An old bag
I've had enough frustration for one day so onto something lighter.
Kaptain Kobolds hilarious post concerning the contents of his work bag got me considering the contents of my own handbag. Scary stuff!!
We women are notorious for the array of necessities we lug around with us on a daily basis and I'm no different. In fact, even at home my handbag is the centre of my life's organisation and contains everything I think I could possibly require both on a day to day basis and also in the event I should ever have to rush off at a moments notice! Many years I have been prepared thus but so far that moments has not materialised. None the less the bag remains in readiness and from it I seem to run my life.
And so I thought, we women bloggers, should for the amusement of others, divulge the contents of these infamous items and what we decree as indispensable items. You guys are not excluded. Should you be the proud possessor of a 'work bag' or some other receptacle you could not do without feel free to join in.
One rule: you have to be honest!
So here goes....the contents of gemmak's handbag laid bare:
Description: Surprisingly small black leather Tula bag, rectangular, short shoulder strap. No L.V. for me, I don't much care for then and if I did I couldn't possibly afford one!
Contents: Purple leather purse, driving licence, old pay slips,various receipts,a space pen (you never know when you're going to need to write underwater),car keys (two off), house keys,sundry 'feminine' items, hair wax,lip gloss,tweezers, nail file,another pen,ventolin inhaler, packet of cigarettes (should I have listed those together???) two lighters, (there is nothing worse than not having a light), emergency food (a chocolate biscuit and a tiny box of raisins), lip balm, a swiss army knife (used mostly to cut the top off packets of peanut M&M's)magnifying mirror, wrigley's extra thin ice, PDA (containing my life along with various photos, videos of my nieces and cats, MP3's and at least 10 ebooks should I ever be stranded). How I intend to recharge it on a desert island or in times of disaster I haven't yet worked out. A mobile phone and a USB memory stick.
Did I say 'a small bag'.....do I really carry all that around with me 24/7???
Your turn.

Mine is very boring by comparison! Purse, chequebooks (2), small hairbrush, zipped bag containing a variety of headache pills, sore throat lozenges and Migraine ice stick, shopping list, pen and that's it!
Still lovin' you, Scottie!
My work bag contains various forms for reporting everything from wrong signals to train malfunctions to lost and recovered items. Incident and accident forms as well. (Object struck: pedestrian or motor vehicle?)
A great, big, bulky, heavy, book of rules, practices and regulations. Five packets of chewing gum. Tums. Nine pens. One pencil. One black marker. An assortment of keys for train operation. A tiny bag of potato chips (crisps) long ago reduced to dust. The remaining half of Maggie's Mars Bar. And the most indispensible item of all: A small pillow. So I can sleep on the morning run to Hamilton.
