    You can't tell from the image, but this beauty is marginally bigger than a credit card when closed, which is perfect because I don't carry cash... just like the Queen.

    Yeah, but she's done run up one hell of a tab, and Mister Morelli is thinking about sending Luigi over to pay her a visit if she don't start....just a word to the wise, mind you.

    i've been thinking about getting a wallet like this.. or a ridge wallet, as i usually don't carry cash. i don't have one yet because i worry it'll slide out of my pocket some how, when i'm not looking.

    Got a few bits in the post today over the last few days :)

    New wallet case for my new phone. It's really nice, real leather :)

    New case for my Switch, because the old one didn't have enough slots to hold my games

    Gauntlet Legends and Banjo Kazooie for N64

    If you really wanna play that game...here's my current purse:

    I got it in a charity shop, and it cost me 50p. It's not even waterproof, so I carry it around in it's own little plastic bag! That said, I have no plans to upgrade it. :p

    Just ordered a complete Fringe box set. Can't wait to re-watch this. I've missed Walter.

    I went through a phase where I was obsessed with minimalist wallets, so much so I bought some leather, learnt how to saddle stitch and made my own. I've been using it for about 3 years now and I'm pretty sure wallets can't possibly come any smaller than this.

    There's another slot behind the 'go to' one you see that holds another 4 cards.

    Nice! Tell me not to be such a nosy bastard if you like, but did that cost an awful lot of money?

    Nope, that's absolutely fine! I paid £180 for it, which was a bit below market rate because it's used, but apparently in perfect condition. I have a lot of soft synths which can do everything the Microbrute does and more, but because I never learned the basics of synthesisers, I find them really intimidating. There are so many options, it's totally overwhelming, and every time I sit down and look at the synth and think "this is the day I figure this out", I just get overwhelmed. So this little thing will let me sit on my sofa, play with the filters, LFOs, envelopes etc, and figure out the basics of synthesis :)

    I bought some D&D dice, a book by Rainbow Powell, and a National Geographic that focuses on the history of the devil.

    I love it!

    Also, just saying, but I might have an Assassin's Creed wallet....so I'm biased towards some wallets.

    Correct. Until I broke my left arm a few weeks ago, then it was switched to front right.

    A telescopic back scratcher that looks like a skeleton hand, Anise pastilles in a little oval tin, and incense.

    I liked the Halloween vibe of the skeleton hand. Looks creepy sticking out of the pencil cup on my desk. ;-)

    mine sits carefully poised in a tableside drawer, ready to swipe at those itches!
