Well it's that time of year again, I had to clean out my wallet. Over the past year, it has grown to over "1-1/4" inch thick! It contained dozens of slips of papers with phone #'s, 2 credit cards, 3 supermarket discount shopping cards, Costco card, Drivers' license, spare car door key, AAA Card, Medical ins card, several pictures of family, & several paper money bills.

hand bag = shoulder bag, handbag that holds all the 'stuff' + purse

purse = the thing WOMEN put money, credit cards etc in

wallet = the thing that MEN normally put their money and credit cards in.

Chonsi....'Boots ' is a chemist (Pharmacist) chain here in the UK. Like some of the supermarkets, they give out 'loyalty' cards...when you spend £??, you get a percentage in an imaginary bank, that you can claim back on purchases at a future date. I suspect you have something similar over there. Tescos send 'money off vouchers'

Over the years, I have forced myself to carry a smaller handbag. If I don't, I will stuff anything and everything in it and it'll kill my back carrying it!:(

Here goes: money, license, health insurance card, a beautiful pic of my mom, AAA card, dental floss (always!), two tootsie pops, a tampon, eye liner, lip liner, lipstick, Q-tips (to clean up mistakes with the aforementioned eye liner:-2 ), keys, change purse.

And that's it. Period:)

Purse: Wallet, keys, small notebook w/pen, receipts I haven't entered into Money yet, loose change, Lactaid, digital camera.

Wallet: Cash, envelopes for separating cash into categories (keeps me on a budget - a budgeted amount goes into each category envelope, when it's gone, I don't spend any more in that category till it's time to refill the envelopes), another notebook with a pen, checkbook, drivers license, debit card, Costco card, library card, insurance card for me, insurance card for my son, pic of my son, the card that was in the flowers that my BF sent me for our first anniversary (we're coming up on our fourth) :-4

Purse: Advil, several pens, tissue, keys (2 sets) cell phone and usually a collection of random papers.

Wallet: Credit card, 3 grocery store cards, Sams Club card, PetCo Card, pictures, license, a copy of Rick's license, library card . AAA card and AARP card. And, occasionally, if I am fortunate, some cash.

Thanks Bez, I know now what Boots is.

I have plenty of those cards in my wallet too. But I would rather have on my black cowboy boots, with the little white birds on them, and go dancing!

Well I have been told I could live out of my purse. :wah: I guess thats because I use to spend so much time on (Footbal) Soccer fields watching, coaching, playing, that my purse became a first aid kit, food storage, clothes, team stuff, car stuff and just stuff that to list it would take days. Lets just say if someone needS something they asK Carla..

In my wallet there's my drivers license, ss card, kids ss cards, health insurance card, JcPenny Card, Sam's Club Membership card, no money, debit card, a huge array of business cards and Dr's appointment cards.

My purse holds my wallet, extra pair of contact lenses, spare change, various receipts, post office box key, latest Avon brochure, a sock, couple of pens, chapstick, lip gloss, and a spare pair of panties for Ayden.
