What’s In My Everyday Bag
I love reading what’s in my bag type posts, maybe because I just like being nosy but I don’t know. So today I thought I would share what I keep in my everyday bag. I got this backpack from Accessorise many years ago, I love pattern on it. I’m also a big fan of the metal fastenings.
Inside I have:
Phone. A Sansung Note which is so big some people think its a game boy. I have a game boy cover on it which really doesn’t help.
Kindle. I seriously can’t leave my house without a book. So instead of carrying lots of heavy books I take along my Kindle instead. This thing is a lifesaver if I’m bored and waiting for a train. Thats if I remember to keep it charged up.
Purse. I am a massive fan of the Moomins. I saw this purse in a little shop in Bath and had to buy it. I’ve had it for almost three years now and I really don’t know what I’m going to do when the time comes to replace it.
Inhalers. Since my surgery I haven’t had as many problems with my asthma. However I’m still slightly paranoid that I might need my inhalers while out, this means they pretty much come everywhere with me.
Foldaway Bag. The Scottish Parliament recently passed legislation that requires shops to charge 5p for a carrier bag. I use this instead because it saves me from having to pay for a bag.
Sunscreen. Because its Scotland outside.
Socks. For some reason after leaving work one day I took my socks off and put them in my bag. They’ve never left.
Umbrella. Because its Scotland outside.
Lip balm. I really don’t use many lip balms but I like this one from The Body Shop.

OMG MOOMINS! I love your purse. And foldaway bags are really handy, so I always try to carry mine with me.
bluchickenninja
MOOMINS 🙂 That foldaway bag is so useful, it practically lives in my bag.

I love seeing what’s in other people’s bags. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
bluchickenninja
You’re not the only one!
Laura
i should start carrying around sunscreen too…and nice bag btw!
bluchickenninja
It is ridiculously useful. Just make sure no one sees you carrying about sunscreen in the middle of winter!

Nice bag!
bluchickenninja
Thanks 🙂

Great bag, Emma! Glad to see your Kindle was in there. You would be excommunicated from the ranks of bibliophiles without a book or reader.
bluchickenninja
Is there a rule somewhere saying that a bibliophile has to be within a certain distance of a book at all times.
Thank you!
Dagny
Grabbing distance, perhaps?
I read of one guy who confessed that he had formerly thought he would never, ever, own a reader. He succumbed to the thought of carrying hundreds of books around in his hip pocket.
bluchickenninja
Yes. Maybe even a bit closer.
Ereaders are great. But I prefer having an actual book. The thing I love most about them is I no longer have to print out fanfiction if I want to read it away from a computer. You have no idea how many trees that has saved.
Dagny
That’s me and public domain books.

A very brave post! Even though people accuse me of being somewhat of an exhibitionist, I don’t think I’d ever, never ever, have the courage to dump out the contents of my bag for all the world to see! I probably don’t even really want to know myself!
bluchickenninja
The stuff I have in my bag is pretty much the same stuff anyone else would have in their bag. None of the things I have in there are that important to me, its just stuff I own.

Beautiful post!!!! I am not that bold to reveal what’s in my bag. I don’t need most items in there, but I can’t seem to not go out without them. I wonder if there is a term for that.
bluchickenninja
I think there might be!

I never believe these posts. Where is the lint and random bobby pin? My bag is just about 100% those two items. Plus a wadded up dollar bill and spare keys.
bluchickenninja
I didn’t have any dust or bobby pins but there was a big pile of used bus tickets that went straight into the bin.
Very Bangled
Ok, now I am a believer 🙂

Love your reasoning for both sunscreen and umbrella 🙂
bluchickenninja
Sad but true 🙂 sometimes we get all 4 seasons in the same day.

I’m so impressed with the contents of your bag – if I had to empty out my bag it would be filled with all manner of useless crap!
bluchickenninja
Don’t worry I had lots of useless crap in my bad too! It just didn’t look good in the photos.

I love these posts too. Thanks for sharing, I love that rucksack!

Thanks!

Well, now I must do this challenge myself! Greetings from Guatemala.
bluchickenninja
Oh wow you’re from Guatemala? Thats like really really far away. Can’t wait to see whats in your bag!
theduffboy
I’ll try not to cheat, since I just quit my job and this will definitely alter my bag’s content 🙂 Well, we are far away. Unless you were at Mexico or El Salvador, then we’d be neighbors.
thebibliotheque
Cracking about the socks! 🙂 I guess they would come in handy if its Scotland outside
bluchickenninja
I would love to say you are right. But I genuinely have no idea why they were in my bag. There must have been a reason, I just can’t remember what it was.
Danah Rae
I love this. This is a very fun idea for a blog post!
bluchickenninja
Thank you 🙂
