Handbag Chaos
I needed to find my cellphone the other day. I needed it RIGHT now, but do you think I could find the pesky thing? I juggled my Christmas shopping and searched one-handed while standing in the middle of a busy street, muttering under my breath. It was definitely time for a clean out!!
When I took everything out of my bag this is what I found:
1 x wallet
1 x plastic folder containing lotto tickets
2 x glasses cases - sunglasses plus driving glasses
1 x envelope containing signed bookmarks
1 x small makeup bag containing mostly lipsticks
1 x packet of tissues
1 x business card holder - it's new and I'm still practicing opening it so my cards don't fly out in a whoosh.
1 x PDA - contains ebooks
7 x pens
3 x raffle tickets from Romance writer's meeting
1 x old grocery shopping list
1 x Tictac mints
1 x Lush lip balm
3 x flashdrives containing backups
1 x Susan Elizabeth Phillips promo notepad
1 x chocolate fortune, which says "A conversation will reveal a secret."
1 x cellphone FINALLY!
And do you know what? After considering all the above, I decided every single thing was necessary and I put the whole lot back apart from the old shopping list and raffle tickets!!
Is your handbag in the same sad state as mine?

I'm sure my handbag is MUCH worse than yours.
Estella - are you sure????
It just couldn't be!!!
I got so tired of never being able to find stuff, that I bought this great hands-free purse that goes across my chest. It has pockets that makes sense, and an outside pouch for my cell phone. I love it.
Shoot, my bag used to get so full. And the bigger the bad, the more junk I would find to stuff in it. So what do I carry? Nothing! No purse, ever. If it can't fit in my inside jacket pocket, it doesn't get in the car with me.

PS - My kids think I'm nuts, but guess what? I'm the only one who can ever find anything! :D
I can never find what I need in my bag when I need it, lol.
My bag is as bad. My hubby says it weighs as much as a bowling ball.
I always used to carry around a small daypack since I needed to carry heaps of stuff for work such as the banking etc. I've only recently graduated to a handbag. And yes, it's a bit heavy. I figure it's a good way to exercise my arms!!
Cathie - a hands free purse sounds interesting. Do you have an online link so I can see exactly what you mean?
Sure, Shelley. I got it at QVC, the brand is Travelon. Just go to qvc.com and enter item F9809 in the search window. A great picture and description comes up. The price is so great, I get different colors that I can use year round. Have fun.
Oh, thanks! Off to check it out right now.
I looked just now. I've got
1 wallet
1 zippered bag to hold my wallet, a lip balm, lipstick, pens and change
1 tin citrus altoids
4 pens
assorted receipts and pieces of paper with phone numbers and grocery lists scribbled all over them
1 baggie of goldfish crackers
1 hot wheels car
1 pair of earrings
1 small notebad
