I decided to face the fear yesterday and empty out my handbag knowing full well it would be stuffed with filth and general miscellany......

Behold, for here is the contents!

Nice to see I'm not the only one that carries a Sophie giraffe everywhere! Mine has baby wipes, purse, too many receipts to count, a (fluffy) single polo, a Sophie, car card, a wrist rattle and lots of lint!

I only use mine for work really or other rare occasions I go out without the kids. It's got my purse, ipod, work pass, some pens, a lippy and tampons in it.

Other than that I keep my bank card in my phone case (shouldn't I know!!) and just chuck it along with my keys in youngests nursery bag.

Fintress · 28/06/2018 12:14

Plus some receipts and tissues. To be fair, no young children in this house!

Ooh I did this the other day. It filled a whole 10p Tesco bag - and I haven't sorted through it yet. Blush

I'm at work now so now pic unfortunately.

IllHaveALargeGlassOfRed · 28/06/2018 12:36

No wonder I can't find anything! I usually have my phone and 2 sets of keys as well. And a bottle of water!

Thanks to this thread I have just dumped a pile of receipts, a ton of tissues and empty polo wrappers. I also found the car key I've been hunting for ages!

youngestisapsycho · 28/06/2018 12:39

I want the bag and contents of Fintress! Grin

Flynnshine · 28/06/2018 12:45

This has just forced me to sort my abomination of a handbag out! Eleventy billion receipts later...

Thank you OP... I feel lighter now! Smile

I think it’s obvious from mine that I don’t have kids :)

  1. Card I bought this morning from Paper Chase for best friends birthday
  2. Cushion foundation
  3. Mirror compact
  4. Mascara
  5. Ratty old hair brush
  6. Hair claw clip thing
  7. Two marbles (nephew)
  8. Hot Wheels car (also nephew)
  9. Touché Eclat
10. Citalopram 11. Lighter (I don’t smoke!?) 12. Matte lip color 13. Eucerin face moisturizer 14. Pkt of sugar 25. Two pound notes

If I was assessing my personality on the above I would say that I am an anxious person who likes childish cards, suffers from dry skin, worries about her appearance and steals sugar from beach kiosks Blush

I'm shocked at the amount of stuff i carry around with me. I have 3 lipsticks and never ever use lipstick (i don't even buy lipsticks but i get them as gifts sometimes). I have really bad pain on my right shoulder and have been meaning to get a new and smaller handbag so i guess i'll be doing that as soon as i can.

I can't get rid of my small notebook, pencil case and stamp because i use them at work. I can't get rid of the many medications as i use all of them. Any ideas?

I don't know how to do a photo but regardless, I present:

-keys on a purse filled with bag-for-lifes
-pretty lilac wallet
-hair brush
-5 crayons
-2 pens
-otrivine eye drops
-anthisan
-an orphaned (no keys) sperm shaped keyring that colour changes
-wet wipes
-a badge that says "It's party time" and
-not one, but FIVE lip balms.

Clearly, I am prepared for every eventuality Hmm

steff13 · 28/06/2018 13:37

I love seeing what's in peoples' bags!

Mine has three pockets. The rear one has my makeup bag and, um, a couple lipglosses. The front one has floss, eye drops, gum, and some beadlets from doTERRA. The middle has my wallet, checkbook, hand lotion, pen, post-it notes, a pocket diffuser, a clippy purse hanger thing, and some receipts.

Steff - love that cherry red MK bag - mine is the tan tote 👜. (Which I saved up three months for lol). I had my eye on a Kate Spade, but now I wonder if I should go for the red.

Sorry for derailing Grin
