What's in my handbag?

I'm taking part in the "What's In Your Handbag?" Tumblr project from BritMums for three reasons:
  1. I want to show off my new handbag again.
  2. I cannot believe how much my new handbag needed tidying out after just twenty days of use 
  3. I'm a nosy sod and think that if I'm having a look in other people's bags then they should be able to see in mine
I did a similar blog post about 18 months ago and nothing much changes really.  But do you know what the weirdest thing is?  The fact that I've streamlined the contents but increased the size of bag.  I need a smaller handbag really but I'm too much in love with the MiaTui to downsize at the moment.


Apologies for the lack of quality of picture but I had to take it with the Flip camera.  This is what is in my handbag at the moment:


From the top, moving down in rows (sort of):
  • My gorgeous MiaTui handbag (see the picture above - you can stroke or lick the screen, it's allowed).
  • Business cards, anti-bacterial hand wash, wide toothed comb, large sunglasses (£1 from Primark), Parker pen, chewing gum, MiaTui minibag which I keep paperwork in, car keys, office keys, house keys.
  • Notebook, HTC phone, clear MiaTui bag (housing roll-on deoderant, cheap emergency lip gloss, Stila lipshine (colour: Traci - great moisturising lippy) and the mirror from my Pink Lining bag), red leather purse (of which the contents are a whole other blog post).
  • Notepad (freebie from Cybermummy - great for idea scribbles on the move), my Filofax (currently using the Personal Spring Green Chameleon), a wallet with extra payment/reward/library cards in, passport (needed for ID at the bank this week after my debit card was cloned).
Missing in action are:
  • My petrol points card, the paying-in bank book for work, my headphones, a small bottle of perfume, my Open University books (after putting my studies on hold), my aloe vera Vaseline lip therapy, blister pack of paracetamol (used the last one a couple of days ago), small pack of plasters.

So, what's in your handbag or manbag?  If you write about it leave me a link in the comments so I can nip over and have a nosy.

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
