Need some distraction from the horrors of real life !

Was just hunting in my handbag & wondering if it's just me that carries all this nonsense about !?

Amongst the usual everything but the kitchen sink I seem to be carrying :

A set of 3 Juggling balls

A Tupperware dish full of green teabags (I never drink green tea)

A mooncup (Clean)

An aux cable (Ipod to car)

A pair of socks (Adult, Clean)

Any advances ?

I'm very jealous of handbags.
I'm a man and it tends to be considered wrong if I carry one. I end up with lumpy pockets.

The contents of handbags baffles me. My GF has a big one from Debenhams that's full of God knows what.

Pengweng · 03/12/2015 17:25

Purse, diary, polo mints, three pens, an eyeliner, mirror with penguins on it, keys, kids hairclips and bobbles, lip balm, tissues, first aid kit (for the kids, includes a dodgy looking paracetamol sachet, plasters, wipes, arnica balm, lip balm, suncream (could probably take that out now lol)). Also if actually out with the DTs then i shove in a small wet bag with spare trousers and pants incase of any accidents.

TheWoodenSpoonOfMischief · 03/12/2015 17:32

Absolutely nothing!
I've just bought a new one and it's beautifully clean and empty.

Far too much rubbish in my old one.
