I've just realized that I carry around everything BUT the kitchen sink in my purse!


Besides the normal stuff (money, credit cards/debit...ect) I also have my glasses case, eye drops, 2 contact cases, about 1,000 hair ties and clips, just in case it gets warm and I have to put up my hair!
A gazillion reciepts from stuff I don't know what it is anymore, cell phone (obviously), 3 sets of my car keys, John's motorcycle spare key and a bunch of keys for my parents house back home - coupons for kitty food, checks to be mailed, 2 small sized hand lotions, sanitizer, 2 bottles of small sized perfume, makeup (foundation, eye liner, lip gloss) and about 5 pens


Please tell me that I'm not the only one that carries about a gazillion things in their purse everyday


I try to clean it out, but it always ends up with junk in it again and again!

I use to...but I have gotten a smaller purse...just for that purpose because I would carry everything!! I now only have my wallet (which I just got a smaller one), a brush (a must!!), makeup, keys, and a mirror (another must).

I am sure that when I have children I will probably have a huge purse!!

I just got the most adorable purse last weekend.
I usually carry some kind of gum, a small bottle of lotion, keys, wallet/change, some kind of lipgloss/chapstick, a pair of nail clippers, hair ties, hair clips, my cellphone, and there is usually about 1,000 crumpled gum wrappers and other things at the bottom by the end of the week..

My purse is actually a diaper bag. Its actually quite chic, but rather big. So on any given day I've got wallet, keys, phone, bandaids, baby tylenol, thermometer, fingernail clippers, diapers, wipes, sippy cups, and sucker wrappers in it!

When I actually go out wihtout my kids I carry a much smaller purse that only has wallet, keys, cell phone and a hair brush!

We had a thread like this a while back and it was so much fun! I love purses and everything about them


I have my wallet, with all the normal stuff: Driver's License, Visa card, Costo card, etc....
My iPod and headphones
A calendar
small hairbrush
my mac cosmetic necessities: pressed powder, lip conditioner, and 3 colors of lip gloss (yes, I need 3 colors)
Bath & Body works Moonlight Path hand lotion, along with the hand sanitizer
Keys
Eye Drops
Cell Phone
1 pack of Extra Cool Watermelon flavored gum
Sunglasses
The card for the Mediterranean Cuisine where we bought our Hookah is also floating around


All of this is in my favorite purse, my Dooney & Bourke with the multi colored stars all over it
I LOVE it!

That is why I had to get a smaller wallet...I could barely zip my purse

I just bought a new, smaller purse, because I tend to expand the amount of junk I carry around to overfill whatever size purse I have. My bigger purse was so heavy it was giving me back problems.

In my new, little, purse I have:
Sunglasses, money, credit card case with my assorted cards, my business card case, cell phone, keys, my work security badge (I'm supposed to wear it, but I don't), Weight Watchers points tracker, Weight Watcher points finder, emory board, oil-blotting sheets, mascara, lipstick, lip gloss, lip balm (I guess I figure I need a lot of lip stuff), eyedrops, trial-size tube of foundation, pressed powder, Tic Tacs, 3 packets of breath strips (I guess I figured I might encounter an angry horde with bad breath), matches, assorted receipts for stuff I bought, coupons and White Sox cards I got at the game last weekend, ticket stubs for the game and the play from last weekend, business cards for my doctor and my manicurist, and my pedometer (lotta good it's doing me in there).
Who'd have thought I could stuff all that in there? Obviously, I already need to clean it out.

I have the minimum in my small purse, but the tote bag...
(It's here somewhere after being removed from the van so it could be repaired.) An inventory of it would probably cause this site to crash.
And since the back is still healing, I will probably not carry it for a long while.

The small purse - (this is from memory as it is across the room and I am too lazy to get it) - Comb, money purse, my "black book", smaller bag with clippers, tweezers, mirror, name badge, 2 rings, and a couple of other items, cell phone, 2 check books, several pens, calendar, notepad, various receipts and business cards, stamps, address labels (with mom's name), credit cards, driver's license, AAA card, lip balm, breath spray, key chain, watch, and attached to one of the rings is a clip on bag with inhaler and another set of keys. Once a month I shoehorn in a hard plastic case with feminine products. Oh, and a bottle cap for a free soft drink.

It could be considered a lethal weapon if I swing it at someone...
