What do you keep in your handbag?

[Millie1]

Is it full of bits and pieces, things belonging to the children or is it neat and orderly containing only your things?

I've just bought a new one, it's much bigger than I'm used to and I don't know how to fill it. Hang on, I'm not going to fill it ... it's going to be much less grubby inside than my current bag .

phone, purse, keys, letters, fags

-wallet
-phone
-dog poo bags (oh! the glamour....!)
-emergency nappy (ditto)
-wipes
-hand sanitizer
-keys
-lipbalm
-concealer and mascara for those impromptu nights out (that's a laugh, they've probably dried up since last time they were opened )
-sunnies
-lots of receipts
-boiled sweet (looks ancient)
-matchbox enamel toy car
-raisins
-condom

I made the last one up.
