Does anyone else have black holes in their bags? I know I do and it's another right pain. lol

I have lost count of the number of times I have looked for something I am convinced is in my bag. Cant find it so go off hunting elsewhere. Cant find it and look in my bag again - and there it is!!!

Only explaination I can come up with is a black hole. I also have black holes in every room in the house and in my coat pockets.

Oh and dont start me off on jewellry - I now have this thing about whatever I am wearing has to have jewellry to colour co-ordinate with it. lol

I have no Jeans, too fat around the stern end LOL

I am also starting to have too many chunky necklaces - is this addiction to costume jewellry affecting any one else?

I have 6 but 4 of them were bought to go with wedding outfits so have been stuck in the back of the wardrobe for ages.

The other 2 one is a small black one and the other a small brown one.

Im not much of a handbag person, but I do have way to many pairs of jeans lol

VIP - very intelligent Pocket - washable handbag liner, you can also get a light for your handbags - what will they think of next - must be needed for those very large bags to see what is lurking at the bottom LOL

to change handbags quickly, you need a handbag liner, google "Handbag Liner" and you will see them on sale for about £20. They organise all your items, and just lift out to pop into the new hand bag, so nothing forgotten.

I am going to get one, as the number of times I have swapped bags and left my address book, or hair brush behind................

Most of my life I only ever had one handbag at a time - if it got lost/stolen or broken, it was a nightmare trying to find the right one to replace it. When I was burgled about 8 years ago, my bag was taken and it took a month to find the right replacement - and it was a large expensive black leather job. I used just that bag quite happily for next 5 years - and then my daughter corrupted me and gave me bags for xmas and my birthday... and then I started buying them too. But I only have about 8 of them......... but what a pain in butt it is swapping over bags and having to shift all the contents over. lol Still, at least it gives me the chance to get rid of all the sweetie wrappers and old bills. lol

I have 3, all black, but use only the one, a good big one. If I used others I would forget to transfer important stuff from one to t'other. I might on rare occasions use the small one for weddings or funerals, when I dont need cheque books etc, but then I would want to put in a box of tissues on such occasions! so small one wouldnt be big enough.
