Just about everything others have mentioned ( no wonder my bag is so heavy) and ever since a violent stomach bug a few years ago I always have a pair of emergency knickers. Have never need to use them but I do like to know they are there!!

A pen and a small notebook - for shopping lists, exchanging names and phone numbers, noting Eddie Stobart truck names........

I'll buy one Galen. We have 4 Dgc tonight - nuff said!

A portable black hole!
It folds up and when you're stressed you take it ou, unfold it, step into it it and all time and space is void for the time you're inside.
No gran should be without one!
I'm thinking of setting up a company to market them.

Little see through purse containing Imodium,Rennies, plasters and paracetamol. The two former ones are the most important.
