*sigh* What little ...
 

[Closed] *sigh* What little purse/pouch thing to stop coins rattling around my gym bag

[#4148178]

I can only imagine the suggestions I may get, but I'd like something to stop me having to fish loose change out of all the corners of my gym bag/camelbak. Ideally the following criteria will be met:

- It will not look like something my five year old niece would use (it may possibly look like something my six year old nephew would)
- It will not be one of those half-moon shaped change purses that old men use.
- It will not be a wallet with a bit for change. I have a wallet, and when it's not (rattling around) in my gym bag/camelbak my change is kept in my pocket.

I'm aware that a sandwich bag will meet the above requirements, and that may possibly be the solution I plump for. However, I thought I'd give you all the opportunity to have a laugh at my expense.

<sits back and awaits the onslaught>

Well, that would depend on whether it was worth showing off.

I think Mr Fanylion has come up with the probable solution.

Have one of these in the car for parking change (since the ashtray, my usual change spot, seems to have been abolished in new cars):

I cleverly solve the loose change storage problem by inserting the coins up my anus.

Second woody2000's suggestion; I have several 'roo bawbags from Australia and they're ideal for keeping loose change in - stops you wearing holes in the back pockets of trousers and jeans, too.

I could make you a little bag, with a velcro fastener at the top.
Have some nice green/brown striped fabric in stock 🙂

Little does IHN know that the little parcel I'm about to send him is made from an old sports sock that once belonged to my husband, question is to wash or not to wash? 😉

I use one of [url= http://www.fancythatoflondon.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=632 ]these[/url]. Picked it up at the airport once for the nipper, then stole it back when I realised it would come in handy.

It's patriotic like.

Edit to add: It fits an emergency bank card, emergency fiver, access badge for work, and coins.

I use plastic change bags from the bank or the little white mesh bags from the washing machine - saves having a purse!!!

These were going to be phone cases, however they'll make good mini wallets.

13 cm x 7 cm velcro fastening.
Anyone that would like one, I'll post out free for a small donation to:

Thanks
