Not made a thread for a while just thought I'd randomly ask what peoples "EDC", as people like to call it today, is.
I never go out without...
Glasses
Phone
Wallet - even though there is rarely anything in it.
Keys
Also 9 times out of 10 I bring my trusty Swiss army knife if just walking the dog or something but I don't take this if I'm going somewhere busy like hospital or a restaurant.

Purse

Anxiety unless I can leave that home. -
It very much depends if I’m going alone or taking the kids out. If it's just me, I tend to take my door keys, car keys and wallet which contains some loyalty cards that I never use, as well as my debit card and my driving license.
If I'm taking one or all of the kids with me, it might be quicker to type what I don't end up having to bring!Community Manager

My glasses never leave my face except when sleeping and showering basically. I can't see too great without them.
Keys
Phone
I no longer have a wallet! Everything is on my phone now really.
10+ receipts in my jacket pocket that I always forget to clean out
IDThey/Them, however they are no wrong pronouns with me so whatever you feel most comfortable with

@Sandy_123 good one about the anxiety, I always take that, wish I could leave it at home as well, or even better take it out and dump it and then not have it at home either.
@Jimm_Scope I should really use my glasses all the time as well, I can see reading distance fine but I am not too good seeing distances, to the point that without my glasses, if I was ever able to go out without someone with me, I would not be comfortable crossing a road or something.

I take my phone, keys, rollator, hooded coat or cardigan and rapilose gel in case my partners blood sugar goes low
