3. Also, why is the & backwards?

4. I like the way the crisps have to be cheap crisps. None of that expensive rubbish here.

5. It is a very wacky &, isn’t it? I figure she* draws them by writing an S then putting a diagonal line through it. I think it’s interesting how different people write ampersands.

   (*assumption there)

6. Although actually they might be crips rather than crisps. Or chrips or something.

7. Yes, Rich, No Frills are fine.

   Though I can’t quite work out the spelling, I think it’s chrips or maybe even chńps. But I’m not sure what cheap chńps are.

8. I do ampersands by doing a figure 8 then adding the tail.

   I have no clue what Dad stuff is. Is it like the “special stuff” on A League of Gentlemen?

10. I reckon the ‘Dad stuff’ might be Old Spice.

    I’m also very intrigued as to where she thinks she is going to get card that’s been made of kids. I’d have thought that’d be illegal.

11. I do an ampersand by writing an ampersand, i.e. imagine you are drawing an x. Starting at the bottom right, go up and left. Then without taking the pen off the page, loop clockwise to get to the bottom left, then move up and right. Stop & optionally put a wee tail on the topright end.

    Dad Stuff clearly means “it’s father’s day, and I have still no idea what to get him! Fortunately, all the shops know that this is a common problem, so they will have an aisle marked ‘father’s day’ and I can just go there and get stuff”, somewhat contracted to fit in the bulleted-list format. See also “card from kids”

    I’m also particularly bothered that she seem to write Ham with her right hand and Jam with her left.

    I would love to learn to do asterisks like those!

13. But what does this tell you all about this person?

    Female, house-wife, stressed.

    Cares a lot about people that matter (family) but doesn’t care enough about writing correctly (although she can) as family comes first.
    Anyway, what sort of weirdo is going to be interested in her shopping list?
    

    This list-writer reminds me of my Mum.
