Binning a trad purse for just a card holder

I largely don’t use cash at all, either Apple Pay on my phone or my debit card. I’ve got all my loyalty cards on the Stocard app. Has anybody else binned their traditional purse?

I have this for when I’m using small handbag. It replaced a similar Fossil style I’d had for about 10 years. You could use it just as a card holder but also put a £20 note in when you’re somewhere that might not take card (like some rural areas that have a minimum spend or you need to get a private taxi).

Coats with pockets are fine, but if you aee like me and don't feel the cold much they are only worn in the depths of winter, I've hardly used one so far this winter as its been so mild.

I just pop my debit card into my back pocket and I'm good to go!

I have a little leather card case. Perfectly good.

thumb texting aggravates my RSI

Having never used a handbag my whole life, I have moved into using one last few yrs. Mine has a load of stuff I need and can't just put on phone.
My pockets are stuffed with gloves & scarves by journey end.

You wanna work for the council and get city wide permit parking like me Grin

Having to have cash for awkward purchases does seem to be dwindling thank god!!

Yy to the awkward texting. They also do it with remote controls it's painful!!!

I have ditched the purse and handbag (99% of the time) a few years ago and have a card holder from Oliver Bonas.
Got fucking fed up of lunging crap around all day I didn't need and damaging my posture and chances of catching the last train home by slowing me down!
And my ex dh crap around too when he sneaked it in my bag.
I text with my fingers BlushGrin I do think people who carry their whole world around with them in a big handbag are mumsie.

My parents text with their fingers, they’re in their 70s! My handbag has emergency lippy, compact, hand cream, glasses, old receipts
