After a bit of a search online I found a Filofax that I thought might serve as my purse and Filofax. I found it on the Filofax Sweden site, so did a quick currency conversion and then pondered for a bit, but on Sunday I decided to purchase it. I came home from work today (Wednesday) and it had arrived! Brilliant service in my opinion! I opened the parcel and tipped out the contents to find my new organiser, the invoice sheet and some banded diary inserts. I opened the…

A Splash Of The Outdoors
I thought I would put something nice inside the front of my Filofax to remind me of the outdoors. I love this photo! I took it when I was in Sweden in July/August 2011 for the 22nd World Scout Jamboree. We went on a nature hike around a local nature park and I just had to take this photo! It reminds me of all the fun I had and all the friends and memories I’ve made. Would love to go back soon. Views: 2391
Read MoreFilofax Inserts Update
Well it’s been a few days of using my new set up of a month overview (on 2 pages) with day per page behind it followed by the next month etc. behind that. So far so good! I am really liking how I can see my day in front of me so I know what I need to do when. I have mainly been writing my brief lesson plans for the day time hours but have written in when I am supposed to be packing up to go home, learning…
Read MoreMonth overview sorted!
As I have been procrastinating about doing anything work related as I have been craving some “me” time I have now made myself some month per view pages on light blue paper! This was the 2nd trial – it worked ok! I used the month per view template from Philofaxy and instead of using the Excel sheet it wanted I used the A5 one and re-linked all the months and days. I did this because I got very confused with the personal sized Excel sheet! I also changed the paper…
Read MoreA5 pages in my personal are annoying
So last week I put some A5 pages I’d made into my personal (punched along the top short edge and folded) so I could write more on the pages. Turns out I don’t like this and it looks messy. Am also not sure if I like the week to view with dpp in between, mainly because there are 7 days in a week but that needs 8 sides of paper and therefore one of next weeks days is not where it should be. For this reason I might resort to…

It’s late, you’re tired, you got into bed and the light is out but then you pick up your iPhone and look at several blogs about Filofax and their owners and all the creative stuff they have inside theirs. You look at the clock – 3 hours ago you should have been in bed (hopefully asleep). True you didn’t get into bed until about an hour ago but still that means for 45 minutes or so you have been clicking and scrolling your way through pages of posts and comments,…

Finally got my Staples reward card in the post! This will only lead to further purchases… Can feel some good quality A4 plain paper and sticky tabs coming my way next pay day… And perhaps a new toner for my laser printer… What would be in your trolley? Views: 1801
Read MoreMy New Customised Inserts
So here they are! My new inserts, going to try them over the next week to see how I get on and if they need tweaking or anything. Already thinking of adding some colour to them. Have also made some dividers to add a bit of colour (some sort of designs to be added when I locate my pens) in the meantime… Views: 834
Read MoreCustom Insert Trial
Made myself these custom inserts for my personal Filofax tonight! Was a little complex at first but with some perseverance I have managed to get them sorted. Will need to adjust the position on the page slightly but they are pretty spot on. Shame my trimmer doesn’t seem to like the paper or the blade is not working properly. Views: 816
Read MoreCustom Inserts
I have been using the week per view insert that came with my Filofax (which I like – bought one the same layout for my A5 as that had a vertical one and I can’t get on with that sort, had the A5 prior to my personal sized Songbird purchase too). However, I am still not convinced this is the best set up so I have also been trying a Dodo pad insert as well. I like the colourfulness and the images in the Dodo but I am not getting…
