    Hahaha, what a random thing, spools of thread.

    You just reminded me of the time I brought a salad thing into work, but I rushed out the door and just threw the lunchbox into my bag. The sauce covered everything; phone, wallet, book, keys EVERYTHING. And it stank too. Should've left it at home.

    I just cleaned 25 bus tickets out of my bag, nothing else out of the ordinary in it other then some large large paperclips and a cut up credit card, oh and the list of stuff I was supposed to get before I went on holidays last week. (I lost the list in my bag and so forgot some stuff before I went)

    I am the worst for bus tickets. A few years ago I was on the bus home from town and a conductor got on. Jesus I was there for a least 10mins looking for that day's bus ticket out of about a hundred. It was ridiculous, i was about 15 at the time so I was mortified and panicked and the bus tickets just kept multiplying. Thank god yer man gave up in the end, i never found that ticket....

    Make up too, my concealer is really annoying and keeps leaking everywhere. I also found about 20pens in my bag last week. Ridiculous. For such a small bag that I'm using lately I can fit an inordinate amount of stuff into it.

    I was staying with my sister one night and I left my toothbrush in her house. The following night we met up in town to go out and she gave me back my toothbrush which i put into my handbag. I had also arranged to meet this guy that I had just started seeing but hadn't slept with. Anyway, we were all in the pub and I got up to go to the bar. I dropped my handbag and the contents spilled out onto the floor so the guy I was seeing started helping me to pick stuff up. He picked up the toothbrush and gave it back to me grinning madly - he thought that I brought it with me on purpose because I was planning to spend the night with him - MORTO!

    I'm the worst handbag ever, everything is in there! a pack of chewing gum emptied in my bag, so they're just floating around with all the 1 cent coins and fluff etc.

    I had my handbag on the passenger seat the other day (I know, I know, someone could break the window and grab it while I'm stopped at lights etc), and I swear to God, the seatbelt beeper thing started beeping! The car acutally thought I had a passenger. That's bad.

    This happened to me yesterday :P And each ticket was for the same route at roughly the same time so had to spread them all over the seat next to me and find the one for the 3rd of October. He just laughed and told me not to worry about it. :D

    Had a box of condoms that had been opened and the carboard got soaked one day due to leaking 7up and I pulled out about 5 when I tried to take my wallet out to pay for something one day in Smyths...a child picked one up and gave it back to me. Thought I was going to die right there and then!

    I used to have this problem with debris but have this great bag from Next - its divided in two so i keep my makeup on one side and big things like hair brush, purse on the other side, easy for finding things, it also has side pockets at each end, one where i keep my phone and car keys and the other i keep for bus tickets, receipts etc so at the end of the day, i just need to throw away the papers from that one pocket, its really handy! And it has an inside zipped pocket for embarrassing items! It looks like a bit worky since its from Next, but good for every day wear anyway!

    This isn't your bag by any chance, is it?

    I knew a girl once who never went anywhere without a can of deodorant and a spare pair of shoes in her bag. It was a feckin' huge thing she carried, I dread to think what else was in it.

    You might have an idea from the helpful post(s) above now???

    I do keep three spare pairs of shoes in my car, ever since a heel snapped off one day in work and I had to walk around in my socks :D
    I'll not mention that this is the third time in a month that I've cleaned out my handbag :D

    I appear to be slightly extreme in terms of what I cart about in my handbag :D

    In my defence I make the case that I used travel a LOT with work, and am very forgetful, if it wasn't in my handbag, I couldn't guarantee it was with me.

    Sadly that came to roost one night when having forgotten my pyjamas I went sleep walking on the ninth floor of the Hilton.

    Hence the extreme handbag :D

    Um... Carkeys. Wallet. Phone. Lip balm. Tissues. Sun screen. Emery board. Hair toggle tie thingie. Fire-starting pile of receipts. Change for the supermarket trolley. Inner pocket is a chemist stash of tampons, ibuprofen, paracetamol, antacids and antihistamines.

    I've gotten a lot better about the handbag thing - I downsized my wallet to something that fits in a jacket pocket, and will usually happily leave the house with just wallet, phone and carkeys.

    ...this could be, however, because I've turned my car into one enormous handbag on wheels.

    ...let's not start a "what's in the boot of your car?" thread.

    I've always bought small bags to avoid "handbag debris". Once I have room for my wallet, keys, phone, maybe a hairbrush and small amount of make-up I'm happy. Last week though I bought a pretty big bag to accommodate my laptop and I've been using it quite a lot. Maybe I'll report back here in a couple of months' time!!
