    Keys
    Make-up
    Phone
    iPod
    Perfume
    Umbrella
    Work ID

    Some of you sound like you need a small trailer/wheelbarrow more than a bag!!

    Phone, keys, wallet. Done!!
    It's funny how so many men forget their keys though. The number of times my brother has been locked out. Because women keep everything in their handbag, all they need to remember is, well, their handbag!

    Haha, yeah I have to say "phone, wallet, keys?" to my bloke before we leave the house because at least one of those will always be forgotten otherwise!

    My bag's totally massive so a whole load of random rubbish lives in there. Including usually two or three bottles of half drunk water, 'stuff' from places I've recently been away to (eurostar tickets, a guidebook for Edinburgh etc), odd socks, two hairbrushes and several items belonging to my boyfriend, who demands I cart things around for him like a small child when we're out rather than having to carry them himself :p:
