What goes with you on your travels? Do you pack light or go prepared? Are you carrying clothes for more than one season right now? :)
I'm impressed - spacious bag!
ReplyDeleteI switch between two bags - backpack style, one small and one large depending on what I want to take out.
Always in the bag are:
knitting patterns
wool and a current WIP (currently play crowns and birthday bits)
journals and various drawing media and pens
notepads
The same Mabey pocket book and occasionally other nature books
cloth bags
childs sunglasses
arnica cream and lip balm
keys, phone, purse
lefthanded scissors (as they don't always have them when we go to places you may need them)
Collections of nature things - currently conkers, acorns and hats, Guinea fowl feather
Camera
Snacks
Child hat sometimes
I don't tend to take out spare clothing too much, the weather doesn't change dramatically at the moment but may end up with something if a layer comes off. If I do need clothes the bigger bag comes with me.
I guess I go prepared x
Lol that sounds so like my bag contents! I realised after I took everything out that I usually also have at least one biro, and stacks more bits of paper (receipts for about two months lol) and collected nature junk. It would have been a more honest picture if I hadn't cleaned it out when we got back from holiday a couple of weeks ago haha.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Can you guess what I do? I carry a small handbag for out and about, but day to day work bag, I carry a second larger bag.
ReplyDeleteMy everyday contains:
Purse
Iphone and earphones
Keys
Some receipts and bus tickets
2 biros
A scrap of paper with the details of the last train back to Yeovil!
A bus time table
Two tubs of vasaline, one home tinted
A tiny tube of extra concentrated hand cream
A narly looking packet of tissues
Chewing gum
Used cinema tickets
Mini-pen
Hair brush and hair band
Sample size mascara (always running late for bus, frequently end up mascara-ing at work!)
And some very persistant grains of sand!!
My "work bag" currently contains
Wool and two sets of circ needles, as I am tension swatching
A stethoscope
Local antibiotic guidelines
A syphgnomometer
ID badge
A now battered looking blank prescription
My name stamp
Reusable shopping bag
List of books at both work locations (My weekend contribution is to update it!)
It also often contains:
thermometer and covers
pulse oximeter
Pen torch
gloves and ky-jelly
knitting patterns (although usually keep these on my iphone so I don't waste paper)
scissors
tapestry needles
novel
Oxford handbook of clinical specialities
And a cuddly toy (no, not really, but reading your list, my brain kept on shouting it out!!)
Ahhh... the life of a junior "semi-rural" GP who's a fibre addict! Just a little different to your bag! But fairly prepared non-the-less!
Gasp! How do you manage to fit it all in?
ReplyDeleteWe have two bags, one with spare snacks nappies etc if we are out for more than the school run or just my handbag which has a hair brush (never use it) bus time table and bus pass. cheese and cereal bars for snacks at the bus stop. (We have to catch a bus to Joe' school) That is on a good day, most days I don't even bother having one.
Lol lol Ashleigh love it.
ReplyDeleteNutshell House: I don't fit it all in so much as it gets shoved down and the velro tab just about meets most of the time. ;) It isn't *at all* organised in the bag, I have to rummage. :)
Just popped back to peek again. Fun to see what is in our bags.
ReplyDeleteI love how Ashleigh has wool at the top of her list for her work bag lol!
Yeah, I forgot all the bits of paper that come and go, and hair slides and bunches.
Today mine also has a drop sindle in it to keep me occupied at a birthday party later ;-)
well, of course!!! I have my priorities! I spend over an hour on buses everyday, and if you read my blog (http://onbeingamedicalstudent.blogspot.com/2011/09/grand-christmas-challenge-2011.html), you'll see I need every spare moment I can get my hands on! I'm often tempted to take a spindle too... but I'm always a little worried it'll run away across the floor of the bus!
ReplyDeleteBag contents (and said bag is large enough to house at least a medium horse!):
ReplyDelete2 pens
1 general doodles notepad
1 mobile phone (never charged!)
wallet
felt make-up bag
random felted pumpkin (!)

:) I don't think I can claim to be travelling light!
I have just *completely* downsized: J is 21 months and I am determined to travel light. So my lovely shiny new posh bag only contains: purse (am glad one doesn't have to reveal the contents of one's purse, however); kirby grips; emery board; phone; 2 fold-up shopping bags; pencil; hair bobble; small round stone (?!?); reward card thing for M&S greetings cards; hand cream; hand sanitising gel stuff; door hook (?); plasters and antiseptic wipes. I have a small monkeyfoot bag that takes ONE nappy and some wipes, which I can squeeze into a side pocket if we are going out for more than a couple of hours. My diary will just fit in. Yay me!
ReplyDeleteHmm. And writing that list has made me realise that somebody has half-inched my red work pen, which is supposed to live in there too :)
ReplyDeleteOhh downsizing... Actually I'm not sure I could downsize much even when I'm done carrying nappies and changes of clothes lol...
ReplyDeleteMy list made me realise how infrequently I go through my bag and renew the contents lol. Those pink trousers don't even FIT Rowan now!
Well obviously if I am leaving the house for more than, say, half an hour...or if I have one of the big girls with me...I have to carry either another bag or take the car and fill the passenger seat with "essentials"! (So much for my smugness)
