In my handbag I have...

[ControlGeek]

...tissues, emergency insulin/needles/glucose tablets (I am not diabetic), a diary, a hair brush and mirror, a spirit level and multi tool. I used almost all of these things this evening (the hair brush was not needed).

What do you have in yours?

Bahahaha, I have tissues (some used), crayons, lip balm and lots of fluff

Your handbag sounds awesome!!

You also need to explain why you used the other things!!!

My DS's red book, 6 x size 6 Huggies, my kermit pen, calpol & syringe, half a packet of polo's, half a packet of strawberry gum, reins, perfume, pens, tampons, sanitary towels, receipts, purse, wipes, anti-bac gel

Nothing exciting lol

Tissues were because DP has a bad cold so needed them, insulin/needles/glucose was due to DP still being up and down on his levels, the diary was very much in use at my WI skittles night, the spirit level was used to prove the building I said was wonky actually is wonky, and the multi tool was needed to cut wool because someone forgot their scissors :) Do I get my Brownie badge now?

I think you get several Brownie badges

Purse, phone, diary, tissues, classroom key, pantyliner and a lip balm. Do I win the boring bastard award?

Wipes, nappies and a compass. Not even my purse because that is out on the table.

Purse, phone, keys, wipes, make up bag, compact mirror, diary, dd's red book, pens and earphones

i think the most odd thing in my bag is a wind up lady bird torch.

I cleaned out my work handbag the other day (only because a packet of those breakfast biscuits had opened itself). So, apart from crumbs and the usual purse, keys, phone... Several pens, two textbooks (pocket paediatric cardiology and the Oxford handbook of anaesthesia) and a drug formulary (which also contains a recipe for cake), a tin of Heinz tomato soup, paracetamol, ibuprofen, Zovirax, sanitary towels (which happen to be from sardinia), a notebook, a small stuffed rabbit, lip balm, several pounds worth of loose change, some handover lists (now shredded, I do a regular handover list cull!), some payslips, phone charger, hand cream, mints, a laminated card with instructions on working the epidural pump and a selection of ID cards for previous jobs that I do the occasional shift for.

I use some things in there daily and some have never been used but may come in useful at some point!

I have given up on a bag and now carry everything in my pockets like a man. I have no idea how it began, possibly from wearing baby sling and wanting to travel light? Anyway now all my crap is distributed amongst the pockets of various coats and it's a disorganised nightmare! In amongst it all: a teething ring, old nursery feedback forms, supermarket vouchers and bonjela

Sally - I like the selection of ID cards... makes you sound like a spy!

I once found a long-forgotten about can of pop about eight months past its best before date lurking at the bottom of mine

Nothing, I actually clear my bag when I get in, make up in a wee bag, perfume in drawer, usually different every day, same purse, anything else adjusted as necessary. Makes me happy

Approximately one thousand pens, purse, hankie, perfume and anything else I have had to carry for the kids. I can never find a thing ( except a pen). I have no brush!

Bloody hell, sallysparrow !

Double bloody hell sallysparrow!!! And as for lipgloss you have a wee bag for your makeup???

ok, I'll bite. I am going to empty the whole thing out.
This could be embarrassing, as I haven't cleaned it out for about six months.

Geordiegirl, I have multiple identities! My current Id badge says I'm a very junior anaesthetic trainee, 2 that say im a very senior paediatric trainee (but for two different trusts), another that says I'm a locum (so could be anything you want me to be!). 'What exactly ARE you?' is a question I get a lot these days!!

Purse, mini pack of Cadbury mini eggs, mini pack of Cadbury biscuits, pens, hair pins, hair bands, lippie, eyeliner (ALWAYS carry eyeliner!) pack of tissues, small yellow soft toy duck, paracetamol, ibroprofen, "hed" herbal headache stuff, earphones, diary, pens, sharpies and nail clippers....
And an A4 file full of work and a bottle of water.

I have been known to use clippers for more than toenails!

Purse, lip balm, lipstick, diary, pen, blue badge, meds book, pack of paracetamol, one pull up, antibac hand stuff, hand cream, umbrella, blue highlighter

Control, if you're not diabetic why do you have insulin? Is a family member diabetic?
