HappyMaz Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 There is nothing quite so comforting as finding out that others have the same OCD tendencies and passions for stationery, paperclips, post-its etc as you do! Went to Ikea yesterday and treated myself to another work bag but this one's USP is that it will hold my outsized laptop. So I couldn't leave without it could I? Now I just need to seek out all its older and fuller colleagues to set myself up for going back to work... Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 SHOES and BOOTS - def my thing too - I love them all have literally hundreds of pairs of shoes and boots!

Just thinking about what I have in mine - I could add to that list - a small set of screwdrivers or should that be a set of small screwdrivers, a strip thermometer thingy, small change, blu-tack (can't put that down at work - never see it again!)........hmmm - could go on!

Guest Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) The work bag PLEEEASE DON'T MAKE ME GO IN THERE! I couldn't begin to remember all that is in my work bag - just gets heavier and heavier! I have a PASSION for Radley bags and last year was given a huge Radley tote bag!! It holds everything I could possible need when out with the children... and then some!!! I know small children create a need for a changing bag but is it "normal" to carry wet wipes, nappies, tissues, cereal bars, antihistamines, small toys, books, wax crayons and miniature notebooks, fir cones, string, a first aid kit, notebook and pen, diary, reading book for Uni etc........when your daughter is 15!?!?!?!? Think I need a wheely bag next Nona Edited April 6, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Haha - I already use a wheelie trolley! I work just down the road and by the time I've got the clean towels, laptop bits, paperwork, a couple of lever arch files etc, it's the easiest way to get it all down the road!

Guest Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm a storage-a-holic! I confess to always buying new storage for work or for my crafting supplies and then spending hours upon hours re-arranging the stuff to suit the new storage!
