Win a handbag – yes siree. See this one here. You like it? It’s up for grabs.
This competition prize has been donated by ThisHandbag: a new site that stocks one handbag at a time, and sells at heavily discounted prices. The bag on show measures 29 cm by 26 cm, and is available from the website for £9.99 plus £1.50 postage.
To enter, simply leave a comment below, listing one item that you keep in your handbag and couldn’t do without. Apart from your purse or wallet, of course. (For me it’s a notepad: I’m always scribbling things down.)
The closing date is 5 pm GMT on Tuesday 23 February. I’ll pick the winner using an online random number generator.
UPDATE: The competition has closed and the winner has been picked! See here for details.

My mobile! I just couldn’t go out without it.
Needed for emergencies and the internet always comes in handy!
I always have a book, to keep me amused.
Definitely a lip salve… cos it drives you crazy when your lips sting and you can’t do anything about it!
Indigestion tablets ha ha
Strange as it might seem but a phillips screwdriver is an essential.
Lip balm – I’m always getting chapped lips!
Tissues, lip balm and paracetamol
a pack of chocolate buttons in case granny sees one of the grandchildren, and if they get near a sell by date well, granny can always munch them instead!
Lip balm.
My must have item is a one pound coin for trolleys etc
my mobile, i love my freedom but if something happens with the kids i need to know i’m contactable. When did i become so practical?
Antibacterial hand gel. Great if someone sneezes and touches the lift buttons (can’t be too careful in these days of swine flu!) and means you can sterilise your hands before eating on the go.
Tampons!!! Well at least i’m honest!

Def a nail file- ragged edges drive me bananas
A pen and notelets, to remember what not to forget.
These days it’s my specs!
Tissues – always seem to need them
a tampon – got to be prepared.
I’m afraid to say Credit card !
I carry a canvas bag folded up at the bottom of my bag – cos you never know when you’re accidentally going to buy something, find something, hold something for a friend etc. It is invaluable, and it’s good for the environment too!
my iPhone -apps apps and more apps!
Lipstick, cant live without it!
My mobile phone – I’d be lost without it!
Umbrella definitely
Wipes – I always forget to clean the toothpaste off my childrens’ faces so often end up doing it in the playground with my handy wipes!
A little pot of vaseline – works on chapped lips, blisters, dry skin, errant eyebrows – wonderful stuff.
Antibac handgel. You never know when or where you might need it!
Chewing gum!
My phone is the most important item for me.
the wife always has a mini medical kit in her bag..
Vasaline- essential for stopping my lips getting sore and for giving them a pretty sheen
money
I have got a SwissCard!! When I got it as a present i though, OMG you are kidding, but I can’t be without it! Scissors, pen, file, Knife, toothpick, and amazingly a PIN. It honestly is the size of a credit card, but the number of times someone has said to me “jees, I wish a had a pin to poke in there”, or “i need a pen”, or “if we had scissors”. I feel like wonder woman when I bring that out and am able to produce the tools! ha ha – I know that makes me sad,
A magic wand – it folds really small, and is great for amusing small children (and adults).
My tweezers, they are very small so light to carry but come in handy for all sorts of things, cleaning under my nails, getting splinters out or use as a weapon if you need to defend your self xxx
A PEN – I NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT ONE
I always carry a mini can of hairspray,for safety as well as vanity!
Lipstick or lipgloss.
My diary – so I know what I’m doing, where, and when.
There are so many things in my handbag that I couldnt live without! The top one has to be my mobile phone.
I feel completely disconnected from the world without it!
50p incase my phone dies or something happens and I need to ring home
It has to be my lipgloss, wouldn’t go anywhere without it !
A long emery board. I hate broken nails and it serves well as a backscratcher too.
a nappy sack for when i take dog out ideal for poop
ALWAYS KEEP CHEWING GUM, NOTHING WORSE THAN HALITOSIS!
I always have a swiss army knife with me, has come in handy so often.
Mobile Phone – never leave the house without it
my diary – need to know when I am free if ever asked …….
Husbands blue badge for when we need to park
