Women: What do you have in your handbags?

LilyAnna80 · 12/02/13 - 00:33

I emptied all of my bags out tonight through crap tv and boredom. The things I found in there were quite laughable, everything was total sh*te.

Shappy · 12/02/13 - 00:53

Pen, pencil, tissues, lip balm, lip gloss, small mirror, house keys, car keys, umbrella, work security pass, work cabinet key, face powder, ipod, iphone, glasses case, a spare pair of contact lenses, mints, oyster card, hair brush, paracetemol tablets, asthma inhaler, hair band, hair grip, purse (with notes and coins, driver's licence, debit and credit card, business cards, boots advantage card).

Everything you have is useful - I found a load of receipts from years ago. I am scared to remove anything cos I just know I will need it 2 days after getting rid of it. I have a problem with throwing things away.

Not very much because I have a relatively new bag so there hasn't been much time for clutter to accumulate. I'm trying to keep it tidy this time.

At the moment I've got keys, my purse, asthma inhaler, small packet of tissues, mirror, make up compact, lip gloss, paracetemol, a pencil case (for work; they've provided us with tonnes of stationary and nowhere to store it), a notepad, some documents for work, a bottle of water, perfume, and a sanitary pad (always keep one in the zipped pocket for emergencies - usually the "emergency" involves giving it to a friend!). I think that's it.

Nothing. I don't own a handbag. I use my pockets. It's what pockets are for.

I wish more of my clothes had pockets.

I seem to have, completely unintentionally, filled my wardrobe with mainly pocketless clothes.

It sounds to me as if some of you are carrying suitcases rather than handbags!

I have no idea how it all fits in my everyday bag. I'm just about to look in my little bag.

More one leg glasses,
old bus tickets/receipts - dated from roman era this time,
Italian Lira,
dodgey looking toothbrush,
3 memory sticks - wondered where they had got to
notepad,
pencils,
tampons,
camera lens,
packet of crumbs - shortbread in a previous life?,
ear phones,
socks,
tea bags,
dog treats,
packet of sweet pea seeds,
lump of rosin - many years since I picked up a fiddle,
yoyo.
light bulb,
hair clips and bobbles,
Usual unidentifiable fluffy things,
toothpicks,
camping salt and pepper set.

Dear gawd - what would an analyist make of the contents of my bags?

LilyAnna80 · 12/02/13 - 12:17

I love pockets. I always buy clothes which have them.

In my "pockets" I have my mobile phone. A set of keys not for my place. Old receipts and some loose change that adds up to less then £1.
