What's in your bag

[ThomCat]

While I was rummaging around in my bag trying to find my keyes I wondered what all my fellow mumsnetters were carrying around with them......

I'm lugging around:
Book - Life of Pi
purse
keys
teething gel
half eaten Peter Rabbit museli bar (Lotties)
chewing gum
mobile phone
a pen
some paper clips ???
the back of an earing
lip balm
tissues

filofax
purse
lipstick
perfume
keys

of course I am keeping the numerous changes of clothes, nappies etc for DD2 in a different bag.

Dare I look???

Here goes:

Wallet
Inhaler
Keys (multiple key rings)
Snot rags
Taxi Receipt
Lipstick
Eye Shadow
Mascara
Cold sore cream
Tampons (aged!!)
Deodorant
Mobile Phone
Gloves
Painkillers
Antihistamines
A lollipop ...EH?????

LOADS OF CRUMBS!

Yuck... I'm off to clear out my bag.
A Comb

I've given up on my bag now ! As a SAHM I rarely have the need for a bag of my own, I just chuck my mobile, purse and keys in DD's nappy bag. Though this thread had prompted me to empty out my old bag (just dumped in the cupboard, still full). It contains....

Keys & a padlock (?)
A receipt from Currys dating back to December '99 for £79.99
A cooler teething ring
A shell and a pebble (given to me by DS1 'to look after'
A furry chapstick with the lid missing
Small round make up mirror
Crumbs
Half a pack of Extra chewing gum
A taxi firm business card
A dentist appt reminder card

Dunno why that "a comb" featured at the end of that! oooops

Sorry should have been another ) rather than a smiley

Not sure how last two items got in here as it's a work day. All child & baby stuff is in my (much larger!)"Mummy" bag

Kayleigh - whats Rescue Remedy?
Whatever it is it sounds like something I'd like to have!

Very functional bag I am proud to say:

Contents: house keys, car keys, mobile and purse.

Dd's bits and bobs are kept in a bespoke 'babyrucks' changing bag.

Dh thinks I'm anal retentive.

M2T - It's Bachs Rescue remedy. Herbal stuff that is meant to calm you down !! It's in a dropper and you put a few drops on your tongue. You can buy in Boots or any chemist.

I used to take when I had PND. Still need it occasionally - usually when I'm very pre-menstrual or expecting a visit from my mum !!

Am amazed I get so much in a relatively small bag!

I feel so inadequite!!

salt, most of the stuff in my work bag stays there all the time. I don't transfer stuff - only purse, chequebook and phone. I always have two of everything lipsticks, nail glue, powder etc - one at home and one in my work bag to save hassle.

Thats my work bag and in the order I found it so basically a mess. From the evidence I guess I last cleared it out in early June. Thanks for giving me a job tonight thomcat.

Went out at the weekend shopping and took:
Purse
Mobile
Tissues
Carton of juice
Pair of pants (for DS not me )
Reins
In the end didn't need reins or pants.

How big is that bag Bozza ?! Sounds like you could get lost in there

I don't even have a handbag any more - just stuff things in my pocket or in top of nappy bag (I do like my Babybjorn smart nappy bag!!).
In my coat pocket today -
purse (which includes all the medication I am on and a needle/syringe)
unmentionable crumbs
mobile
old receipts
lipstick
pen
finger puppet
small car
lots of loose change, mostly coppers!
