Agreed KN, that is a lot of stuff.

a small pump that takes co2 canisters but can be used as a hand pump also.
1 co2 with the foam surround so your fingers don't freeze to it.
1 tyre lever
1 tube
park patch kit
multi tool
1 spare chain pin.
keys (just the 2 house keys)
latex gloves and one of those foil wrapped handwipes you get on flights.
mobile phone
couple of energy bars
£10 note

all fit in jersey pockets. the small bits go in a soft bag that came with some glasses.

still room in the pockets for arm warmers or more food for rides over 60miles.

waterproof shorts? ride home fast to keep warm!

All in jersey pockets:

Tube
2 Levers
Blackburn mini pump
Park patches (the tiny pre-glued ones)
Phone
Debit card with fiver round it (in sandwich bag with phone)
Keys
Few bars/gels
Crank Bros multitool (usually but not always)

And maybe armwarmers/gilet depending.

A couple of things (pump and multitool) are a bit bigger than they need to be but I can't really justify replacing them.
