What's in my bag?

I've always wanted to do one of these posts because I always LOVE reading everyone else's!  So here's mine...

1. Post a picture of the bag, purse, handbag, pocketbook [whatever you call it] that you are carrying. Now, don't you even think about going back there to your closet and getting your very favorite one or that cute little vintage clutch that you carried the last time you went out...I want to see the purse that you carried today!

2. Tell us how much it cost. Oh my, I know what you are thinking - a proper lady would never discuss matters of money, darling. Well, yes, but today we are gonna break that rule and tell. Yes, tell how much it cost. We won't judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. And if there is a story that goes along with this purse, tell it.

This is the bag that I carry around most of the time just now.  It's from River Island and I think it cost about £36.99, something like that?  I love River Island bags.

This is what it's full of!  Let's have a closer look...

Baby you're a firework

Heylo, wow it's so cold again!  I guess I shouldn't be so surprised, it is kinda almost November!


I finished my training course at work yesterday.  I acted in a video with my team, for the rest of the group to watch.  I played a "difficult" employee and it was so embarrassing to act!  Also I found it so hard to keep a smile off my face!  Just about managed it though.  Then it was sooooooooooo cringe-worthy sitting with the rest of the group watching it!  I was so out of my comfort zone, but that's good.  Got to get out there!  I met some nice people on the course too, so it was all good :)


I had a splitting headache last night.  It sort of came from nowhere.  I had a slight headache during the day, took painkillers, which made no difference.  Painkillers hardly ever help me with headaches.  I think I just take them out of habit when I get a headache.  The only ones that ever make any difference are soluble Solpadine but I don't want to take them too often.  Anyway, the headache carried on after I got home, and then suddenly it got drastically worse.  I had to switch the laptop off there and then and go straight to bed.  When my boyfriend came in he got me Solpadine.  I was just going to try and sleep it off  but the last time I had a headache like that, I managed to get to sleep but it was still there when I woke up in the middle of the night.  The Solpadine helped a lot.  At first I thought it was because I'd worn my contact lenses all day, but I've now decided that it's my Pill.


When I first got the pill when I was 17, the doctor put me on Microgynon.  I later came off that (can't remember when) and changed to Cileste.  I was on that for a good few years before I stopped it.  I only stopped it because I wasn't having sex at the time.  I remember that for those years I was on Cileste I suffered from bad & constant headaches, but I never put it down to the pill.  I was never out of the doctors about my headaches and they ended up sending me for an MRI scan, which came back clear, and they could never explain them.  I got sick of going in the end and just put up with the headaches.  It was terrible though, I could hardly do anything, it was hard to cope at work, I couldn't have a drink or do other "normal" things.


Eventually, thankfully, the headaches subsided.  I now realise that they probably subsided, because I stopped taking Cileste, and when I went back on the pill, it was a different one, it was Ovranette.  I've had a few pill-related issues recently and the doctor had suggested I change pill, and gave me Cileste.  Surprise surprise, the headaches are back!  I'm blaming Cileste!  I've made an appointment to go back and to explain this and get a different pill, but it's not til next Friday.  I don't want to stop taking the pill before then just in case so I'll just have to put up with it til then.  I was in tears last night, mainly because I was so worried that things were going to go back to the way they used to be when I was plagued with headaches.


Health issues!!!  Between this and going back to the hospital about my heart I am swamped with them! xoxo
