I wish... we continue to have a bumper crop of salad ingredients, so that's become a bit of a staple over the last few weeks. Sausage and ham pie? Not so much, although it is exceedingly delicious. Recipe here, if that's not too much of a thread drift.

Same here, although in winter I add a little torch to my keys. If I need to carry more it'd be a briefcase usually with work stuff in.

Edited to add: I also carry a small bottle of Fireball in my briefcase in winter.

I don`t have sufficient material things to be able to list them (work - blackberry, expensive sunglasses etc)

I guess mine would be:

Keys;
Wallet; and
Pass for building.

All would apply to car or pockets.

Now if I was represting a named celebrity on way to court .....:p

No, why would there be?

I really have no idea. But I've seen them. In purses. Staring at me with small fangs showing and going "yip ... yip ... yip ... yip ... [repeat endlessly]"

So, statistically speaking, someone on here will have one.

Just waiting for the admission so I can interrogate further... I think dogs in purses is just plain wrong. They're always yappy little things with bulbous eyes that look like they're going to fall out if the dog gets overly-excited. They scare me. They scare me, but that's likely more to do with my ignorance, rather than them actually being something that is actually, really, "scary"..
