All of her valuable possessions are kept in one bag that buying a <a href="http://www.trueinsurance.com.au/handbag-insurance/" rel="nofollow">handbag insurance</a> has already been put into consideration! LOL! Other than that, all her credit cards are also kept in one handbag. =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11479586577320227191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-20218014810794758882012-11-01T21:16:50.893-05:002012-11-01T21:16:50.893-05:00Most all transactions are done with debit cards.

For instance, my doctor's office has no option for paying with a debit card so I have to write a check to pay for my insurance co-payment. You seem to have a reasonable amount of items in your handbag, so not so heavy! I was able to remove a few items and leave them in the car today as I went about my chores in town and knew I wouldn't have need for some of the items in my bag as I went about my activities.

You sure carry a lot of must things along!<br />Agreed, I like big bags myself, being tall a small one would look funny.<br />In my bag I have my wallet, my cellphone, the Moleskine weekly diary, a pen, a bag hook, a foldable light bag, 3 pieces of cosmetics, a small brush, seasonally an umbrella, and occasionally my digi camera.<br />That´s it.<br />Btw, do you still write checks in the States?mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-43128652849887941932012-10-31T22:03:08.776-05:002012-10-31T22:03:08.776-05:00Hi Carol,

I know the handbag pictured is heavier than most but I seem to choose it for taking along more often than I choose the others.

All I need is one that will hold my car keys, cell phone,debit card, and my drivers liscense. That's it. Ready to go. If I need water there are fountains around. If I think I will get hungry I take a little baggie of almonds. Now, for the admission part. I count on people like you to be around as well. So if I need to I ask, excuse me do you have a pencil I could borrow, or a safety pin, etc. I cannot tell you how much I adore people like you who are always PREPARED. My mother was like you and so is my daughter.

I have all manner of cards, (except credit, which I don't like) - library, museum membership, YMCA, driver's license, etc, $1 bill, camera, phone, pen, tiny French folding scissors in their leather case (these are wonderfully strong and sharp), and lipstick. And, because I wear my swimsuit under my clothes when I go to water aerobic in the morning, spare underwear. For longer treks, I tuck this smallish purse into a tote which has my Nook in it.<br />Love your red book!

Like you, I am often away from home for long period of time and I always bring water and an apple - lipstick, moisturizer, sketch book, note book and sometimes a small watercolour kit. As I walk everywhere, I keep an umbrella in my bag too, useful in both hot and rainy climates.<br /><br />I did find a lighter weight purse which helps.<br /><br />Helen xxhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.com
