Minnie the Moocher Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 With two small people in tow it is impossible to pack light. I remember the days and yearn for them – I wouldn't be without the children, obviously – but sometimes a small handbag would be so nice. Last week in my cavernous Mary-Poppins-style handbag I had: *Wipes *Snacks *Change of clothes for potty-training-sometimes-catch-it-sometimes-don't youngest child *Portable potty *Crayons and paper *Plastic dinosaurs and several toy cars *OH's wallet, phone and keys... ...halfway through the day I realised I had left my purse and phone at home and everything in the bag belonged to someone else. Grrrrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrrrrrrrr Oh, i remember those days Minnie.... spare pair of pants in my bag (no, not mine), tigger toy, half a loo roll, wipes, colouring book and crayons It doesn't get a lot easier as they get older 'cos they still need somewhere to park all their clutter!

Pack horse more like... as they get bigger so does the clutter that seems to be essential.
