Your Wallet

Post by [Syl] »

Borrowing from an article I posted in the Tank earlier, describe your wallet and what you have in it.

Wallet: black, leather magnetic money clip (something like this)

Contents:
-driver's license
-check card
-military ID (no really, that's me. I swear)
-credit card
-insurance card
-social security card (I know, I know)
-my credit union's business card
-punch card for Smoothie Central (which is now closed. luckily only one punch)
-picture of my son and two nieces
-Supercuts card (buy 12, 13th free. only nine more to go)
-library card
-PJ's Coffee card (buy 9, 10th free. three more. not bad, considering I've only been there once)
-Blockbuster card
-$12 (USD).
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

A topic I've never seen before?! :o

Well, let's see. Until a couple of weeks ago, my wallet was a rather stylish little black Thundercats job. 8) But the coin pocket split, so switched to the other wallet I got last Christmas (clearly people are running out of gift ideas).

My current wallet is a black leather one with a detachable card display bit, a little like this, but with a coin pocket on the left rather than card slots.

Now to riffle through it and see what I find:

-84p in change
-some receipts, mainly from supermarkets
-driving licence
-combined Bangor University / National Union of Students card
-reminder that I can bank online (I tend to forget unless I'm constantly confronted with a reminder)
-Bangor University library facilities leaflet thing. Not sure why I've still got this.
-one first class postage stamp
-a Total petrol points card thingy
-a Morrisons one of the above
-breakdown recovery card
-Nottinghamshire Libraries card
-Blockbuster Video card for the West Bridgford branch
-Mensa membership card
-Virgin Mobile top-up card, which I never use
-bank card/debit card

Mine's bi-fold leather, the leather on the outside's in two shades divided along the length, in light and dark brown. Looked very good when I bought it, but after just one week of being sat on was quite badly scuffed and has gotten gradually worse since.

Contents:
-Waterstone's Card
-Vodafone top-up card
-Piece of paper with train journey details and ticket collection code from last year
-Abbey National cash card
-Expired NatWest Servicecard
-NatWest Servicecard
-Wallet's original price label
-National Insurance Number card
-University of York Library card (no longer valid)
-Provisional driver's licence
-(Many) Debit transaction receipts
-Expired Vue cinema money off voucher
-Young Person's Railcard
-(Many) ATM receipts
-£30 cash


(Until a month or two ago, there would have been twice as many expired cards, and a few more bits of paper with train details. I've cleaned the wallet out a bit recently, though.)

Uhm...

I carry two wallets.

The first is a tri-fold burgundy (to match my hobo style bag MIL got me two Chr-stmases ago). It contains what I consider my essential items:

drivers license
Visa credit card
Master Card debit card
ATM card
Wal-Mart tax exempt card for 2006
Target Red Card
University of Florida Tax Exempt Card for 2006
Lane Bryant Card
JC Penney Card
Sam's Club Member Card
AAA
Publix uPromise Card
Winn-Dixie Rewards Card
CVS Extra Care Card
tons of receipts I need to file
no cash

The second wallet is a bi-fold with a card holder insert. It contains less essential items such as:

University of Florida Student-Spouse ID
Blockbuster Card
Beorn's Medicaid and Childrens Medical Service Cards
Beorn's birth card (considered a legal birth certificate, no one ever believes his age so I carry it with me for when needed)
Beorn's record of immunizations card
Beorn's and my social security cards
Ben and Jerry's Scoop Shop frequent patron card *blush*
free movie admittance ticket via the Regal Crown Club
various business cards for hair dresser, rental agent, etc.
Voters Registration for both Hyperception and myself
SteinMart Preferred Customer Card
Regal Cinemas Royal Crown Club Membership Card
mine and Beorn's library cards
tons of receipts I need to file away
pictures of Beorn and Hyperception
and wow!!
$20 cash I didn't know I had

woo-hoo!!

:biggrin:

Like Luci, my handbag has even more junk in it.

Nope, I work in the Backroom. Activity that goes on when it comes to sales is a strange new world of lights and people that I don't want to explore. lol
