Default Re: what's in your wallet?

umm I would have to go hunt it up but best guess...

2 CCs (DHs wallet on the other hand!)
insurance card
library card
expired ID

I never carry it really, DH has my check card that we never got around to activating it (he has it cause he is more likely to be near an ATM than I am, not that we ever remember to do anything about it!) Anyway I had to actually ask my mother to buy DHs christmas present cause I didn't want to tell him why I needed the check card and didn't want to use the CC, silly. (oh and the fact that I hate EBaying is another factor, almost greatful for the Check card thing to get out of it!)

This is neat 'cause I just bought a new wallet at TJ Maxx (clearance price of $7.00.) I took my old wallets to Goodwill. In my new wallet, I have $12.28 cash, a MasterCard, ATM card, expired Sam's card (I like the picture!), a fishing license, drivers license, a student ID card, library card, POA card, a medical insurance card, a coupon for dog food, a SC lottery ticket, my little black phone book and 3 NicoDERM patches!
