My bag was a present last Christmas - from my wish list- but it's a bit annoying as it has so many pockets inside that things get stuck, but I was glad to have it as my last shoulder bag had got very tatty. It has a good long and wide strap for wearing cross body, just needs less inside and it would be a bit lighter.
So I unpacked my bag and I took out....................
Purse, phone, fold up shopping bag, reading glasses, pen, the olive wood cross that I've carried for years, paracetamol, tatty tissues (ugh), old shopping lists (?), a small notebook, Cheque book (can't remember when it was last used), a small lipstick holder thingy that holds lip-salve and a teeny pair of fold-up scissors and, at the bottom of the bag a handy £1 coin....now back in the purse.
The tissues and shopping lists were chucked but the rest is back in and I'll keep carrying everything else - just in case!
Back Tomorrow
My mother carried the 'motherbag' when she was out with us when we were younger. My 'teacher bag' weighed a ton, without any teaching stuff inside.
ReplyDeleteA very typical collection for many of us.
ReplyDeleteEssential contents: phone, purse, hankie, pen, keys. 30 years ago there would also have been a diary, and often a camera - but these are on my phone now.
ReplyDeleteI favour a ‘handbag’ nowadays. The gradual metamorphosis into my mother is now complete!
