Someone once thought it was funny that I keep an emergency biscuit in my handbag    I usually squirrel away those ones you get free with a cup of coffee.

Unfortunately the one time I needed it, it was too small and it was in pieces!

I also keep:

A spare pair of knickers
A spare liner, S towel, big tampon.
Polythene bag for emergency disposal (or not)
Tissues
Ibuprofen
Paracetamol

This is my menopause survival kit    I have a version in each of my bags.

I need a backpack at the moment. Clean trousers, knickers, pad, wipes, toilet paper ( following incontinence episode yesterday!) plus reliever inhaler with spacer, phone, purse, plus any other junk that sneaks in. Hopefully I will be able to downsize soon. I look as if I'm leaving home!

I have paracetamol, ibuprofen, indigestion and IBS tablets in case we eat out, Thyroid tablets for afternoon dose in case we are late back, Rescue Remedy, tissues, a pen, personal info for me and also for my dog (neighbour's details etc), phone, purse,

Must admit Ju Ju, the one time I needed my spare knickers, I also needed the spare trouser I just happened to have to change into later 

I also have the other stuff like antihistamines, throat sweets, blisteze, and the pen.  I have one with a torch on it which in theory would be amazingly useful, only I never remember I have it when I need it 

(has anyone got any good substitutes for the crumbling biscuit?)

My kit is my insurance! Not sure where I could have cleaned up when I had my accident. Glad to say I didn't open my back pack today.

(has anyone got any good substitutes for the crumbling biscuit?)

Yes, Fruesli bars

Unfortunately they are a bit nutty    Structurally, they are ideal though

The blueberry and red berries ones don't have nuts in

Good thread, I have tissues, wipes, purse, cuticle cream, lippy, mirror, cocodomal lipgloss pretty boring really,moh and headphones xxx

Love this thread!

I also tuck away the free coffee biscuits for emergencies.
Plus paracetamol, pen, hairbrush, lippy, miniature sewing kit (from a cracker), miniature screw driver kit (from cracker) and the all important hand sanitizer

I also have a credit card sized photo book of my family in case I see anyone I have not seen for years and then I can whip it out and bore them silly

My pharmacist friend is insistent that I should always eat something when taking ibuprofen.

Therefore, the emergency biscuit is more important than I initially thought.
