    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
