Although some of them, I can't do...

FIVE ITEMS IN MY FRIDGE
There is very little of mine in my fridge. I share it and people nick things...
1. A block of parmesan cheese.
2. The remains of a hunk of Blacksticks Blue (a very good cheese made by Mrs Butlers of Lancashire).
3. Milk.
4. Herta frankfurters (disclaim all responsibility).
5. A .... thing, fortunately sealed in tupperware (again, I disclaim all resposibility).

FIVE ITEMS IN MY CLOSET WARDROBE
1. An M.A. hood (the gown is in college).
2. A ridiculously short kilt, that I only wear when I'm feeling brave.
3. A Scout shirt, which doesn't get much wear these days.
4. A biscuit tin (reasons of storage space).
5. Various jumpers, mostly shetland wool.

FIVE ITEMS IN MY CAR
Don't have a car. It's not worth the hassle round here.
My bike has a basket, a back carrier and two locks on it. I don't leave anything else attached, for obvious reasons....

FIVE ITEMS IN MY PURSE
1. Two Europe and three first class stamps. I write a lot of letters.
2. Various bits of ID.
3. A day pass from the Hamburg underground, in memory of a recent lovely holiday.
4. Cash.
5. A Finnish Euro. The swans are so pretty....

(Suspect purse may mean something different on the other side of the Atlantic, but hey...)

I don't do tagging - do it if you like, and let me know if you do.

I don't know, what does purse mean to you? I suppose we might also call it a handbag, if it was a small one. The thing we would actually keep money in is called a wallet, and that is carried inside the purse, along with checkbook, mints, and various other things. I have chapstick and teabags and often a tape measure and hand sanitizer and my USB drive and a book and all kinds of stuff, but I tend to carry a largish purse and try to be prepared for all sorts of circumstances. Actually here: this (http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=1-11/qid=1151502295/ref=sr_1_11/602-4326934-4173434?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin=B000BWZ39A) is a purse, and this (http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=1-11/qid=1151502347/ref=sr_1_11/602-4326934-4173434?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin=B000A7XD9S) is a wallet.

What you call purse we'd call a handbag, and purse is a term sometimes used for a wallet (though usually only if owned by a woman, and techically I suppose mine is a wallet, as purses tend to have more space for coins in them)

Thanks for the linguistic aid, anyway.
