TFE: The Monday Challenge!

I'd hate to miss the bus, and at least I have learnt two valuable lessons from this week's prompt.
1. Never empty your handbag
2. I cannot write an acrostic poem in ten minutes (horrendous weekend).

But not to be deterred, here it is, and you may at least admire my handbag, marvel at my favourite carpet and be utterly bemused by what I carry about with me every day. I should make it clear that I was never a Boy Scout, nor a Girl Guide. Ever.
