I have quite a large shoulder bag that I carry everywhere with me. It is made of light brown leather , has a large main compartment with a zipped pocket inside and two small pockets on the front.
The main compartment contains;
A keyring with my keys on
Another keyring with my spare keys on
My purse, containing some loose change and my loyaly/reward and credit cards. Also my library card .
Some spare tissues as I sometimes forget my hankie
A pen and a pencil
So you see my bag is quite tidy at the moment

HOWEVER!... if I had been writing this last week before I cleaned my bag out it would have been a different story, it would have read;

Lots of old till receipts
Some old boiled sweets left to go sticky at the bottom of the bag
Some old chewing gum (unchewed of course)
A scrap of paper with somebody`s sizes written on
Lots of old shopping lists
An old pen with dried up ink
An old pencil needing sharpening
Unused tissues
A scrap of card with measurements written on
Tradesman`s business card
An unused notepad
Scraps of paper with telephone numbers jotted down (whose I don`t know)
An old glove ( it`s partner has since been found in a draw)
A button


You will be pleased to hear that all broken , unusable or unhygenic items have been thrown out with our household waste, anything reusable or mendable are now being used, and any odd scraps of paper and card have since gone in the recycling bin.
