Carrying on from another thread ( Not wanting to be accused taking another tread on a tangent ;D) I thought I'd start a new one and encourage the lovely ladies of this forum to reveal the contents of their handbags.


So has not to be accused of discrimination if any men want to join in then you could reveal the contents of your favourite jacket pockets.

I'll get the ball rolling.
1 purse
1 large bunch of keys
2 trains
6 pens
1 half packet of mints
1 stripe of Paracetamol
2 stripes Codeine
2 Packets of Calpol
1 note book
3 bills (Paid)
1 pill box
1 letter from the school
8 Plasters
1 small screw driver
1 straw from carton of juice
1 driving licence (Wondered where that had gone)
1 post card
1 drawing of santa
1 child's sun hat
2 shopping bags
and 3 empty packets Maulteasers

Intrigued - could you please expand on "trains". And where did all the unpaid bills go?
 
Trains
1 Percy and 1 Gordon, I have been entrusted to look after them by grandson who keeps checking that I'l looking after them properly so must carry them round with me, apparently they make me happy!!

How can you argue with a 4 year old special needs grandson who wants to make you happy? ;D

Dick, I don't need any because I'm " Supper Gran" That's according to a cheeky 13 year old :D
 
They are from the " Thomas The Tank Engine " series of childrens books.Percy and Gordon are other trains /characters in the stories Chuck.

Ah, a common mistake, particularly on the distaff side. You mean "engines". Percy and Gordon are engines - possibly really useful engines. A train comprises a carriage or carriages or a wagon or wagons usually complete with engine. Not sure a totally solitary carriage or wagon would comprise a train but two carriages could be said to do so. But an engine on its own is a light engine (not a train) and I would not describe two engines coupled together as a train - though, of course, a train with two engines is a double-header.

After all that anorak stuff must now try to recall what it was I put off in order to launch into it.

What , no duct tape or housebrick?? ;) ;)
 
Unpaid bills are in the hallway waiting to be taken to the post office. ;D

The house brick and Duct tape are not on the list because I don't want to advertise that I'm going equipped! ;)

And I apologise for calling them trains when I know full well their engines because I get told off by my grandson for calling them trains. He's very cleaver and knows the difference its just his crazy old Momar that get it wrong :D

I have read in an American magazine that a single coach or wagon can be regarded as a train. The sort Dr Beeching did not like ....

I quite like going off at tangents - you never know what to expect ....

however I keep as little as possible in my jacket pockets - spoils the line! :) :) :)


I actually still use a leather briefcase and this contains:

a diary (Filofax meant to fit in a pocket but is a trifle too wide with a pen loop!)
an A4 note folder for taking notes
a lectionary
a bible
my own collection of prayers for various services
my hearing aids in their box
a couple of fountain pens
and whatever file that I am currently concerned with or books currently reading.

I am working on replacing a lot of this with suitable apps on the mobile phone. But that may take a little while .....
