Inside Mo's Bag

Just to give you a bit more about what's inside Mo's bag...

Wallet -- it was actually full to the gunnels with cards, receipts, money and change. I didn't look at the receipts but will do on future interviews. Mo's finances have been a bit of a bone of contention with her husband. She was a bit debt when they got married and he wants her to pay her credit cards off. She's not great about this -- she works in fashion, likes lovely stuff and is a great present-giver. It's hard for her to live within her means and having Bette-Lou has put an added strain on their relationship. She hasn't been working since Bette-Lou has been born and so no money has been coming in.

IR Cheque -- she just recently received this cheque and was looking for a bank to deposit it in when we conducted this interview. She wanted to use it to take a nice holiday. Her husband wanted her to put it towards the credit card.

Favourite Pen -- Mo is a great writer of lovely notes. She likes to write her friends notes and likes to keep in touch. She MUST have a pen in her handbag at all times. She likes the pens that are more like fountain pens.

Bette-Lou's stuff -- as I mentioned, the tee shirt and apple juice is a spill over from the diaper bag. It wouldn't all fit and her Furla is big enough so it could take the extra load. It's not easy for Mo to separate her career life from her mother life.

Mirror -- Mo wants to look good -- as good as she looked before she became a mother and didn't have time for herself. She keeps the mirror in her bag so she can make sure she is keeping it together.
