Collecting | Suzie Speaks

I decided that I would tackle some of the little jobs that needed to be finished on my list. One of them was to empty and tidy my rather large handbag. I’m a huge Radley fan, owning several of their bags in various sizes. I’ve had it for a few years and I often refer to it as my Mary Poppins bag – I put things in and they disappear. I was getting quite frustrated with it at the weekend, so I thought I would delve in and see what on earth I have been carrying around for the last six months.

This is what I found:

Standard make-up kit – two mascaras, three eyeshadows, an eyeliner, set of tweezers, two lip glosses.
Small tin of Vaseline.
Small bottle of Stella McCartney perfume.
Small bottle of Carolina Herrera 212 perfume.
Seventeen pens, four pencils, one fine liner, one CD pen and two board markers.
Large set of work keys.
Three tube tickets and four train tickets.
Box for antibiotics.
Otravine nasal spray.
London Tube map.
Pandora charm receipt.
Work badge.
Two packets of chewing gum.
Raffle tickets.
A thank you card from my colleagues son.
Tickets for ‘Frozen’ at the cinema.
Tickets for ‘Rock of Ages’ in London.
Tickets for London Zoo.
Hairdresser appointment card.
An iPhone charger cable.
Four safety pins.
Spare keys for locker.
McDonalds competition stickers.
Bag from Laduree – macarons.
Cigarette lighter.
Three wage slips, two of them unopened.
A small badge from a Christmas card.
Three hair elastics.
£1.42 in Sterling, a €2 coin and an American quarter. I’ve haven’t been to America since 2010 or Europe since 2012…
