...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?

I try to use my handbag as little as possible these days, and use pockets when I can. Atm there's a pile of receipts scattered at the bottom, my purse, tin of Vaseline, headphones, keys, a pen loads of school letters that really should take out and bin read.

-nappies/wipes/travel matt
-spare clothes for DS
