On a night out the only things in my small clutch bag would be
Phone
Tissues
Bank card
Lippy in a little holder with mirror.

Keys and cash are what H has pockets for grin

I put some cards into another wallet, eg Nectar etc then always forget to take it with me.

Every few days I go through my purse and take out all the pennies, 2p and 5p pieces and put them in the charity tin.
Then try to spend the rest as fast as I can grin

Only my purse, a small bumbag which I've used since I was robbed many years ago. It weighs 300g. Lots of small change, which I try to use in cash payments,or pay into the bank occasionally.
People don't seem to use cash so much these days, but it's still quite common here. And payment by cheque.

I have to carry a very large handbag because of medical supplies that I need, despite that my purse is still the heaviest thing in the bag and DH reckons it weighs 750g grin

378g!!! I only take a small bag and some change, a credit card, lipstick , tissues and a comb. When I used to take a larger bag DH thought I should carry all his junk too- he doesn't think that anymore grin.

Mine is 315g but it's not big enough for everything so I also have a separate small purse for cards. No wonder my bag is so heavy!

I always admire women who go for a night out without their
handbag. I have a friend who does this when out with her DH. Where does she put her lipstick, hairbrush, phone, tissues, purse, small bottle of make up for re-doing, mirror, credit card wallet, and my DH always gives me his car keys and satnav. I asked her once why she didn't carry a bag when out in the evening. She said 'I don't need anything'. I am in awe confused

My bag is a ton weight Katek and filled mostly with crap stuff that I think I might need.

Diaries for work and personal, pens, pencils, water, hand gel, wipes, lipstick, 2 huge bunches of keys, purse (heavy in itself), a little bag with personal bit and bobs in it (tampons, paracetamol etc.) mints, the insides of kinder eggs???, glasses,........

Good question Kate!

Mine is 356g but, until I offloaded loads of change in M&S yesterday, it was about a ton or is that tonne? grin

Depends whether I have a lot of change !
Mine's the same style as yours but at the moment it's light as has no change in.
I notice a difference in the weight of my handbag depending on whether I have my brollie with me.

I hefted my bag onto my shoulder this morning....hefted being the operative word! It doesn't have a huge amount of stuff in it, the usual comb, pen, phone, sunglasses etc, so I decided to weigh the purse.......417g!! Heading for a pound! It's one of those long ones and contains bank cards, stamps, appointment cards, travel passes, driver's licence etc as well as money. No wonder I felt as if the weight of the world was on my shoulder! I could always spend the money to lighten the load...........
