I have been told off for having a massive handbag with many pockets

I keep keys phone tissues pens post it notes diary, wet wipes, make up, mints, hearing aid batteries, brush,mirror and a few other little bits.

How big is your handbag and what do you keep in it?

My handbag is huge - husband likens it to hand luggage.

Inside it is:

1. My Uxbridge Dictionary - to cheer me up on my journey to work

2. Big hairbrush - looks a bit like a horsebrush

3. Mobile phone

4. Purse

5. Inhaler

6. ID pass for work

7. A selection of pens

8. A few tampax (in case I get caught out)

9. My Oyster travelcard

10. My diary and MP3 player

11. Other bits of paper that mean nothing at all and I havent got rid of yet

12. Sun glasses

There is room for far more in my bag, in fact I could fit an overnight change should I want to.

sounds as bad if not worse than mine,

ooh I forgot to say deoderant and perfume

I dont have perfume or deo, but now you have reminded me, I shall get a small bottle of deodorant tomorrow.

It doesnt look alot in there at all really.

But it is a substantial handbag and one I am quite proud of.

I like mine too have tried small ones but they usually break after 1-2 months due to being over stuffed

I got a very small deo spray from superdrug if you in UK forgot to look where you are

Kim

Yes Im in UK and am due a Superdrug visit tomorrow.

Its so easy to overspend in that shop.

asher

whats the point of a handbag when you have pockets?

asher

pockets are not big enough to fit everything in

I very rarely use a handbag, I use my pockets

One for my mobile, one for money and one for cigarettes

magicsprout

im a handbag minimalist!

small bag

phone
small purse (big enough for cards and notes)
2 keys (which fit in purse)
pen

I dont like to carry things in my pockets - partly cos id be forever pulling my trousers up but also i dont need my hips or arse to look any bigger than they are!

I have what you'd call an average size handbag - most of the time it's half empty. Always has inside :-
purse, keys, oyster card, staff id pass, spare pair of contact lenses, hairbrush

and since becoming a mum - there is always a pack of tissues and normally a packet of sweets (for when bribery is required when we're out!)

My bag isn't that huge although I have got a fab one that is way too big and weigh's a ton even when its empty.

I normally have in it:

Purse
keys
sunglasses
ID badge for work
ipod
a few bits of makeup like lipgloss
pda
mobile phone
hairbrush
pens
tissues
a selection of receipts and other bits of paper
