Great minds think alike.

Last year Bryden and I used to live together. We spent so much time together we'd often have the same thoughts at the same time ('Lasagne!' and 'Let's go and buy loads of cake from Morrisons and eat until we feel sick!' being two of the more popular ones) and it's nice to see we still share this mental connection, even though we don't see each other every day.

We've both done a 'things I've bought lately' post today and as you can see we have some quite similar, completely coincidental items! Great minds do think alike.

Bag it up.

It's a bit of a blogger cliche to do a 'What's in my bag?' post, I know. Maybe I just wanted to show off my new handbag (or maybe I just wanted to use a Geri Halliwell song as a blog title), anyway here's all the crap I carry around on a daily basis...
