My handbag contents

Earlier this week I got sick of lugging around my handbag without really even knowing what was inside anymore. My shoulders hurt. So I tipped it out and sorted through the contents.

* One bottle of water (almost empty)
* One black moleskine 2008-2009 diary
* One Barbie wallet (almost falling apart) and loose change
* One emergency muesli bar for hungry children
* Mobile phone
* Keys with the face turned up to Adam’s and my wedding photo
* Two antacids
* One Monaco Bar wrapper
* Some business cards
* One hairband
* One plastic dinosaur
* One roll-on sunscreen
* Two lip glosses that are virtually the same shade
* Four pens, one being Keira’s new 5-in-1 colour pen (Very exciting for her, I remember my first one)

No wonder it was so heavy.
