Phew, just about made it from ripped-jeaned mum to plausibly employable professional in just 72 hours.
But here’s the inventory of what I had to empty out of my bag in order to restock it with grown up things like business cards and make up:
Two packets of colouring pencils from a child-friendly restaurant
Six 2010 season Match Attax trading cards (happy to trade if there are any Hull fans out there)
Two Love Film DVDs that I STILL haven’t had time to watch
a glittery hair tie
a single, child’s sock
five notebooks (have rationalised down to one)
two biros that don’t work
one pencil, minus point
6 Eurocents
a compilation CD
a wrist support
two miniature bodylotions from a hotel bathroom
a nit comb
the timetable for kids classes at the local sports centre
sunglasses (it was rainy)
a wooly mitten (it was warmish though)
four packets of tissues
a Build-a-bear loyalty card
Return family tickets to Manchester for a fortnight ago
an empty bag of Haribo
a tiny booklet of seed sticks
out of date book bag notes
a cheque book with no cheques left
two pots of Vaseline rose flavoured lip balm
an AA battery
a conker
An inventory that has particular relevance to the Boy Scouts’ (please forgive me for not knowing the Girl Guides own pithy equivalent if in fact it is, or was, different) motto ….! A similar collection can be found in this dad-of-2’s car glovebox!
Ditto on the good outcome from interview. G.
Better than a handful of screwed up Co-operative reciepts, out dated notifications from school, old tabacco and no rizzla!
Sounds like a particularly weird conveyor belt haul on The Generation Game.
Hope u did well in yr interview.
