So, what's in YOUR handbag?

Read Jeremy Clarkson's column in the Sun Times yesterday where he was talking about his wife's handbag and how it takes her forever to find things, and the amount of useless stuff she had in there. All of which rang true of course Smile.
So, fess up, what's in your handbag? And be honest! I'll start (and I haven't had a cleanup, as will become very clear!)
Medical notes
Gaviscon (never leave home without it)
Wallet
Train season ticket
Work pass
Pack of tissues
Boarding cards for the last 4 flights I've bee on Blush (in my defence they have all been in the last 6 weeks!)
Make up bag (which is never closed properly, so make up also all over handbag)
Handcream
Calpol sachets
One of DS's cars
mini ipod
about a million random receipts
5 pens
DS's stickers
Comb
perfume (one of the small sample sizes)
Mobile phone
(actually I'm quite impressed - my bag isn't THAT big, and it does manage to zip up)
Anyone else brave enough?

Once posted on another thread like this and it was massively embarassing - I was about the worst. Am much better now. Yesterday it also contained nappies/wipes etc but I am at work today. I don't do changing bags anymore.

Radley · 21/03/2006 16:29

LOL Nbg, I'm obsessed with lipgloss, not that it's obvious lol.

Nbg · 21/03/2006 16:29

I still have dd's changing bag hanging up but haven't used it for ages.

Think I'll get her one for her to use.
