Throw it all in Thursday!

OK a pre-warning coming here before I start - I have lots to throw at you today, so apologies for the mixed bag ahead of time. First up, I had spotted this post around the blogworld a few times and then Erin tagged me to share the contents of my handbag with my readers too!

Not very exciting I am afraid - just your regular contents! My sunglasses, purse, phone, hairbrush and hair clips. I also have my mints, lipbalm, camera (when I remember - does anyone else always carry theirs?), foldable tote bag, notebook, pocket diary and pen. Then the Burts Bee purse for painkillers, tissues etc and then the 'sweet' purse for spare keys and usb memory stick. My bag is huge and really not the best if you need to find anything in a hurry but I can't seem to part myself from it! When I was younger I used to be fascinated by the contents of people's handbags and I even think it was a regular feature in a teen magazine I used to read regularly. They always seemed so exciting but mine is plain boring I am afraid. OK time to pass this on and I choose the BonBonRose girls - would love to see inside their glamorous purses.

Second item on the agenda is a request for you to pop over to the gorgeous Julia on her lovely blog 'thisdaisy'. She is hosting a 'mixtape' swap and I signed up straight away. I love finding new music and artists and I haven't really found anyone for a while so I thought this was a great way to find new recommendations rather than relying on the radio for a change.

Last but by absolutely no means least (and I know she will not be in this position) I am asking you to please, please go pay a visit to my truly inspiring friend Erin at Pughs' News. The wonderful Erin is running 10k this Sunday and has worked her socks off in training and has improved her running at such an impressive rate. I am so in awe of her achievement thus far, let alone the run she will undertake at the weekend. So please pop over and wish her good luck - Erin I know you will be completely amazing and I just wish I could be there to cheer you on.

OK thank you so much for listening to my random ramblings today, I hope your week has been good and tomorrow is Friday (yeah!)
