I honestly believe I would buy a pen with "British Gas" on it, and when people asked about it, I'd tell them, "It's what you get after eating pub food."

Haste ye back, waffle. It's awfully dull without you in our lives.

Hope that it's something good that is keeping you away from us, like parties, travels or a job that earns you a hell of a lot of money. And hope you have a minute for us soon!

Waffle! Has the handbag of doom swallowed you alive? Hope you've also survived "Hallowin" OK!

I have no idea what's in my handbag. All I do know is that if I peer inside from a distance it looks like the inside of a skip, and that last time I drove anywhere and put it on the passenger seat, the car nagged it to put a seatbelt on.

Handbag to boring to list, but once berated journalist for asking my boss questions not previously discussed and was irritated at the way he smiled politely. Only realised three hours later that the nibbles provided at event had left lovely trail of poppy seeds between all my teeth. All of them.

several nail varnish pots (blue,green,red) ,nail varnish remover just in case I have a change of mind,mismatched earrings, (clean) knickers (One of my worst nightmare would be having to stay somewhere overnight and not being able to change lingerie) ,tons of 2 pence pieces and belgian francs(?), polo's and the usual crumbled cookie covered hot wheel toy car...

Mum always told me that my dad once sent me to school half naked, having only my skirt and tiny undershirt on.Luckily,I was then three and don't remember this at all but it sure could have been very embarrassing ! ps : What day is seitan balls ? can't see it on the menu and I want to make sure they've got awfully good pizzas that night ;)

A t-shirt (worn when cleaning a friend's house), a pack of kleenex, a pen, the shrink wrap from a new pack of hearing aid batteries, and a program from the PEN/Faulkner reading by Emma Donoghue and Chris Adrian this past Monday night.

I recently enjoyed a family fish and chip night at kindergarten until one of the teachers kindly informed me that I had split the rear of my jeans. Spent the rest of the evening with my jacket tied round my waist....

2011-11-08T16:54:40.332+01:00

I hate my D&C bag given to me by generous co-workers who thought I needed something beside a "Target wallet on a string" - curses on their generosity. I call it the "black hole" since I can never find anything it. . . .most recently - lost several pairs of contact lens in cases, found a deposit I should have made several days ago - afraid to check my bank balance now - and a pair of cotton granny pants - details of which I will spare you. Don't despair - I had many good years with only my wallet - childrearing is the main cause of "purse distress"- I should know - I had four!

3 notebooks, a (crap) US phone, a (really crap) UK phone, a wallet filled with dollars, an empty wallet meant to hold sterling, 10,000 squashed recipts, The Fry Chronicles, a packet of pastel pens (to make to do lists less terrifying), squashed Metro cards, all containing $1 or less, leaking makeup/lip glosses, 3 pairs of sunglasses, despite it not being sunny, one glove, lots of crumbs, packet of chocolate buttons.

Not being an habitual handbag user I am disqualified from that bit, but I can trump your animated window display. our local isenkram (difficult to translate - purveyor of household goods. Think; Timothy Whites) has a wooden chest in the window out of which is peering the severed head of an enormous and very pissed-off-looking deer (well, wouldn't you be?). I can't quite work out the message. Maýbe its something like "Buy some stuff or we'll arrange to have a severed deer head put in your bed".

Nastiest thing in my handbag is a cough sweet - partially sucked by my son, deemed disgusting and spat into the corner of a paper hankie.

Most interesting thing in my handbag - the discovery that I have seven biro pens and two pencils.

Look, I didn't say HOW interesting, did I?

Stuffed fox. Terrifying.

2011-11-04T22:53:49.106+01:00

I have bandaids (plasters), a nail clipper, tweezers, a collapsible toothbrush, dental tooth picks, safety pins, aspirin, hand wipes, a tiny travel deodorant AND several panty liners -- ALL stuffed into a small zippered bag in my handbag thanks to a drugged-influenced road trip nearly 40 years ago when we giddily decided to drive from Toronto to Montreal for the weekend, taking nothing but the clothes on our backs.
It still freaks me out -- obviously.

A mould-covered medicine spoon from a now absent bottle of calpol. On closer inspection it is actaully a fluff-covered medicine spoon. Slightly less disgusted with myself.

I find it v comforting that I am clearly not the only handbag slut in the cybersphere. Crusty tissues - check; pants (son's; now dry but recall they weren't when they went in there) - check; sticks, stones and various other things which might break my bones - check; party invitations for the boy's bday ten days ago - check; various half-eaten biscuits etc - check; one shoe of each of the boy and the girl - check; and my favourite - a small tube holding a piece of my knee cartilage in formaldehyde - check. I think it's time to get a smaller handbag.

Many years ago, when I was a student, I once spent a whole morning in the library (!!). Came out of it, walked for a bit, got on a bus, went home. Everybody everywhere staring at me. I thought I must look gorgeous, even after my studious morning.
Had a long biro line on my cheek. Can't believe nobody told me.
