I’d just presume that it was one of the maids or stable lads stocking their own larder. There’d be a ****ing inquisition if one container of Dolmio made it into the kitchens let alone six. Jesus Christ I’m palpitating at just the thought of it…

I'm going with tomato paste.  I say this because it's followed by tinned toms and D*lmio.  Buy toothpaste as well.   Job done.

Tomato paste given context, but it's a guess.

Whatever it is, it's the writers fault, not the reader if they don't get what they want. Unless the writer is female then you're stuffed.

There's a full stop between tea and tree on closer inspection, so I assume tea bags or perhaps loose tea is required, and some kind of tree? What kind of tree though? Evergreen or deciduous? Sapling or mature? Species?

This list is painfully ambiguous.

Nice handwriting and liking the nod for tea tree, presumably oil?. I read the first item as toothpaste. Could be a little too reliant on the Dolmio but hey, we've all got our own poison's.

I can't believe "Deoderant" seems to have got a free pass.

Nah, that’s just where the tip of the sharpie has just touched the paper as it was lifted off. I’d agree with toothpaste as the first one, but it could equally be tomato paste, it’s ambiguous because there are two distinct groups of items, and it could fit into either. Get one of each to avoid disappointment. 😬

thanks for all the answers.

we're still no closer to a peaceful resolution.

I feel that I must explain the Dolmio thing before I lose all forum credibility though.

It's for our short-eared French Bulldog, Theresa. She turns her nose up at dog food and much prefers a regular diet of spaghetti bolognese, but I was becoming fatigued preparing fresh passata on the daily, Soooooo

Spelling is just arbitrary conventions. Capitalization, on the other hand, is a serious matter.

We'll have to consider some kind of appropriate punishment.

WhoTF buys "tomato paste" ever?  That's tomato puree (or purée).

So, the first item must be toothpaste.  To go with the deodesant, fact wipes  and shover gel.

Its still a bit embarrassing when you accidentally  get it wrong when correcting some one else though isn’t it 😆

Then you have to do it again just to make it look like it was intentional. 🤔

I don't get shower gel. It's overpriced, badly packaged soap for morons.

Yes toothpaste just doesn't go with shower gel or face wipes.

Look in your bathroom.  If there's not much toothpaste left, then it's toothpaste.

Tch.  Men.

OK... the answer was toothpaste.

I bought toothpaste because I knew that we needed toothpaste, and in fact I was surprised to not see it on the list.

I did however, spend a few minutes lingering in the pasta/pesto/tomato aisle wondering if I had missed a memo about some new product we're now using, before abandoning my quandry.

I think it was the fact that the list appears to be in two clearly defined sections - groceries and toiletries, that threw me.

All's well that ends well however.. mrs yunki has humiliated me to her satisfaction and won herself a shiny pound for being able to find people in the world that could interpret the list.

thanks all for your participation in this sociological experiment.

Muphry's law is an adage that states: "If you write anything criticizing editing or proofreading, there will be a fault of some kind in what you have written."[1] The name is a deliberate misspelling of "Murphy's law".

I had my soap epiphany about 5 years ago after spending years sluicing endless bottles of shower gel down the plug hole.

Soap works better, smells better, costs far far less, and is better for the environment. Old school all the way.

And 'shover gel'?

That's some sort of sex lube?
