amicissima and jackieno, I almost always have a klippit or two in my 'proper' handbag, the one I take to work, cos I use them on my sandwich bag and they never make it out again.
I'm away on the course at the moment, so have my small bag instead of the work one, and it contains:
driving license (test drove a car on Sunday)
biography of Apsley Cherry-Garrard
Urban Decay powder compact
sachet of ketchup
hairbrush
mp3 player
purse
receipt from Waitrose
Work bag normally contains the purse, plus three lipsticks, half a dozen receipts, three months' worth of pay slips, every 'feminine hygiene' item I could ever wish for (except when I actually come on, when they all disappear), umbrella, and a layer of mysterious dust.
