What's in my bag?

While awaiting inspiration for a new review, I remembered that this one was overdue for an update. Although I rewrote it a year or so ago for Dooyoo, to include selected items from handbag reviews posted over there, I never got round to revising the Ciao version. So here it is. All the articles mentioned appeared in reviews by women on one site or the other. * What have I in my handbag? I mustn't tell you lies; In truth the only bags I own Are those ...
...No expertise in rockets, To guess that, being just a man, I keep stuff in my pockets. But if I now said: "Nothing! So there, and that’s your lot!" You might not feel satisfied And rate this Helpful – Not. * In any case, the subject Has made me realise how Much women carry in their bags - On Dooyoo as on Ciao. Just read the lists they've posted; They might make your eyes pop, Bring gasps from deep within your throat, And cause your jaw to drop. It's ...

Review of What's in my bag?

...here and there. But hello, what's this? I think I found the source of the smell. I have just found my old PE kit, unwashed, and VERY VERY SMELLY! It consists of a now rock hard pair of tracksuit bottoms and a once-white T-shirt, wrapped around a pair of ancient mud caked trainers. Both items of clothing are plastered with mud. I guess it must have been rugby on my last day, and in my excitement I forgot to clean the kit. The T-shirt is solid to ...
...for a while. But hello, what's this? I see a small Tupperware box, with a blue lid. The once clear box is splattered with black completely. A foul stench is pouring out from the corners as I attempt to ease it open. Slowly, it dawns on me what I am holding... I pull the lunchbox out into the open. Examining it closer with a finger and a thumb tightly squeezing my nose shut, I can see there are a few patches where the dark mould coating the interior ...

Review of What's in my bag?

Have just read my sister’s handbag contents review and have marvelled at the useful items that are, no doubt, arranged in an organised manner and all in their separate compartments. My own patchwork bag, on the other, needs a patch sewn up before it falls off and has no compartments whatsoever. I try to keep things neat by dividing everything with my diary, but such organisation lasts for about an hour until the empty Smarties tubes and cigarette ...
...Recently met up again with an old mate from school I haven’t seen in years, and when she saw my diary she cracked up. ‘Still the same old Jasmine!’ (Really. People don’t just say that in books) Where would you be without your diary?’ in 1987, probably. I even got out old photo’s of us together and, after laughing at this ex boyfriend who had to be dumped because he smelled musty, and this guy who lost weight and was now seriously gorgeous and this ...

Review of What's in my bag?

When I first saw this challenge, I thought – there is NO WAY I can do THIS challenge. For a start, Which one of my ‘handbags’ do I choose? Or do I bore you all completely by listing the contents of every one? And what is the question REALLY asking? Do you ALL really want a listing of the contents of a bag that may or may not be in daily use? For instance, do you want the contents of my ‘evening bag’ – which might only see the light of day on a special ...
...that ‘glamorous’ special evening “look” and a pen and mini pad of paper for those ‘all-important’ notes you always want to jot down when you are out. Well, that would hardly fill the prerequisite 120 words (what I have written so far, including my introduction and this ‘aside’ is 153 words!). Or there is the ‘handbag’ which sits on the side merely collecting bills, bank/card statements, till receipts and so-forth: these await a convenient moment ...

Review of What's in my bag?

...I can keep track of what's what (I'm a man, so my memory doesn't work so good for "trivial" things like appointments!). == Back Pocket == === My wallet === As a kid, I always used to think people carrying wallets in their back pockets were stupid but as I have grown older and have had to carry more "essential" stuff, I have realised just how valuable pocket real estate is. Subsequently I have taken to utilising the extra space supplied by the ...
...I would like to know why only rear pockets are constructed to take square items like wallets, as those who overload their front pockets tend to get strange bulges in their thighs anyway.... As for wallet contents; a £20 note - a genuine rarity as I never have cash, I got this for my birthday recently from my mother-in-law. Two credit cards, 1 debit card, library card, Tesco club card, 2 x 5p pieces (also retrieved from the washing machine on a previous ...

Review of What's in my bag?

Oh look it's my fiftieth review and how better to celebrate than do a deep and meaningful review on the contents of my bag. So for voyeurs and nosey parkers everywhere come and take a peep into the black hole. My bag is only a few months old. It's black and has silver bits on the strap and a little Fiorelli label which I shall refer to again later. If Italian isn't your strong point then just combine the words 'Phwoar ' and 'Welly' and you're near ...
...style bag, small but cavernous with two small handles, for a sophisticated carry in left or right hand mode or sexy slung over the left or right shoulder look. There are no exterior pockets so would be robbers can't slip their paws in for a quick steal. I do in fact keep a good grip on mine since a toad stole all my worldly goods in a café a couple of years back. OK let's unzip and get stuck in. I'll just start with a deep delve and see what lurks ...

Review of What's in my bag?

well, having my usual wander around ciao, i came across this and though "why not" I'm bored so this might keeo me entertained for a while, and doesn't require too much brain power (good job as mine has officially left home!) Anyway might keep me entertained, don't know about you lot though!! My current bag (todays bag) is a lovely little green number (don't puke....it went with my dress for work!) from......oh yeah, per una!! Now before i go any ...
...many bags it's ridiculus, and because of the frequency of change, they do tend to collect alot of crap!!! So if this goes on, im sorry but i'm being truthfull.....so here goes 1- My diary...well the first one...2006...it's a black , slimline day to page one from WHSmiths. It's very tattered (been a busy year!) and is full of appointments, meetings, random telephone numbers, and even more random rendevouz!!!! I'd be lost without it....brain like ...

Review of What's in my bag?

At 5.20 p.m. on a wet Saturday afternoon I was slowly making my way up hill from the shopping centre to the car, weighed down by 5 or 6 carrier bags holding the day’s purchases, when I realised something terrible had happened. My handbag was missing. In a split second my brain made a frightening set of connections: no handbag – no car key, can’t drive home; no handbag – no money, can’t pay for taxi or bus home; no handbag – no credit cards, who ...
...how would I know what I should be doing?; no handbag – no address book, how many people would I lose contact with?; no handbag – no house key, no way in even if I could get home. The shops were shutting; the car park would soon be locked, too. I have rarely felt so helpless. It still seems like only yesterday – and yet it was over twenty years ago. Ten minutes later, having somehow found enough presence of mind to work out that I must have had my ...

Review of What's in my bag?

I love bags, I don't have money at the moment to buy any, but I have got a blue one, a brown one and a white one! I mainly use my blue one because it has more space than the other ones! THE BAG: Right the actual bag itself is quite long but not very big. It has a zip down the middle to the big compartment of the bag and then has a small zip on the side for lil private things! Lol! It has three pockets one on each end of the bag and then one down ...
...I remember correctly it cost about £4.00 bargin! Lol! IN THE BAG: A Hairbrush: It's just a simple black hairbrush! It's good and handy because I hate having knots in my hair so everytime it gets messy or knotty I can just brush it so it's good! Lol! No matter what bag I use I have to have a hairbrush in it. A Flip Mirror This is in my lil zip bit in the main compartment. I have to have a mirror because you never know when you may have to re-do ...

Review of What's in my bag?

...Isn't it fascinating to know what's in someone's bag? D'yer know, I'll bet whole volumes of psychoanalysis could be dedicated to the contents of people's bags. I'm convinced that you get murder scenes where the killer's purse is left carelessly not far from the scene of the crime and FBI profilers pour over the contents as much as the forensic dudes do trying to build up a psychological picture of the perp (short for perpetrator in crime speak don'tcha ...
...Tesco adorned on it. Well, what's the point of briefcases anyway? Most execs just have their sarnies in there, you know? Nothing else, just their ham and pickle or cheese and tomato sandwiches probably made lovingly by her-indoors the previous night. No, convention is not for me. I'm kind to the environment and recycle one of our bountiful plastic carrier bags and take it to work. Granted, it's not great for me image when the Head of the company ...

...my ticket wasn't checked once. What's the point eh? Next is a letter to my friend Holly who is doing a year abroad in France as part of her degree. I really need to post that. Next is my diary, not my tell-all-my-secrets-to diary, but my schedule diary. I would be lost without this, not only do I write all my social goings on in it but all my lecture times and all that jazz. I would definitely sleep through everything without this little baby. ...
...be completely and utterly in despair if I lost this. My phone is a Sharp gx15, but I'm cancelling my contract with Vodafone and moving over to o2 this month so soon I shall have a brand new phone! Exciting stuff. Next is my mp3 player. I'm not one of those ipod kids, my mp3 player is a creative zen xtra. For days when I'm mooching around in lectures and what have you I don't usually take this with me, as my lecture buildings are about 5 minutes ...

Review of What's in my bag?

I've been wanting to write this review for a long time, so here we go... Today I am using my green corduroy bag which I received as a present a short time ago. It's a really nice bag because it's kinda slouchy and therefore big enough to fit everything in, but at the same time I don't look any less chic because it's got this nice scarf tied together to make up the handle/strap. Its one of those less complicated bags with only one section and what ...
...things that are liable to get lost in such a cavernous bag. The inside lining fabric also matches the strap, so its jsut as pleasing for the bag-user to look at as it is for others observing the bag-user. So, what do I have in my bag? It's an everyday bag - so I need everything in it... and the first thing I've dug out in my rummaging is.. My Umbrella - very handy for protecting my hair when I've spent ages actually bothering to do it for a night ...

...you as I can't remember what's in there, if anything. Sorry to disappoint but after that build up all I find is a crumpled up tissue, a very soft one at that which strangely enough is still clean, so that one can stay in there. **BIG ZIP UP COMPARTMENT** Again, apart from my cheque book I'm not sure what else is in here. I've decided to use this review also as a tidying up my bag project. You never know by the end I may decided to buy myself a ...
...you tell about me from what's in my bag? I'm suprised actually as there are no dirty tissues, no wet wipes, no suncream wipes & only one hair band! Well at least now my bag is tidy & clean, so I won't have to buy a new one for at least another year :-) Thanks for reading. Vicki (definately not James!) ...

Review of What's in my bag?

Ok - I've seen lots of people writing about what is in their bag, so I thought I would give it a go as well, as it makes a change from writing a review about a product. ~~ The packaging ~~ My handbag is made from a black material and has lots of different compartments in it. ~ The plot ~~ At the bottom of the bag is a zip for a useful umbrella compartment. I open it up and to my surprise find there is actually and umbrella in there!! I don't ...
...times I've gotten wet whilst out in the rain ….. There is a velcro compartment on the one side, in which to keep a mobile phone. For some reason, I never use this, I always tend to put it in the main part of the bag. On this side there is also a zip section. I open this and find an empty blister pack of MuCron, a pen and two press on towels - which have been in there since before I was pregnant with my daughter. I think I need to clear out my bag ...

Qué hay en mia bolsa? Was gibt's in meinem Sack? Qu'est-ce qu'il y a dans mon sac? OK, that's the poly-glottal padding over with - now then, what is there really in my bag? Well, like most men, I don't normally have any need for a bag - well, that's not quite true; it's more a case of men having to make do with pockets 'cos that's all there is. They tried launching handbags for men a while back, but the gender-bending implications meant that in ...

'My bag', such as it is, goes everywhere with me when I'm doing my part-time job of Cycling Instructor around local schools. It's got hooks, which in theory make it suitable for use as a cycle pannier, useful if - a) you've got a bike with a carrier, and b) if you're actually using it. Generally speaking, though it gets used as a shoulder bag, ...
