First off let me thank you for starting this thread or else I would have gotten to the beach next week and had a terrible oder in my purse, see list below. *** ziplock baggie with a pair of wet panties! (I can explain, Castle had an accident at church Sunday and I forgot her backpack so the teacher put them in a baggie for me to pickup!) Half eaten banana See above:arrow: two ink pens note pad address book cell phone small makeup kit checkbook chap stick peppermints enough change to pay for our upcoming trip! wallet

ROFL!!!! You people are cracking me up!I also forgot I have gum, hand sanitizer, and a picture receipt that I keep in their to remember to pick up the pics that I have yet to remember to pick up.Hmmm, this is going to be a tough poll! Lots of good stuff for me to put on it.

ok - here goes: wallet "female" products Childrens place coupon about 15 receipts 2 pks pop rocks candy Lightning McQueen (from Cars) a fluorescent golf ball (where did this come from?) cell phone 2 high liters nail polish 5 lip glosses straw wrapper 2 gummy spiders 1 zip tie (seriously - now I am cleaning out my purse!!)

Well, that is what WAS in it. Think I will throw away some of this junk. I almost didn't do this becaue I thought I didn't have enough in my purse to make it worth writing down. Have to say though, the funniest thing I ever carried in my purse was when ds11 was young. He had fake food he played with, and a fake piece of bacon got into my pusre. since I would never get into my purse at home I never remembered to take it out, and carried it for months!

ROFL! You have now peaked my curiosity!

Purse..what purse? My purse is a diaper bag..lol I haven't carried a purse since before my boys came home....I don't have enough hands/arms. they are filled with 2 kids, and a diaper bag and any other random item my kids need for daycare that day. Man I miss my purse..can't wait until i don't have to carry kids anymore...lol

How BIG are these purses people???? GOOD GAWD! The title of the thread should be "everything but the kitchen sink!";) I have credit/debit cards, this week's receipts, $8 and change, license, kleenex and a pen. Yes...that is IT!

That would be the purse I have if I am going out to dinner with friends and then to a bar!!!! LOL :) Wouldn't work for everyday.

Oh my gosh you guys scare me!! Or maybe I should carry more....lol I am a wallet kind of gal. Many years of a diaper bag you just learn to put your wallet in the diaper bag. Just haven't gotten out of the habit yet....lol.
