i do normally find a sock tho and a couple of smarties

[JackieNo]

I do have some ice chains for putting over my shoes when it's icy (not that it has been, but you never know). But no rawl plugs. Bizarre.

[whatkatydidntdo]

I have safety pins, a screwdriver, an odd sock called sockie(!), pack of cards, a brownies song book, loads of odd bits of paper, receipts and leaflets, a scooby, purse, a small bouncy ball, hair bands. And its only a smallish bag.

I've just had a look too. I've got
Purse
iPAQ
box with pens in
cheque book
sun glasses
rattle
driving licence
book token card (and some book tokens)
a prop from my podiatrist yesterday for my toes
credit cards
tape measure
nail file
and probably lots more but I haven't delved deep enough to find (and it's only a small bag too!)

[NDPWillSpendLessTimeHereIn2007]

I'll have a look, hang on....

• Mini make-up bag (Rimmel Mascara, Revlon eye colour, Tweezerman tweezers, YSL lipgloss, bodyshop cheekblushtintthing, very neutral Tesco lipstick and retractable lipbrush)

• Bright pink fleece hat (DD's)

• Bright pink fleece gloves (also DD's)

• Dental floss

• A Remembrance Day Poppy

• Eyelash curlers

• Mini umbrella

• Small pencil (like the ones you used to find in betting shops )

• Nivea lip balm stick thing

• A broken bead bracelet made (and broken) by DD.

• 2 Tesco receipts (£22.78 & £63.65)

• Thomas Sabo charms pricelist

• Tiny pewter 'First Curl' pot missing the lid (and the curl)

• Scrap of paper with my mobile number on it (?)

• Old shopping list written on a scrappy envelope

• A massive pair of Next sunglasses (?!)

• An out of date squirty thing of Rescue Remedy

• My purse

• About 23p in loose change and a few Euros

• Pot of Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse

It is quite a big bag. Weirdly for someone with so much makeup in their bag I very rarely actually wear makeup.

RubyRioja - the escape pod looks fab! Of course it's too late for me now as youngest is 3. Would make a great present though. Damn it - might get that stripey one anyway...
