A Christmas shopping list.
Vibrant pink paper.
Some seasonal Christmas food here. Parsnips, nuts, ingredients for trifle. Even Xmas is listed as an item.
The list is from Morrisons yet some items have been specified to be sourced from Costco, Salmon and Pepps (peppers?).
This person enjoys an abbreviation, mushs = mushrooms, pots = potatoes, rasps = raspberries.

To aid reading whilst dashing through the supermarket, this happy shopper has organised their list into columns. All the staples are here for a large weekly shop.
This person is organised as they have their columns but they also take a pen with them to check items off as they go.

Very nice neat handwriting here, lots of items fitted on a folded A5 spiral bound piece of paper.
Likely a mother of children at school age, with pets. Mouse treats, “kid’s” crisps/snacks, cookie dough, lollies.
Meat captured in a separate area of the list in large parenthesis. Chicken, prawns, muscles, bacon, ribs, sausages.
Orzo pasta suggests a cook in the house.

I found this list by a bench high up on a cliff on the Dorset coast.
There was a scrap of folded paper laying on the ground which I opened up and low and behold it was a shopping list.
It is a rather short shopping list. Maybe breakfast essentials for some holiday makers in the area.
This just in from Yvonne, our own very special Australian correspondent (her blog can be found here).
“I was standing in the queue and spotted this list clutched in the fist of the shopper ahead of me. I made her an offer she couldn’t refuse (you don’t want to know), and I became the proud owner of the list.
It was at the Coles Supermarket, Myrtleford. Cheers!”
There are many points of interest here, it does indeed to appear to be Rosa’s Birthday and Rosa’s will be getting a scarf and card at least – maybe some eggs too? I am not sure if the carpet cleaner is for her.
The ‘Spray and Wipe’ is not a brand we have in the UK, a quick Google shows this: Colgate Ajax Spray n Wipe
Now, about the wire wool… The list so far is pretty typical with the usual mix of food stuff and cleaning bits, but wire wool? This is a strange addition, maybe a little too strange as the author hastily crossed it off the list shortly after adding it.
The note paper is is great with tea and cakes shown, the handwriting is female.
Many thanks Yvonne, what did you have to promise to get your hands on this list? Whatever it was, it is much appreciated.
Eggs Rosa, Money, cucumber, potatoes, red onions, cos lettuce, cream x 2, bacon, deodorant, spinach, vanilla, mushrooms, coffee beans, washing power, toilet cleaner, spray n wipe, toilet things, steel wool, dishwasher cleaner, b’day card Rosa, scarf for Rosa, preen carpet cleaner.

She wrote Maris Piper, he was confused or thought she was too pernickety and appended ‘spuds’? Different hand?
What else is happening here? A roast? A pickling session? Making chutney?
Maris piper spuds, veg, cauliflower cheese, vinegar, smoked streaky bacon, bag sugar, Yorkshires.

Squared paper, a blue biro, dots after each word.
Are those apostrophes to be seen in the plurals; eggs, rashers and chillis?

Bread, salad stuff, baguette, cheese, marmite, sausage rolls, tiny pork pies, Kellogg’s, bacon, toilet rolls, salt and rinse, lager.
Unusual to see Kellogg’s written a brand, rather than the cereal type.
What is salt + rinse? Is it this? Colgate salt rinse
