bag ladies
this is another observational winge: i see so many nicely dressed women walking to work, on the tube and so many carry their extra items that don't fit into their handbags in to old plastic unattractive bags...i really don't understand why they do this and don't1. buy a bigger bag
or
2. buy another bag that looks respectable.
i have opted for the large bag, it is huge and a bright red bag with red and white polkadot lining! it fits everything i need and fits even more if i happen to pass by my favourite shop on the way home from work who knows what i might pur-chase.
out of pure voyeristic interest this is what is in my bag today:
- 2 punnets of strawberries
- book: 'yan and the christmas tree' by jun machida (very sweet, philosophical journey of a cat to his home town in russia)
- mobile phone
- travel pass
- pen
- glasses
- hand lotion (my brand of choice at the moment is 'the sanctuary' with spf 15
- umbrella
- 1 tissue
- diary
- 'green tea' purfume elizabeth arden
- purse
- combe
- mirror
- lip balm
- 20 sheets of plain white paper for drawing
- newspaper clippings of: walking trips in the lake district, cooking holidays in england, 1 postcard to win a trip to amsterdam

I have always been much more of a bag lady than a shoe lady, though it really makes no difference these days as Townsville has no good shops for either. Nor does it have public transport, so now I just have a car instead of a purse. Instead of fitting nicely into an appropriately-sized bag, everything gets splayed out across the back seat.
Glad to hear that you carry blank paper around for emergency drawing. Hope you're finding lots to inspire you?
I prefer carrier bags!!! They are far more environmentally freindly!!
A carrier bag is not just for Xmas
or shopping.
A carrier bag blowing in the wind is extremely entertaining
Your everyday carrier bag is more useful than many people
Long live the carrier bag!!
