The pen in your handbag...

I’ve a Cross pen, it was a gift for X donations from the National Blood Transfusion Service.

I never keep a pen in my handbag, I don’t spend money on much else but I do like a nice handbag, either Kipling or Radley. And after a pen leaking on the lining of one of my favourite bags I am not prepared to risk it, I prefer to make notes on my phone.

Mines a bog standard biro. I’ve had nice pens in the past and end up losing them .

A dear friend bought me a silver Swarowski pen which I treasure. It writes beautifully and hasn't needed a refill even though I've had it quite a few years. Before that it was a cheap pen which was a freebie.

Currently one with remembrance poppies bought from the British Legion stall the other day.

I’m sure pens have a life of their own - I am forever putting one in whichever bag I’m using but have few memories of taking one out.

Midgey - indeed what handbag? I tend to keep a pen, a chapstick and a nail file in each handbag. Just my wallet and keys and today's lipstick get transferred.

I'll have to rummage my other bags to find my decent pen.

It’s a nice biro, got 🍋 lemons on a grey background, writes nicely and I bought it for myself.
It lies in the bottom of my handbag and I’ve managed to not lose it so far.

What handbag?

I bought a really pretty pink glittery pen a few years back - it had gone missing, but I found it lurking in my bedside cabinet. The ink had dried - ordered refills yesterday …looking forward to using it again

You mean pen(s) we used to have a team in a quiz night, so I always had a few, nothing special, the one I favour came out of a posh Christmas cracker!

No, but it’s bright orange, I bought it at Stonehenge a couple of years ago. I like it because it’s so bright that it’s easy to find in my black lined bag, whereas I’m scrabbling around when I use nice, but subtle pens.

Nothing significant, just a bog-standard 0.5 needle-nib gel pen that I won't mind losing or lending and never getting back. My DH has several pens and pencils which it would destroy his sanity to lose, including a fountain pen he's had since his apprenticeship years (bumble-mumble years ago) and the two-inch stub of a chisel-leaded hand-sharpened woodworking pencil, the top quarter of an inch of which is taken up by a blackened rubber worn down to the metal. Oh well, it takes all sorts.

Just a generic cheapie

What pen....I can never find it. 😖

The pen in my handbag was a free gift from a coach company. Unfortunately it ran out recently so I need a replacement.

I bought myself a link filofax pen it writes beautifully. Present to myself.
