I'm a bad person
I just buy a smart water and reuse the platic bottle until it's gross enough that I replace it. I also need a proper water bottle

i think this is a dialect disconnect because in american english "bandages" usually just means these little guys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive_bandage

I have plasters, I would hope that if bandages are necessary that perhaps an ambulance will be called!

hey if it happens halfway through there might still be enough heat left in the oven for it to bake completely, even if it's not optimally

yes I actually do need to come up with a cuddle companion to live in this bag. My previous bag has Smallbird who is a small bird and has a PhD.

you are allowed to carry knives in the uk but you either need to have a "good reason" to be carrying, e.g. you're a chef travelling to or from work, or for everyday carry purposes they need to have a blade less than 3", fold, and have no locking mechanism.
the government is very gung-ho about knife crime, which is admittedly a problem but they are so showy about it - they're banning "ninja swords" now which have been used in approximately zero crimes

You should carry around a stuffed animal so you just always have a friend with you. Also glasses cleaner.

small bottle of hand sanitiser or wet wipes, microfiber cloth, bobby pins, hair ties or rubber bands, compact mirror, tiny sewing kit like the hotel amenity size ones, hard candy if you're confident ants won't attack your bag. i like multifunction pens with mechanical pencils in them. tampons or pads if you use them?

Woah, I went over two decades of life and never learned you can't carry knives in the UK. (But you probably don't need to jerry rig public accommodations on a semiregular basis either hehe)
For dental purposes, I also pack miswack sticks into my go-bag instead of toothbrushes. (My thinking is "floss gets you 50% of the way there but I would also like to brush".)
The idea is that you cut the bark at the end and chew on it for dental hygiene. When the end gets dirty, you can just cut off the half inch and get a fresh half inch.
But they're plastic shrink-wrapped, cheap, and you can also use them with toothpaste if you want.

I have a gerber dime which I carry around as a regular multitool, uk knife laws mean most leathermans with blades are off the table, and I did want a blade so I got one with a teeny little blade. Floss is definitely a good idea!

Leatherman makes the good swiss army knives and I keep getting use of it. Adds weight but doesn't take much volume!
I also keep art wire and floss with me, which have come in useful (wire) in highschool for picking poorly made doorlocks and (floss) for flossing.
