Only if you get new glasses, the test doesn't improve your eyes :-)

I'm going for an eye test in the morning, so I'll be able to see you better :-D

We were a bit giggly :-D

I only felt a tiny bit guilty, Linda ;-)

Hello Sue, you are forgiven for abandoning us

Hello Sue - So the neighbourhood was high on caffeine all day then :-D

It has been a very sad time for Amanda and Bandit is probably quite lost at the moment without Milo.

I don't know anyone in Huntly who would come over for coffee and a chat. :-(

Hello :-)

I have a small backpack handbag that holds a phone, purse, keys, small packet of tissues, a pen and a small notebook.

I was absent yesterday morning because my neighbour popped in to let me know she's going away for a few days and she ended up staying for coffee and a chat. When the lady over the road heard us laughing she also came over and more coffee was made :-D

Poor Amanda - it's a sad day losing a beloved pet :-(

I don't think I will pass the tool box fairy idea on to my other half. I just wish he wasn't so convinced that I know where he has put things. If I can't find a certain spanner, wrench, hammer etc that he wants he tells me to keep looking.....

He had me looking for his card wallet a few days ago. I did go and look in all the likely places and then he realised he had put it in his shirt pocket earlier.

I am sure my August's mother is going to be a bag lady.. When she used to fly up to Auckland and we would meet her for lunch she would often have a soft carry bag and a large hand bag.. She would fly back to Wellington that night after work.

Hello Persie,

Maybe you have a mischievous handbag fairy/elf who likes to play tricks on you :-D

I have a toolbox fairy who plays tricks on me. :-D

Oh yes, I have a couple of pens as well.

I have too many zipped pockets in my bag Persie, so there are lots of hiding places.

I have lots of different sizes and shapes of handbag for special occasions but I use an ergonomically designed healthy back pack for everyday use

So the umbrella could really live in the car glove box, should you ever be caught in a monsoon, and have to be out.

Men have a problem, with wallet, mobile, house keys, car keys, etc etc.

I have one handbag that hides things, they are not there when I look for them and then they turn up later in that same bag.

I had another one that did a similar trick when I was in Melbourne, the wind was quite bitter and I searched all the way through my shoulder bag for the chapstick I went into one of their 7 something shops and bought one. Later that night in Hobart I tipped out all the contents on the bed and lo and behold it had returned.

I do carry rather large handbags, I must have room for pens, notepaper and a book as well as other essentials. I do have a few smaller ones for when we go to special functions etc.

I have a very small titanium umbrelka which is incredibly light. I don't know why I carry it as I never use it. I much prefer my hood

Tecwyn Report 18 Mar 2015 21:15

With the exception of the umbrella, you could manage with a neat little handbag.

My OHs handbag was a complete mystery. So heavy, goodness knows what she carried in there. Wonder she never suffered a dislocated shoulder :-D
