What is in your (hand)bag ??

TheB · 18-12-2007 11:18am #1

I cleaned out my bag this morning .. bad idea :eek: .. CSI (oooh... George Eads.. ) would have a field day with it if I was ever under suspicion of anything..

I was horrified.. I've not had everything out at once since I bought this bag in May..

Anyway.. contents were..

1 Nokia phone (work mobile)
1 Samsung phone (own mobile)
1 wallet containing E4.31 plus various cards.. i.e bank/organ doner/fuel card
1 Ericsson phone charger (??)

1 Benefit Dandelion powder (almost finished)
1 Benefit Dandelion Powder (Just started)
2 Juicy Tubes (used)
1 YSL Lipgloss/stick thing (new - wondered where it had gone)
1 Telescopic Mascara as faked by Penelope Cruz (dry as the Gobi desert)
1 Benefit Dr Feelgood tin (small scrape left at bottom)
1 small tub Sudocreme (bit grubby - for horses' use)
1 tube Clarins Beauty Flash Balm (new & unused)
1 tube Clarins Beauty Flash Balm (microscopic amount in end)

2 hair elastic things (totally stretched beyond use)
1 small metallic pink hairbrush (slightly chewed by puppies)
1 vial John Frieda Frizz Ease (all but empty)
1 thin gold sparkly hairband (in perfect condition)

2 60ml syringes in sterile packaging (poorly horse 2 wks ago - for antibiotics)
1 80ml syringe in sterile packaging (poorly horse 2wks ago - for antibiotics)
5 needles for above syringes (see poorly horse)
4 sachets of Phenylbutazone (horse version of Iboprufen)
1 100ml bottle Neomycin Suspension (Empty)
1 20ml tube Sedalin (5mls used - horse version of Prozac/Valium)

+/-7 Markies (in various states of crushedness)
1 Medium sized mesh Muzzle

1 packet of Toffos (half full)
1 packet of polos (unopened)
9 Murray Mints (loose)

1 copy of Lady Chatterley's Lover (paperback - very battered)
Several hundred random receipts. (well, it seemed like that many..)
1 black leather glove
A length of blue rope (? approx 8" long)

No wonder I have to literally heft my bag around.. I blame the Fashion Industry for the big bag thing.. If I was walking about with a Fendi Baguette style bag no amount of black arts would fit that lot into it! I would have to be streamlined in my needs...

What has everyone got in their bags ? *curious* I'm a the only one carrying around such a lot ??

Yes!! I have a DSLR I use most of the time, but my "HandbagCam" is pulled out when I see something pretty, on a night out, when the baby does something cute and my real camera isn't to hand, or when I hit someone else's car while driving (this has happened

)
