- I'll go to the supermarket after work tomorrow, so let's make a list. - We'll need some soy milk, pasta... and if you get some creme fraiche and some lardons, I'll make a quiche for dinner! - Excellent idea! I'll also get some peanuts because we're having guests on Saturday. - And don't forget to add shampoo, because I finished the bottle this morning. - I also noticed earlier that there were no cotton buds [US: Q-tips] left. - Yes, and of course, buy some bread on the way!

I'll be right with you...
