    Advantages Advantages I don't have one

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I don't have one

    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 beneath my eyes. You don't need special insight, No expertise in rockets, To guess that, being just a man, I keep stuff in my pockets. But if I ... more

    5 Stars Uh-oh, moving! Review with images 24/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quite touching towards the end. Genuinely got me thinking!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's quite scary in places!

    This isn't going to be like all the other "What's in my bag" reviews, I can tell you that now. It isn't going to be a nice "Ooh, look at my cherry lip gloss and a receipt from Sainsbury's" piece. It won't come up with fake "There may or may not be a human hand", and it certainly won't be "I have a book and a tape and a mp3 player lol" article. Oh no, nothing like that at all. Are you interested yet? I hope so. I bet you're wondering why this one's so different, aren't you? Well, it is really quite simple. See, I actually started a small piece when I first joined Ciao a couple of years ago as a ... more

    3 Stars Madness, is what's inside 14/10/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Books and child related paraphenalia

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's a helluva mess

    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 packets infiltrate. The contents are thus: DIARY Recently met up again with an old mate from school I haven’t seen in years, and when she saw my ... more

    5 Stars A Haaaaand-bag? Review with images 21/10/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A better understanding of disabilities? - my 40th Review

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The dis-organisation of my dyspraxia is painfully evident.

    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 occasion? This might contain a lipstick/mascara for touching up that ‘glamorous’ special evening “look” and a pen and mini pad of paper for ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages More manly than a bag

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I still think I may have forgotten to bring something

    First up. I cheat. I am a man and refuse to join the metrosexual revolution by carrying a "man bag" and so I rely on the traditional means of stuff transportation i.e. my pockets. Like women, I carry a lot of "essentials" in my pockets and hence have to buy trousers with large ones! Anyway, onto the specifics: Left Pocket A Pursuit 2009 wristband I recently attended a conference which required attendees to wear a blue wristband (like those "Live Strong" and "Make Poverty History" ones everyone wore a few years back in a fit of fake compassion) to show that they were registered. I found this ... more

    5 Stars ♣ Calling All Peeping Toms ♣ Review with images 19/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's mine and it's now a lot lighter.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I let you have a peep you nosey wotsits.

    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 enough. It is a bit like the Mary Poppins style bag, small but cavernous with two small handles, for a sophisticated carry in left or right hand ... more

    Advantages Advantages i could run away without needing to go home!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages if it got nabbed i'd be up sh*t creek without a paddle!

    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 further i must let you know that i have soooo many bags it's ridiculus, and because of the frequency of change, they do tend to collect alot of crap ... more

    3 Stars A Handbag of Little Importance 01/11/2004
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages I know what's in it today

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I won't know again tomorrow

    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 might be using them?; no handbag – no diary, how would I know what I should be doing?; no handbag – no address book, how many people would I lose ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Um .. U no wats in my bag

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    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 the side! I got this bag from Primark and if I remember correctly it cost about £4.00 bargin! Lol! IN THE BAG: A Hairbrush: It's just a simple black ... more

    Advantages Advantages Look in da bag, man

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Look in da bag, man

    Well…erm…hello again. Isn't it strange how fings turn out? I has bin gone since March 05 and then Greenfield e-mail me to say that all their future questionnaire thingies.....y'know - surveys - will be channelled through Ciao from 2006...and they will be opening an account for me. They even chose the imaginative username "marandina2". Oh, you may not know but I used to be "marandina" in a former Ciao life amongst other aliases. Ho hum....I'll post this and see if anyone reads. If they don't then I'll pack my bag (see the link) and clear orf elsewhere then...... Isn't it fascinating to know ... more
