How large are some people's handbags? Don't you get sore shoulders from heaving around so much shite all day? Does your bag come with wheels and an extendable handle?

I don't usually use a handbag. Phone, wallet, keys, all in pockets and job's a good-un. Only time I concede to a handbag is in summer or on a night out when jackets and dresses invariably lack pockets 😠

I dont even know its a big bag and very rarely do i get to the bottom.of it, I do know there is a medal in there from when I did a charity firewallk which must have been over 5 years ago. I realised it was there while looking for something to entertain my friends by with so I could get my car keys back.

You have your friends baby in your bag? 😮

dontgobaconmyheart · 01/05/2022 23:02

In there at all times:
Purse
Mini hand sanitizer
Mini hand cream
A small tin with painkillers, a few other meds & plasters
Keys
A sanitary towel in the zip compartment
A mini pen
Lip balm (vaseline tinted)

Then interchangeably depending what I'm doing there'll possibly be:

A small makeup bag

A book
Sunglasses (in summer)
Some sort of cereal/snack bar
Gloves (if it's winter)

Nope I was correcting a typo although she would actually fit.

Shinyandnew1 · 01/05/2022 23:04

@Robinni it was the fact you’d mentioned them twice!

Gloomandglow · 01/05/2022 23:04

I rarely carry a handbag around with me these days. I take my phone and keys in my pocket and I've found that's all I need. After years of toting around baby bags I'm travelling light!

If we're going further afield then DH carries a backpack with snacks, DS's drinks etc.
