I recently emptied the contents of a friends handbag, which happened to weigh the equivalent of a small house and laughed my socks off as she tried to explain why there was so much pointless junk in there!

Why do women do that? Do you really need to keep everything but the kitchen sink in there? You should at least leave room for your partners mobile phone and keys so we don’t have to carry them!

In short, yes we do need all that so-called pointless junk. Sooner or later, it all comes in handy.

You may laugh, but the next time you need a hammer, your friend may very well have one to hand. Same thing with, oh I don't know, a mouse trap, a travel size bed, sink etc.

Not all of us carry loads of extra stuff about. It annoys the hell out of me that I can't fit everything in my pockets.

The contents of my bag:
cheque book
purse
yesterdays shopping list
ventolin inhaler and seretide inhaler
mobile phone
keys
lip salve
and a 10pence piece

and my bag is so small that any guy I'm with has to carry his own stuff about!!

I went for a night out with my ex a few months ago and asked her to put a few things in her handbag since i didn’t have many pockets. By the end of the night she had lost my wallet and a pair of gold cufflinks that I’d had for years. I think the lesson to be learned here is never give a drunk woman stuff to look after or buy her a bigger bag first lol

Nah, that would mean having to keep everything in my trouser pockets which looks daft or leave them in my coat and hope they don't get nicked!

I had a girlfriend who had a bottom-less pit.
(and it wasn't her handbag either.....)
