I misplaced a debit card the other day. I was positive I had put it in my wallet but it wasn't there, so finally I resorted to the old purse-dumping trick.
- My wallet
 - Two checkbooks and a savings book
 - Three pairs of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses
 - A tube of roll-on sunblock
 - bottle of Ibuprofen
 - bottle with a couple of allergy meds in it, just in case
 - a dozen hooks for pegboard
 - stain pens for quickie furniture repair
 - 6 ink pens, 2 markers, 1 pencil
 - 1 black light flashlight for checking for fluorescent glass
 - small tape measure
 
- a few sheets of peel-off price tags
 - foundation, blusher and mascara
 - three packs of breath strips and a thing of breath mints
 - half a roll of quarters
 - two pushpins
 - a case for business cards
 - extra camera battery
 - flash drive
 - cell phone
 - Kindle
 - scissors
 - about 25 receipts
 - spray bottle of olive oil scented with lavender oil
 - hairbrush and hairpick
 - safety pins
 - notepad
 - watch
 - the day's mail
 
This isn't a huge handbag by any means, but what it can hold is certainly impressive. I have to admit that most if it went right back in because it's stuff I need to have with me. Fortunately my wallet is one of those with a strap so I can pull it out and carry it alone.
So, what's in your purse?
(oh, the debit card was in my wallet after all, tucked in with a bunch of receipts)

I carry a little backpack-style leather purse, so it doesn't hold enough to get too cluttered, thank goodness. But my car, now, that's another story. I clean it out completely Spring and Autumn, but the other 363 days are quite a jumble.
ReplyDeleteI carry a wallet. or what I would have called a billfold. It holds my cash, my check book, my coins and my ID and credit cards. I do stew a bit about losing it but otherwise, I am feel liberated from a purse!!!
