To ask what you actually carry round in your 'day' bag?

I have an enormous bag that always weighs a ton.

In it: work laptop, charger, work phone, iPad, personal phone, tissues, hand gel, hand cream, car keys, house keys, pens (biro and pack of coloured pens), pad, hay fever meds, painkillers, hair tie, purse, spare contact lenses, deodorant, work ID badge.

AHa this is my special pride- a relic of long distance train commuting, I now have a go-bag with most stuff to help me deal with being stuck away from home for a bit, and to get me out of plausible but unlikely sticky situations- like if my bank card didn't work, or my train got stuck in a tunnel.

I found a handbag organiser in Primark which is perfect for the job: it's got loads of pockets and is teeny tiny so it goes in whatever bag I want to use.

So I have:
Pen/notebook/sickbag/glasses cloth and cleaning solution/lipsalve
Paracetamol/small plasters/mini screwdrivers/nail file/pocket knife/folding spoon/mini sewing kit
Tissues/wipes/hand gel/SheWee/nappy bags/tampons/inhaler
Mini credit card torch thingy
Kendal mint cake/chocolate/tin of salt/packet of mints
Purse and phone

And a metal barrel thing on my keyring that I can fit a couple of twenties in- best gadget ever!

My door key also has a utility sleeve gadget over it that has a tin opener, file, various screwdrivers and allegedly some tweezers (but these are shit)

Most useful things are:
Keyring cash stash
Pocket knife
Salt supplies (I hate disappointing chips!)

Phone, keys, card-wallet, handcream, small cosmetics pouch, deodorant, pens, reading spectacles, sunglasses, hair clips/ties, facial wipes. Sometimes a scent-spritzer, notebook and my iPad.

The good news is I've just snapped myself up a beautiful Osprey tote, one that's big enough to accommodate an A4 file or two, at a knockdown price. It's brightly coloured with a contrasting guitar-style strap on it. I'm in love.

Oh yes. Crystal nail file. They go everywhere with me.

Yikes, I'm in awe of some of you and am resolved to do better, my bag weighs a ton!
