Meme: What's in your Bag?

[joyful_molly]

This meme was started some months ago by FREITAG (and looking at the picture, you can tell that I'm a dedicated fan of the brand. My commercial guilty pleasure). I liked the idea, taking inventory of my bag. And it's sort of baffling what I carry around all day... and that's Little Earl bag, not Big James bag (I wouldn't be surprised if I'd find the mummified body of the electrician who was supposed to check the fuselage last year and never turned up in that one...)

1. Earl, my FREITAG bag. The model is called "Joan", but I refuse to carry somebody called Joan all day. Earl is best mates with Moochie the mobile (3.) (Yes, I'm still naming electronic devices and handbags!)
2. My diary. As handy as electronic solutions are, I'll never fully rely on them, and more than once I've been grateful for my trusted tarpaulin-and-paper companion.
3. Moochie, my mobile (or rather, his protective sleeve - I needed Moochie to take this picture, after all). I'm still not happy with the restrictions of iPhone/Apple, and I find the almost religious dedication of some Apple aficionados a bit strange, but it's a good mobile phone, the camera takes nice pictures, I can play "Spongebob Squarepants Diner Dash" when I'm bored and it plays the theme from "Addams Family" when somebody calls. That's all I need, really.
4. My wallet. It's bursting, but unfortunately not with money. Cards and notes and addresses and vouchers and pictures and postcards and and and... but no money. Rats!
5. My bag for all things small and easily lost...
6. ... peppermint/seawater spray, for example...
7. ... Paracetamol for those headache moments...
8. ... berry balm for chapped lips...
9. ... USB stick...
10. ... coloured balm for when a wee bit of make-up is required...
11. ...and a nail file.
12. Shopping bag
13. Tissues (I'm still miffed they only had DC and no Marvel ones)
14. My Kindle! I'm currently re-reading Roddy Doyle's "The Van" on my way to work.
15. My personal Blarney Stone, so that the gift of the gob may never leave me. ;-)
16. I never eat early in the morning, so that's my 9.30am yoghurt that keeps me going until noon.
17. Yummy vitamins!
18. 3D glasses, just in case...
19. Eau de Cologne (4711, bloodorange/basil)
20. Deo (lavera, orange/buckthorn)
21. Day cream (lavera, white tea/kabanja oil)
22. Hand sanitiser (job essential)
23. M&S butterscotch mints
24. Job keys
25. Keys to the gates of hell (the anchor was made by a sail maker of HMS Victory)

Hmmm... maybe that slipped disk didn't come out of the blue, after all...!
