What unusual thing can often be found in your pocket or bag?

[alrightluv]

For me it has to be sea glass. I often find some on the beach and stick it in my pocket then find it ages after.

Love this. I hope you're doing ok now?

These are great 😃

An allen key and one of those spikes for inflating footballs and basketballs.

A bottle of Mackenzie's Smelling Salts, just in case anyone swoons obvs.. 😁

A massive marble. I was never allowed to buy them from museum gift shops as a kid, but I was in one recently with my own DD and suddenly thought "I'm an adult now, if I want a marble, I can just buy it" and I did! It's a really good one, and it makes me happy whenever I hold it 😄

Usually a random Lego piece or two from my ASD son 😅

😂

dog biscuits and poo bags

Packets of salt. Autistic DC needs to cover all his food with salt or he won’t eat.

Herbal teabags as I'm sensitive to caffeine

Aw, sorry for your loss, Millicent. They steal your heart, don’t they?

An emergency porridge sachet and just recently, a stomach tube for a cow.

Poo bags
Penknife

I love this! It’s such a great feeling, remembering you more a grown-up and can do what the fuck you like.

@HesterPrincess I haven't heard of a pocket hug?

Not now as my dad’s no longer here but for years I had to carry diy catheters for him…a bit more niche than the poo bags I carry 😂

A rubber bung that belonged to a long dead dog, who used it like chewing gum. Otherwise just a big penknife, meds, hankie, apples and keys.

@MillicentMaybe so sorry 💐

Hahahaha about the poo bags! It's reminded me of the time my bag was searched at the O2. The security guy pulled a handful of black bags and asked me what they were. I said 'just poo bags' and he threw the handful in the air and made a little screech sound!

My ASD son does the same! I thought he'd inherited my love of salt, I didn't realise it was more common with ASD 😄

Oh definitely! It's the trade off for having to do the boring stuff like hold down a job and pay bills - I get to do stuff I want regardless of what other people think! It's like a small globe of self confidence in my pocket.

A stripping comb.

Oh this made me well up- I know that feeling all too well, it’s so hard, sorry for your loss 💖💖💖

I have a toddler, so it’s not particularly unusual with that context, but this morning I took out a hot wheels Fiat 500 and 3 sticks out of my coat.

Random bits of pottery/metal/interesting things from beachcombing/metal detecting/mole hill searching

Travel John disposable urine bag.

This is AMAZING. But what do you do for milk?
