Are you firmly attached to your handbag?

Totally adhered to it! I change my bag to suit the activity and how much I have to carry. Some bags have specific roles; small ones to pack for holiday, large ones to carry everything when travelling etc.
When I go to bed, the current days bag lives on the bed post!
Definitely my security blanket, with their own personalit! X

I have a recurring dream in which I lose my handbag. I sometimes wake up in a hot sweat in sheer panic. In these dreams I put it down somewhere and then when I go to leave wherever, I can't find it. I am in a terrible state, asking everyone I can find, searching under chairs and in cupboards. So yes, I think I am quite attached to mine. And yes, I take it to bed, well not inside the bed obviously but upstairs with me each night.

Travelling far afield, yes. Usually a rucksack of some kind. Everyday, definitely no.

I don't take it to bed - it lives by the grandfather clock in the hall. I used to take it to bed until a friend woke up one night and found a man going through her bag looking for the car keys . She left it downstairs after that!

Yes I am and it contains - tissues, wipes, hand gel, nail file, pens, small filofax, large purse, hankies, paracetamol, immodium, indigestion tabs, lipstick, comb, small bottle of perfume, moisturiser, fold up shopping bag x 2, various receipts, phone and my keys.

Oh, henetha, so does mine - although not actually in the bed, just on the floor beside it...

Very rarely use one.

I'm happy to just take keys and phone, if shopping my purse I don't need much else.

I'm so fond of my handbag that it even goes to bed with me at night.

But Nonnie what about tissues, umbrella, pen + spare, notebook, carrier bag, keys, diary, book, wipes ( not the same as tissues) ...........

I often wonder how men manage, not being able to have hand/shoulder bags [although they can carry them if they look as if they contain a pooter of some kind]. I do have a tiny tiny shoulder bag for when I walk the dog; just big enough for keys, phone and tissues but, in general, my bag is huge and quite full. I'm not someone that has lots of bags as it takes too long to transfer things from one to another, although I have switched to a slightly smaller one recently as my old faithfull is so big things tended to disappear in it for days at a time . Gosh; contents; purse, medical stuff [paracetamol, imodioum, rennies, plasters, zovirax etc]; small sewing kit; glasses; biro; phone; small raincoat [the use once and throw away sort]; tissues; camera [sometimes]; comb; sugar sachets liberated from when I have a coffee out [I sometimes like sugar in coffee]. Handwipes are a recent addition [found them very useful on my holiday and easier to use than gel]. Sometimes a book in case I have to wait in the car for a while.

Oh, and my phone in the other pocket.

No, love my bags but am really happy to go for a walk with a couple of cards and some money in the pocket of my jeans.

Yep! Me too. It's a shoulder bag and it carries everything I might need .

My handbag is my security blanket and goes everywhere with me, even if it remains in the car boot when out visiting. It is a large black leather Healthy Back Bag which contains my whole life! There isn't room on here to list the contents. I once left it in a shop by mistake and it was handed in to the Police. The long list of contents they had made was so embarrassing! It ended with 'assorted nuts and bolts'

Me too. So attached am I to my bag that I feel very odd if I have to walk any distance without it. I think it's my comfort blanket!
