My handbag is really empty at the moment (just changed over from the green Monsoon monstrosity I had been using for the past few weeks - big enough to fit my laptop and everything else, it's no wonder my back is in bits) so here goes.

No, no, sorry, it's not an actual hand, it's a Thomas Hardy novel. I was reading it and Persuasion before Christmas, but then I got Being Elizabeth Bennet and I've been reading it repeatedly since (it's a bit like the game books we used to play with when we were kids, but Austen-y, and you don't need dice).

I got a new handbag for Christmas which I've been taking care of as it's my first semi-designer handbag ever, so all that's in it is my little makeup bag, ipod, headphones, wallet, chewing gum, lip balm, and keys.

If it were one of my old bags it would be filled halfway with receipts, change, wrappers, scribbled on bits of paper, and everything would be covered in shiny sticky crap from the tubes of lip gloss that seem to explode everywhere

After a night out at a function/party my bag has: 2 empty plastic shot glasses, one full of jelly, one can of cider (????), my purse, crumpled 20 euro notes and lots of coins lying around, a lot of colourful confetti, lipgloss, make up bag, perfume and tissues.

I have two bags in use.

1: Dog walk bag

Plastic pick-up-****e bags
Dettol wipes for hands
Leash
Treats
Ball
Inhaler in plastic bag




2: Regular use bag

Sub-bag with Palm and fold-out keyboard in one side, and Shuffle, earphones and turn-your-phone-into-a-radio lead in the other; one of the zippers has a Hello Kitty attached on a string.

Occasionally sub-bag with makeup, but mostly this stays at home

Wallet with bus cards, credit and debit cards, DVD shop card, library card, HSE card, picture of the loved, about €100 in notes and change, the euros in one half of the purse, the nickel in the other (coppers go home to a savings jar)

Sub-bag with papers currently in use - credit card bill to be paid, car insurance and driver's licence, passport with e-ticket for upcoming trip (must take that out), bank receipts from lodging money, pen and highlighter

Inhaler, lipstick, comb
Book currently being read
Phone in back pocket

(This sounds like a lot, but oddly it all fits neatly into a smallish bag.)

Ok, so every time I get a new bag I have the best intentions to keep it all nice and clean and free of junk, but give me a week and it’s littered with chewing gum wrappers, cinema ticket stubs, empty lip glosses etc, not to mention makeup stains in the fabric.. I’d be mortified if anyone had to go through my bag to find something… Am I the only one who’s like this or is it a common thing?

Femelade

once i found an un - used tampon that had come out of its wrapper in my bag..it had been in there for months!

Katie23

I am the same way with my handbag. At the end of the week I try and clean out my bag but it seems like it is a weekly chore to do. I wish I could have a clean handbag everyday instead of only one day a week.

missmatty

No, happens me too. Bit embarassing but luckily as far as I know, no-one would be looking in my bag to see it !

xzanti

Thank God

Pigletlover

I'm the same. I change bags regularly and only take out the essentials - phone, keys, wallet, pill, bronzer and brush, so all the other crap gets left behind - receipts, wrappers, small change, chewing gum etc. I'd hate for someone to go through my bag, there could be anything in there.
