However, like M - I have a few rotational handbags, so none of them are laden with long-lost junk. Plus, anyone who has been reading here long enough with know I *loathe* crap, and my favourite day is 'rubbish collection day', where I routinely find new crap to throw out .. so receipts and wrappers are dealt with on a weekly basis.
Gee, I wish my house was as clean as the above statement makes it sound :(
So on with the show:
This is my latest bag, and I *luff* it. AB brought it back from me from Noo York, and it can fit 2x DSLR cameras, a tripod, some lenses, and still have room for a nappy and a kid-snack. All without looking 'functional' ( yerk! ) or bulky, or ugly, or worse.
When I was a corporate slave, my handbags measured no bigger than 5x10cm. About the same size as an evening bag - enough room for a credit card, some notes and change, a stick of gum, and a slimline mobile phone. I was very proud of my minimalism.
So this is my bag as of this morning ( note: there is no money or phone due to the fact I now own a wallet ( I used to just keep all my money loose in the bottom of my bags ), and this is in the bottom of the pram, from a walk to the park yesterday. )
- Qantas Snack Bag -
I love these - they are perfect to pack a couple of clean nappies in.
- 3x receipts - Bunnings, Coles Express ( petrol ), and McDonalds. Sorry, but i love McDonalds.
- 2x rocks ( from down the side - for colour and size sampling )
- 2x pens
- my MOO Cards
- 10 cent coin
- Camera memory card
- Baby sunhat ( that the baby refuses to wear )
- a Huggies Babywipe sample pack
- eyeglass cleaning cloth
- 2x travel packs of tissues, both opened
- 1x model British Airways toy plane ( child distraction ploy )
- 1x dummy ( pacifier for our US friends )
- 1x muesli bar
- 1x lipbalm
- 1x lens cap
- 1x child's sunglasses

You did the small bag as a corporate slave? Wow. I had a huge one then. It had to be at least big enough to fit a spare pair of pantyhose as I was guaranteed to ladder mine at least once a week.
Nice bag. Cool orange sunnies. I'm sure you look ace in them.
Your previous minimalism is quite amazing. As is the idea of not previously owning a wallet - did you always find money you forgot you had in bag linings?
You have tempted me to post a list of the contents of my bag, so feel free to check that out. No minimalism on my end.
Rocks are a most excellent thing to keep in one's bag. I usually have a stick, a rock, or a half-eaten biscuit. Luckily, 'though I changed bags last Sunday and it was devoid of such things.
I've done it, but it is no where near as interesting as yours!
might have a go - once i have cleaned some of the crap out!!
What about starting one - the inside of the family car?? Now that woudl prompt me to clean that out.
I love this meme, and I usually hate em. I won't be doing my own, but I love sticky beaking into other people's!
I love your bag, and I love that your contents are so orderly. I need to take a leaf out of your book!
Oh you do have lots of goodies. I could do this but my bag is urrr, rather boring?
