Dolly Bics

Nice list with the basics.  Some points of interest however, Dolly Bics?  Is Dolly a dog do we think?  These are underlined so important.

Also, is the last line trainers?  Maybe not as these would be a strange purchase at Morrisons.

Eggs, milk, fish, toms, veg, quiche, jacket pot, batter mix, W U Liq, Dolly Bics, Trainers?

Prescription Tax Car

A varied list, this one. Reminders to do other things as well as shopping.

Starts off with a reminder to pick up a prescription and tax the car (could hint to a non-internet savvy person, as most people I know now tax their car online – does anyone else still go to the post office to do it?)

Heartburn – presumably a reminder to get medication to help with heartburn

Then onto the foodstuffs and household items. No identifiable meal here, more a general shop.

I like how they kind of group similar items together so that they are not going back to the same aisle several times. A logical person.

Salad items (tomato, onion)

Meats (chicken/ham)

Dairy items (milk, yoghurt/rice, smoothie) milk scored out once, then maybe they checked and realised that they did need it!

Hot drinks (tea, horlicks)

Slightly worrying that they can’t spell toilet! And that they put gravy on the list next to toilet roll!

Any idea what the last word is though? Looks like “surfing”.

This list was kindly described by guest contributor LadyMissB20.

Many thanks!

Beanie Fish

Wow, where to begin?  There is so much to say here.  Please use the comments section freely to explain what this is all about.

Firstly, what are the numbers 124 and 485 relating to?

Is it Liah who provided £20, £40, £20 for Kentucky Fried Chicken?  Is it actually Leah or have I misread this?

What are ‘true you test strips’?

The consensus is that this is what the pink biscuits relates to:

Peppa Pig World

This is a well organised person.  They have meals planned for each day of the week.  In fact this list was also used in the previous week when they had pork shoulder on the Sunday.

The highlight to look forward to is of course Peppa Pig World on Friday!

Nice owls.

Great Hand Writing

Crisps, beer, wine, D|ginger, bread, D|W|Tablets, oxo’s, chicken oxo’s, washing liquid, fruit, veg, curry sauce, rice.

In answer to the question, what is Oxo:
