What's in my bag? Uncut.....

This is the genuine contents of my working bag. Emptied out this evening, no edit (apart from the Kettle Chips packet, empty of course). This is the internet but I'm not shying away from the shamefully excessive contents of my bag. Everyone loves to keep it real sometimes, don't they?

 Yes, it is a Focco.

In no particular order, to draw parallel with the disordered nature of my bag.......

• Green tea bags- This was probably an attempt at a faddy health kick on Monday,  four days later and two Quarter Pounders down I have no recollection of this brilliant idea of mine. Probably for the best. 

• Miniature Batiste and Elnett- Why not? They come in miniature so must be handbag essentials....

• Tangle Teezer (aka. dog brush)- Lifesaver, why the Dragons turned this down I'll never know....... I'm pretty sure i should receive a commission based on the number of people i have convinced to buy one of these!

• Water

• Kindle and case- Not that i ever read in the week. Ever.

• Tissues/cleansing wipes- Essential

• Document wallet- Full of train tickets, receipts and random expenses I should probably claim. 

• Headphones- I need to be able to listen to Spotify at my heart's content. Album of the week is The English Riviera by Metronomy. Introduced by a random guy I met on a plane and I highly recommend, especially 'The Bay'. Check it out. 

• Purse and a coin purse- Probably should work on the consolidation of them two.  

• Keys- Car and house. Standard. I do have a pretty Mulberry keyring i got for my 21st birthday however i have nothing else to add. 

• Paracetamol and antibiotics- Nothing hardcore or interesting about them.

•  Laptop charger- No explanation necessary, except it doesn't fit in my laptop bag because of the shed like fate that that has too suffered. 

• Make up bag- We won't start on the contents of that.. probably best saved for a rainy day.

• Calculators -Yes, plural. One sans lid, one complete. One mine, one lifted in true 'Artful Dodger' fashion from ab unsuspecting colleague. Note to self- must return.

• Phone- Switched off and staying that way for the whole weekend. OK, just tonight.

• Glasses -For my dud eye.  20/20 in one eye and blind as a bat in the other. I can not see at an angle, these are therefore when sitting on a colleague's lap just isn't not an option.

• Orange card- 3G USB modem thingy. Sometimes work, sometimes doesn't. Mainly the latter. 

• Moleskine Diary- The usage of this can be determined by where the ribbon marker lies... week Wednesday 11th May.

• Most used makeup/stuff- This has a special place in my bag. Strewn across the bottom. At the moment we have Cover Girl Lash Blast, a very battered Topshop Nevada Lipstick, Sleek Pout Polish in Peach Perfection, MAC Concealer, some Avon hair serum and Fresh Cannabis Santal.

• Lamy Fountain Pen and cartridges- The pen is my attempt at being 'grown up'. I envy people who have beautiful italic writing, my attempts end up more smudged across the page with the resultant 'inked' hand. Oh well... one day...

• Mini Moleskine- I'll confess to the true purpose of this... i write words i come across in this which i don't know the meaning of. I then check them in a dictionary later. I know this is very very sad.... This week we have had virile, antsy, mercurial and bested. Who knows what next week will bring?

• Highlighters and tabs- Can you spot the reoccurring theme of excess?

Link me up to your posts, I'm female and therefore inherently nosy........
