Whats in my handbag ...

After seeing Fizzy Peaches and couple other people post things like this I thought I would give you all a look inside my handbag.

As most people know, handbags and their content are very personal ... to the point that fiancé isn't overly keen on going into mine even when I tell him too hehe honestly you would think I kept a man eating monster in it.



So here goes .. from left to right ...

Filofax ... £15
Cath Kidston Purse ... £28
Primark Bag ... £9
Make up bag ... £free
Sanctuary Spa Eau de toilette ... about £6
Vaseline ... £1.99
Hairspray ... £1.50
Primark floral brolly ... £4
Kleenex ... £?? multipack
Pound coin ... £1
Hair pins ... £1
Keys ... probably upwards of £100 to get a new car key, 3 house keys and my mini memory card

Total - 167.49 then add in my iPhone £200 ish thats £367.49 yikes

Inside my makeup bag ...

I'm quite good on this front I dont tend to carry a lot of extra make up around with me any more.

Nail file ... £2.50
Coverstick ... £3
Eye liner ... £5 (a very battered Avon one I think they have stopped making :( )
Eye liner ... £2
Mascara ... £1.99
Lipstick ... £1.99

Total £16.48 .. now that is really surprising ... I think its the avon eye liner thats pushed it up.

So all together I am probably carrying around about £383.97 worth of stuff in my little cheap £9 handbag. 

Looking at whats in my bag I think the bits that really drive up the cost are my phone and my car keys. Which is to be expected as a new car key has to be matched to your car these days so is mega bucks, normal house keys run upwards of £5 each to cut. Then a mobile phone ... well unless I start carrying around a basic call and text model this is always going to push up the value of your bag. Hence why I try to keep a very close eye on it.

One thing this doesn't take account of is sentimental value or replacement time and energy... fiancĂ© bought me that purse for a christmas present and inside it there are a lot of cards to call up and cancel, ooh speaking of which replacing your drivers licence can cost over £20.  

Then a bit like Fizzy Peaches I also carry my iPad round at times which is over £300 or our Nook £60, I feel like walking round with a personal body guard who's main job is to hold my bag when I'm busy. I dread to think of the price it would be if I was still at uni and carrying around my Macbook!!! 

What do you keep in your bag? considering leaving any items at home in future? 

xXx
