I already posted the answer to the actual QOTW (What ODD things do you carry around)
but just to jump on the bandwagon, I checked out the contents of my purse (I mean handbag, sorry!) and have the following:
-as well as the mini stun gun and Buck knife (the mace is in my car) -

3 pound coins and a fifty pence piece
$5.74 in shrapnel
My passport
My best friends expired driving license - although why that is in there I have no idea!
My "new hire" letter for the job I started last week
1 bottle of Juniper Breeze hand cream
1 bottle of Juniper Breeze hand sanitizer
Various receipts.
Several notes (varying between $1 and $20)
Yesterday's driving test results (passed, with only 1 error out of an allowable 15 which makes me eligible to be a Driving Examiner for the DMV apparently. Woo! 1st driving license ever at the grand old age of 31!)
Oh yeah, and a pack of Marlboro lights, 3 lighters and my money purse (which contains various cards, my new drivers license - go me! - and a $20 bill).
And a 'nude' lipstick, lip balm, and a "you've won a free Coke" bottle cap in one of the side pockets.

I also carry anti-emetics. I have emetophobia (fear of vomit), and do not go anywhere without them. They actually come in handy as I hand them out to friends from time to time if they're feeling ill or something :D
