In My Bag. Today. Honestly.

I have often admired the other tidy bags, organised and logical for the blog post "What's in your bag?" that is going round and thought shall I reveal my bag and it's contents?
Maybe you have already shown what is in your bag or at least read about it.
I looked at the disarray in a heap in my bag and thought: "I couldn't possibly."
Then, on a whim, I decided that if I emptied the heap of mess in my bag and laid them out neatly, it wouldn't look so bad.
Here it is.
Laid out all in a row.

Today's contents are:
1.umbrella
2.vouchers
3.diary
4.mobile
5.wedding invite and bits for cake planning
6.store card and coffee shop cards
7.glasses
8.perfume
9.mirror
10.compact powder
11.2x pens
12.coin
13.wallet
14.tissues
15.shopping bag
16.cheque book
17.2x books of stamps
18.cheque to take to bank
19.mints
20.memory stick
21.notebook
22.toiletries bag
23.painkillers
24.sunglasses
25.hairbrush
26.mascara
27.11x lipsticks/lip salve/lip gloss - an assorted and gathered collection in bottom of said bag. (How come I can never find my lipstick?)

I did use the opportunity to throw out some out of date vouchers, a cinema ticket and a til receipt or few, a shopping list that read: milk - and - another notebook.

I need a new bag.
Besides never being able to find anything, always searching for my mobile when it rings, all the pockets on my old bag are all ripped and I am seriously in danger of losing my keys!

I dug out a bag from my collection - pink - of course and stuffed a few items in the new pink bag, leaving the rest to sort later and went off to my nieces.
Let's see how I get on with this bag.

The youngest niece rather liked my pink bag, it turns out, as it all went quiet when she toddled off, tipped the entire contents on the floor, including the cash and cards from my wallet and had used my mascara as a lipstick.
Black mascara.
The new lipstick.
Waterproof.
Took ages to wash off.
Kinda.

What's in your bag?

Ready or Not!

So I saw this idea at Ruth's blog.
It sounds like fun and a challenge and stretching my creativity to the limits all at once.
She says it started here.
But I've only just joined a gym, I said.
Creativity?
You got me!
I'm in.
Are you?
I'm in ready or not.
Scary but true.
As someone once said, it might be a can of worms, or a can of butterflies.
Let's see.
Live dangerously, life on the edge, adventure.
I am usually always up for a dare.

Joining in Just for Fun

I saw this idea.
It seems to be going round bloggyland.
I also found it happening here and here.
They found out about it here but it might have started somewhere else. Was it you?
Look at your photos and find the 8th folder. then pick the 8th photo in that folder to post.
Just for Fun.
so, I am joining on, just for fun.
My 8th photo from my 8th photo folder is this one.

What's yours?
Where did you first see it?
