This morning when I was out I made a mental note to sort out my much beloved crumpler handbag before sundown. It was in complete chaos - too much stuff and a lot of it just needing processing. I was feeling nervous because there were business card contacts in there that had not been scanned and god forbid even a couple of appointments written on scraps of paper when I was feeling under the weather and my iphone had run out of battery! Sacre bleu!
Well I paid the price for this momentary state of disorganisation this afternoon (before sundown). Racing to see my daughter do her "Bend it like Beckham" impersonation in a school soccer comp I decided to stop at the service station, fill up and buy two of those tasty vitamin waters as a bit of a pick me up. Arriving at the school I took a mouthful then carried the unopened one for Poppy and put mine in the chaotic handbag so we wouldn't get mixed up.
You guessed it. By the time I walked to the soccer match from the car I had a drenched handbag. What's the damage you ask?
Those receipts/cards? Some of them unreadable!
One drowned cheque book.
Wet but hopefully undamaged gadgets - iPhone, Flip Video Camera, iPod and GPS - (how many gadgets does a girl need?)
Sopping halo headphones :-(
Sticky makeup brush, and other girlie bits!
Oh dear.. I have to ring to people to get those appointment times first thing in the morning. I have to dry the business cards by the heater then manually enter the details because I doubt they will scan in their damaged state. Then I just have to hope and pray that my gadgets will work faster having had such a nice drink of vitamin water for happy hour!
Lesson? Don't let the mess gather up either on your desk, in your intray or in your handbag. The chaos that could result is not pleasant!
