I CAN’T WRITE A KICKER. I USED ALL MY BRAIN POWER TO WRITE A SHOPPING LIST

Don’t Click Here. It’s Just a Shopping List

Mind you, it does contain a secret cure for the common cold.

I caught a cold this week. I’ve been miserable.

Co-incidentally, my husband, Roger, also looked miserable when I asked him to go to the supermarket to get me the ingredients to cure myself.

Roger doesn’t like going to the supermarket because I’m a control freak, and he’s always worried he’ll get the wrong things.

I don’t know why he worries. Because I write brilliant lists with perfect instructions to help him not go wrong.

Behold.

Shopping List

One chicken. You choose. I’ll leave it up to you because I can’t decide which chicken is best. I like the free-range/organic ones. But my vegetarian friend says we should buy the battery chickens because at least then we’ve put them out of their misery, and it’s cruel to eat a free-range happy chicken. So now I never know which one to get, so you have to choose. But don’t get a stuffed one.

Bag of organic carrots, but make sure you get the bag with the most carrots in it. Not the one with a few…

I came, I wrote, I conquered. That last bit might not be true, but at least I am putting up a good fight.
