Hi everyone – it’s Renee here for this post.

Many years ago, my friends and I would play ‘The handbag game’. All us girls would rummage around our handbags, searching for things starting with each letter of the alphabet. The girl with the most letters won. It was a completely pointless game, but it entertained us during many boring moments, waiting for public transport, a round of drinks or filling lapses in conversation.

So today I played ‘The handbag game’ with my work bag…..

I’m pleased to find that 10 years later, my bag no longer holds many of the questionable items it used to, however I clearly haven’t learned how to tidy my bag out regularly.

Here’s my list (some creative licence allowed):

1. Apple phone case
2. Black scarf
3. Cough drops
4. Drugs (completely legal and boring I’m afraid)
5. Eclipse gum
6. Fan
7. Green nail polish
8. Hair clips, ties and pins
9. Inhaler
10. Jupiter saxophone mouthpiece
11. Keys
12. Lip gloss
13. Max Factor lipstick
14. Napolean Perdis powder compact
15. Orange nail polish
16. Pencil case
17. Quick fix instrument repair kit
18. Rhythm restoration business cards
19. Sunglasses
20. Triangle beater
21. Used spoon
22. Vandoren reeds
23. Wallet
24. Xtra pens and pencils
25. Yellow post it notes
26. Zovirax

Have a great day everyone!
