    Receipts. Piles and piles of receipts. If I close my wallet and imagine hard enough, I can almost pretend I have money. Sigh.

    I love that it's a FEW condoms.

    Just in the off chance you meet someone, then when that's done and you are heading home, you meet ANOTHER person.

    Re: What do you have in your wallet?
    I think I have about £20 cash, student card, provisional driving licence, IOP card, debit card, sometimes library card and bus pass (which is worth about £200, but in principle it is worthless to anyone who isn't me as it requires my library card for validity which has a photograph of me on it)

    If someone knew my PIN then they could clear out my bank account, I suspect that if my wallet was lost/stolen I'd be able to freeze the account before much/any damage was done on online shopping.
