Every year I buy new inserts for the following year. I love it.

An a5 wouldn't fit in my bag, so would be no good to keep on my person. A pocket isn't big enough for all my household things. After you've decided on size, the fun begins. There's so many styles and colours to choose from, though I have to say that price is limiting to me, there's some really expensive ones. Have a look on Philofaxy, there's loads of reviews on there which should give you a better idea. Have fun choosing.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-22571461109789979712012-11-20T11:52:49.863+00:002012-11-20T11:52:49.863+00:00Ooh, ooh ...

I like the pocket size to carry around with me, but I definitely wouldn't be able to fit all my household stuff in it so this is where the a5 comes in. I would have liked the pocket Malden in crimson, but I don't think they do that either. I look forward to hearing more about your pocket size filofax.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-71341685938275205072012-11-19T19:50:11.742+00:002012-11-19T19:50:11.742+00:00Good grief!

I'm a chronic list maker so I love having a nice book to keep writing them in. At the end of each school year my book of lists is also a great log of day to day activity in the department. I had a folifax back in the 90s but I'd forgotten how flexible and useful they can be.

I used to use the diary inserts, but since Violet starting school I tend to have so many things to put in each day, that it's become too small to be useful. I invested in a Family organiser for this year, but it still doesn't fit everything in. Nowadays my Filofax has blank pages, for thoughts, memos, to do lists, etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845451731282180142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-2825861144434805622012-11-19T12:49:00.548+00:002012-11-19T12:49:00.548+00:00I love stationary, notebooks, diaries :) I don'...I love stationary, notebooks, diaries :) I don't use a diary as we have a wall calendar and that seems to manage us, but always love a new notebook to add to my stash :) xMylittlepieceofenglandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13010447131003277696noreply@blogger.com
