I swap between a few bags depending on what I'm doing but i move between them:

  • leather zip purse / pouch with cards cash driving licence etc & AirPods in box thing
  • slightly larger leather pouch with pens pencils, hand cream, etc, Inc battery pack & charger
  • fabric zipper pouch with painkillers contact lenses, tampons etc
  • keys
  • phone
  • notebook
  • water bottle (bag dependent)

Then I also have if I'm going to the office or a meeting

  • makeup bag
  • zipped bag with laptop cables etc
  • laptop in sleeve

I also often carry but not always

  • book
  • umbrella
  • sunglasses

If on a train, I also carry a bigger scarf because sometimes it's freezing!

All totally boring and I mostly use nothing except my phone and occasionally my purse + laptop and notebook, book.

Starting a countdown to the first person who comes on and says that they just put their keys and phone in their pocket and they're golden.

I mostly use a black leather fat face bag but always mean to rotate to other bags of many styles.

Cleared out by bag the other day and it now contains car keys, house keys, wallet, little Pepys London diary for old times sake which I barely use. Lens wipes.

Always mean to have make up/mirror/brush/anadin etc but forget.

Thank God it's no longer stuffed with face masks.

tobee · 22/02/2023 02:57

Ooh and phone!!!

Becclescake · 22/02/2023 08:11

I can't cope with a small bag, I need to cover every eventuality Grin

Currently using a River Island cream fluffy tote/cross body type bag which contains:

  • Blood forms as have to be tested every week and saves hunting around frantically last minute on way to my appointments
  • Small can of antiperspirant
  • Femfresh wipes
  • Femfresh spray
  • Spare knickers
  • Panty liners
  • Lip gloss selection (usually can't find the one in the bottom of my bag so end up slinging another one in)
  • Purse
  • Phone (+ charger if going out all day)
  • Chewing gum
  • Tissues

I get very hot and bothered when out and about which is why I insist on the spare underwear and various toiletries.
