The other night my friend went through my handbag looking for something and then afterwards she gave me a few weird looks. I happened to have had a few items in there which most probably do not belong in a typical girls handbag. It just occurred to me that this must run in my family. My grandmother is famous for her overloaded crazy handbag. Anything you want – you will find in grandma’s bag! I call it the ‘bag of tricks’ I swear her handbag weighs more than she does!! I once asked my mum for money, she just looked at me, looked at her handbag, and said, ‘honey, I just don’t have the strength to go in there right now…’
Terrified that I might end up like that, I emptied my handbag!
So here are the items I found:
1) 6 month old exam results. Yikes. They weren’t even good! You don’t want to carry around results like that! (But there was a very important phone number on the back so I had to keep it and I just never got around to dot it down somewhere else…)
2) a mini magnifying glass. (eh, I can’t explain that one ..)
3) and a mini stapler ( hey, you never know when you might need one of those… :-P
4) 5 Canadian cents. I have never been to Canada, nor do I know anyone from there. I don’t know anyone who’s ever even been to Canada! This one really has me stumped!
5) An expired gift voucher. Damn damn damn.
6) Packets of ketchup I took from a restaurant. What? So I like ketchup..
7) I also found some shoe laces and coffee beans. OMG.(no comment.)
Do you have any items in your handbag which don’t really agree with the international code of girl’s handbag contents,.. or am I the only perpetrator?

I just have 5 minutes more until back to work so I have no time to tell you about ALL stuff I have on my handbag! i’ll do it later:DD
But i have soooo many things in there that all my handbags have to be HUUGE!!:DD
And very often when someone makes a call to my mobile phone I spent so much time trying to find it that when i finally got it the person already rang off :D

lol @ santi.
How is it women need to carry all that, while a man only needs a wallet and his keys??
TinyBubbles said on May 24, 2006 13:29:
Yeah but why is it tho that while men only have a wallet and keys, they struggle so much to find the key (and wallet!!) when it is needed :p
