Mrs M needed some shopping doing so I arrived at hers ready to pick up a shopping list on my lunch break from work. She'd prepared a list in advance and took me through each item on it, giving me a chance to ask questions if needed. I wasn't totally sure on a couple of the items having never seen them in the shops and probably also because they were meaty items and I'm a vegetarian!
I managed to grab all the items on the list apart from one so I phoned Mrs M to clarify what she meant by the item I was confused about. She tried to explain what she was after and also asked if I wouldn't mind grabbing her a newspaper while I was there.
When I got back to Mrs M's place we realised that I'd not managed to find what she was after for this particular item, though I had managed to buy the other items on the list.
I was just about to leave when she said that she'd forgotten a particularly important item off the list that she desperately needs - toilet roll! We agreed that I'd go to the closest supermarket to pick this up rather than the original one planned since I'd already made one trip and Mrs M wasn't particular about toilet paper brands. Fortunately the queues weren't too bad so I was back with Mrs M in no time with (almost) everything she'd asked for!
