smiley - laughProbably!! I probably have more important things in there too, I just can't find 'em! (Mind you if they really were important, I'd make the effort to tidy my bag to find them!!) Maybe I will one day, when I get a spare decade.. Also, is it just me, or does anyone else out there think 'I'll get a smaller bag so I don't carry so much junk around' only to end up with several bags of junk?!smiley - huh

I carry a tiny bag which just about holds the necessities - in fact it doesn't quite hold the necessities, so .................... I bought a sort of bigger man bag type of courier bag - and now I have my handbag in a bigger bag which holds all the stuff that doesn't fit in my handbag.smiley - handbag If you see what I mean. smiley - erm

Perhaps I should consider therapy before I buy one of those trolley things to tow my little bag in my bigger bag.smiley - rofl

smiley - laughI have a tote bag which I got as a freebie from the shopping centre in Ilford which contains.......
1. 4 (at least!) umbrellas.
2. 3 (at least!) magazines.
3. 1 large box of M&S Shortbread biccies (nearly finished)

And finally (drumroll please....)
The aforementioned small bag with all the receipts in!!! Not surprisingly the tote bag is beginning to split with all the rubbish I force it to carry!smiley - biggrin
I don't know about you needing to consider therapy, but I definitely do!!smiley - ermsmiley - laughsmiley - smiley
