Thursday Thirteen #7
April 26, 2007 1:51 pm
- Keys: I used to have a huge bunch of keys and pocket tools when I worked as a projectionist/tech crew at University. Now I’ve got a few house keys and a lot fewer holes in my pockets.
- Wallet: Need somewhere to keep #3, #9. #10 and #12. Plus other assorted detritus.
- Cash and change: I’m no "Rusty" Regan I like to keep this to what I need to have on me and not too much more
- Watch: I need this so I can make sure I’m early. Even though #6 and #7 have clocks built in I still like having the convenience of a wrist watch.
- Maglite: I’ve carried this with me since I was a projectionist. Surprising how often having a torch is useful.
- Mobile Phone: I’m not a big mobile phone user. My first phone was a brick – when it suffered multiple systems failure last year I opted for a slinky modern slim line number in silver.
- Dell Axim X50: I spent a long time avoiding having a handheld but eventually I succumbed. It doesn’t run my life although it does remind me to do those jobs I’d rather forget to do.
- Think Outside Slimline Keyboard: This lets me write when I’m away from home without having the hassle of typing up notes afterwards.
- Stamps
- Cards: Membership cards, store loyalty scheme, library card and bank cards. #2 needs to have lots of space for these.
- Used Rail Ticket: No matter how hard I try I always seem to find one of these in my wallet. Usually from or to Liverpool. Still they make good emergency bookmarks.
- Pen and Organiser: Before I got # 7 I relied on my Muji aluminium organiser to keep track of phone numbers and other mundane stuff. Now it’s got a few essentials and lots of blank paper for those times I can’t set up #7 and #8 or when the battery goes flat.
- Comb: I’m no style guru (really I’m not) but I do have one grooming item with me pretty much all the time.

Always interesting to see what someone carries with him or her. I did a handbag TT some weeks ago. We have quite some things in common.
My TT: Thirteen things I do on the computer.
I think I have keys… and that’s about it. Mini filo-fax/purse the odd time LOL
Hehe, I used to always wear my watch… now it sits at the bottom of my purse. I wish I had an alphasmart. I think I’d carry that thing around with me…. ok maybe not, it might just be that I want one
Ha! Hubby and I have two Maglites — a small one and a great big one. So handy — they’re some of the best flashlights around.
Thanks for a fun list, and happy TT!
I don’t carry all the fancy gadgetry. I’d be afraid to look at the other junk in the bottom of my purse. Wait until you get old, and you’ll have six different pairs of glasses with you at all times, just in case you misplace another pair. Good list, makes me jealous of the stuff!
My pockets are usually empty unless i’m on a photoshoot – then i’m bulgy butt girl with batteries and lense caps and rags and keys and cellphone and all the other essentials while keeping my hands free for the camera. No wonder people laugh at me during a shoot.
LOVE the used transit card! And fewer holes in the pockets, too. Nice details.
Happy TT!
Interesting things you carry – kind of McGuyverish! That’s a good thing. Have a great week, and Happy TTing.

Ahhhh Liverpool…always wanted to visit there, being a Beatles fan and all
I think I’m the last person on earth left using a Palm pilot…but I love it and depend on it…and I can sync it with my MacBook!
Wow…I’m impressed! Happy TT!
I would need a list of more than 13 items to list everything I have with me at all times. Especially on a band rehearsal night! Then the list grows exponentially. Cool idea for a list.
How cool is #8 – didn’t know it existed.
Thanks for an interesting and educational list. I’m all about cows on parade over at http://www.chicken-scratch.ca.
Great idea for a TT! I’d be scared to list the things you might find in my purse.
Happy TT!
Even when I clean out my purse, you are bound to find way too much junk in there. And with 7 kids, its pretty scarey to even reach down to the bottom most days. Yikes!
See now I always have a watch to make sure I’m not too too late. Early is generally not a problem.
Happy TT.
Watches in bags? Perhaps I misread.
Either way, you have far more goodies on your person than I do. I hate it when my pockets become over loaded
Congrats on being the featured TT *grin*
I love the mini-keyboards – no more writing names/numbers on my hand [the shopping list is already there]! Hmmm, the cutie has receipts and ticket stubs in his wallet too, it must be a guy thing because I toss them unless I need to keep them, then their in the study.
We all have so much stuff we have to carry with us. I have a cell phone and would rather not. The thing drives me nuts.
Thank you thank you thank you. My friends think I’m the biggest geek because I have a few electronic Bluetooth gizmos but wit till they learn thay you have a keyboard! Ha! that is until I break down and get one.
My Thursday 13 is up. It’s #39.
I only have my watch and keys on me most of the time.
Happy TT.
Be well and enjoy the day
Thanks for the great idea about the slimline….and Happy TT!
I love those maglites! They can really come in handy. Very nice technologies, esp. the fancy keyboard!
You should be prepared for anything!!
Great list!
My husband loves his Maglite.
If I counted I’d probably find more than #13 things in my purse.
Interesting list.
Happy thursday!
I like to travel light myself. You sure had quite a list.
)
Happy Thursday.
Do you really carry all these things with you?! Wow!
Great list. I enjoyed reading it.
What a great list – I love the use of a ticket as a bookmark (I often use a dollar bill)
Oh my gosh! all those little cards…credit, department store, grocery store, it never ends. I have so many I can never find the one I need when I’m at that store!!! UGH!!!!!
I vote to stop with all the little cards!!!
Happy TT- Great list–
