.
At the heart of the document there is a shopping list:
Juice, something healthy for dinner, Newman’s balsamic dressing, salad bag with iceberg and carrot blended?, mango, pineapple, kiwis.
This list is one I found a few years ago, back in 2017. I am wondering, four years later, is this person is still being given daily instructions on what to do.
A Good Deed
A good deed indeed. This list has been made by somebody doing shopping for a family who are currently in ‘lock down’.
Well done that person. May there be more like you.
