What's in your handbag?

I'm curious - What's in your handbag right now?

I find I accumulate a lot of crap in mine so I periodically have to clear it out. I've just done a clear out and I'm wondering if this is normal and what you have in yours.

This is what I had that I cleaned out:

An unopened, in date, miniature pot of jam
Two empty crisp packets
Two keyrings that I had bought as stocking fillers and hidden in my handbag
Salt and pepper sachets
A teabag
A battered remembrance day Poppy
A child's sock
LOTS of old receipts and old bus tickets
A leaflet about Jesus
Handbag dust

This is what I now have in there:
My purse
My keys
A folded and compacted shopping bag
A compact umbrella
A small notebook
2 pens and 2 pencils
My passport
My favourite lippy
A small tub of vaseline
Several hair ties and a Kirby grip
A compact mirror
Four paracetamol

Will add keys and phone when I go out.

What do you have?
