What I Have in My Handbag... and Why!
Thanks for the ideas, guys. The handbag idea has caught my fancy. But you know, this might become embarassing. Oh, what the hell, in for a penny and all that!
Okay,
Main Compartment (Takes a deep breathe and dives in):
1. Cell phone charger - for obvious reasons! The damn things always go flat when you least expect it. This skinny little cord is a bit of a pain though, it's strangling everything else and me.
2. A box of .... damn, it just got embarassing. Well, tampons damn it, if you must know! Again, for obvious reasons. Note to self: Must remember to take this out of bag.
3. A cheque book - purely for show, it serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever!
4. Lots of long blonde hairs... I wonder how they got in there.
5. A sheet of A4 paper... what's this? Oh, With the lyrics of an ACDC song, Let There Be Rock which I got from The Viking. Sentimental reasons I guess.
6. A purse... well, that's kind of self-explanatory, right? With lots of slips in but no cash and my driver's license, and cards, and business cards.
7. An aerosol can of ... Fire & Ice Liaison perfume body spray - to disguise the cigarette smell when I have to pop in to Maw and Paw.
8. A full pack of Camel Lights - you never know when you are going to run out.
*Throws useless piece of paper away - chequebook re-order slip*
*Throws another useless piece of paper away - slip from Postnet Glenfair*
*And yet another useless piece of paper away - silver paper from cigarette box*
9. A nice black gel pen - for making notes for my blog.
10. A hair comb... no, not the one to go into my long socks but one of those grip thingies. My hair has a mind of its own and I hate it when it gets into my eyes when I am working.
11. A hair grip... one of those crocodile grip types, for the same reasons as stated in 10.
11. A Turnbulls Mint from Square Time which I got when I went out with The Viking on Saturday night.
In the zip up pocket inside the main compartment:
1. An ID book with my mug shot in it.
2. A fake Leatherman... because I am just that kind of girl and besides, you never know when you are going to need pliers.
3. A pocket knife, because it has got a bottle opener (very important because when I drink beer I drink Windhoek Lager or Tafel Lager and they don't have screw tops), a corkscrew (very, very important) and lots of blades.
Front Pocket 1:
It's empty but it is usually where my cell phone sleeps.
Front Pocket 2: My First Aid Kit
1. Floss - there is nothing worse than having half a cow stuck between your teeth.
2. Headache Tablets - because I permanently have a headache.
3. Eye drops - my eyes are always red.
4. Labello Med LipIce - I've got sensitive lips.
5. A tablet holder... with one antibiotic in it. So that is where it went!
Front Pocket 3:
It's also empty but it's where my sunglasses sleep.
Side Pocket 1:
Oh yum! A large selection of sweeties from various restaurants. Eeeewww, some of them are a bit old, gross!
Side Pocket 2:
Um, it's empty except for a packet of gum with one bean left in it.

Thrown my card away already? That's cold.
Way to go Katt! You outstrip me in handsak contents......you have a little shop in there. Start a roadside stall or something.
That's a lot of stuff.
Kyk: Waddya mean! It's framed and hanging above my desk... okay, it will be when I get home, okay!
TwoFlower: Thanks for stopping by. Um, it's a biggish bag, one of those floppy things that take on bulk. I bought it because I always land up carrying the contents of the boyfriend's pockets as well as my stuff.
Geena: Thanks for the tip. I am going to become a hawker on the street corner.
Umbreon: Thanks for stopping by to you to. It sure is... and the thing is it's only got half the junk in it I usually carry around. There is usually about two books in there two as well as a notepad to go with the gel pen.
Great post. Fun to read! You could do a whole movie on the handbag ... Kyknoord could write the screenplay, natch! ; )
Smooch,
The Tart
The Tart: Thanks for gracing my blog with your rather glam looking presence. I love the piccie.
Hm, how do you think Kyk would figure The Offending Box into the script?
I'm so glad you also carry a Leatherman and a pocket knife in your bag - now I don't feel quite as guilty (or quite as deficient in feminine graces) about being the first port of call whenever anyone at work needs a tool or an open bottle of beer. I blame my parents, obviously - my father must have given me a Swiss Army Knife every year for about a decade - including the one with the fork, spoon and fold-out tent. I really wanted a pony.
Broadzilla: Oh cool! I also got Swiss Army knives for birthdays. Feminine graces, is that a French dish?
Hmmm. Sounds more like a trio of drag queens. And it must be an E. Cape thing - the knives. I'm not sure if my dad imagined I might need to trap and skin something on my way to school - but there you go. Actually, P.E. was pretty 'wild', now that I look back...
