Guest post- Esmé's Filofax

Hey everyone.

I am soo excited today to tell you that this post is a very special guest post!!!!

This guest post is a rather privileged look in to Esmé's Mini Finsbury Filofax. Esmé is my youngest daughter and is 4 years old.

When asked what she used her Filofax for she said "just scribbling things and stuff".

So without further a do, it's over to Esmé.





My mummy gave me my Filofax. I like it because it is small and pink and sweet.




I keep important things at the front like train tickets, so I can go on the train. The sticker of the Master is mummy's. She loves the Master. The chicken is mine.




Mummy made my dashboard. I wanted one because mummy has one in her Filofax which she writes things on. Mine has got mice on it though.




This is just the back of it where I write my name.




These are my animal stickers. I like stickers.




My mummy gave me the little pen to put inside so I can write things when I'm out.







This is my scribbling page where I am planning a party.




This is where I write things I need to look for, like toys and games.




I keep my money in here so it's safe.




In here I keep my spare stickers.




I got the hole punch this afternoon and put some holes in my stickers so they don't fall out of my Filofax.
















So there we have Esmé's Filofax.

We hope you enjoyed this post.

Esmé would love to hear any comments you have on it.

The Mini Gainsborough Filofax Meet Up

In Attendance.
Sally
Tracy
Esmé

Menu.
coffee, fruit shoot and mini muffins.

Friday 3rd November saw the first mini Filofax meet up in Gainsborough. The event took place in Costa coffee in Marshall's Yard.



Sally brought along her personal Domino in purple, and pocket Kensington in black.



I brought with me my crimson pocket Malden and A5 finsbury in pink.



Sally uses her pocket Kensington for personal use and the domino for work.
I use my pocket Malden for personal and my finsbury for uni notes.
We chatted about how we use our diaries and I was in awe of the many different ways Sally had tried working a diary. I tend to stick with week to view and little else in the Malden, but have month to view in the finsbury.
We moved on to the wonders of post it notes, and how I use them in my Malden as to do's.
Conversation them moved on to using pocket Filofaxes as purses. We both use them for this purpose so it was good to compare.



Overall, a good time was had by all. Esmé enjoyed her mini muffins, and we enjoyed being nosy.
So there you go. An insight into the first Gainsborough Filofax meet up.
If you want to read more about Sally then you can find her blog Here
It was very nice to meet you Sally.

The new edition to the Filofax Family. Florance the A5 Finsbury

The German Filofax sale was a big disappointment to a lot of us, including me. I too was one of those who ordered the A5 Finchley in Rose and never received it.
But, I don't hold grudges for long and was soon looking for a replacement.
I wanted an A5 Filofax to take to uni to use for making notes in lectures and seminars. It would be a big bonus if it was pink too.

Imy was selling one on her blog so I had a look. A5 Finsbury
It was lovely, and it was pink.
I ummed and aahhed, and finally bought it.
She was called Florance, and was packaged very well for her journey to her new home.

There are a lot of photos from now of her arrival, and the careful unwrapping from my young able assistant, Esmé.



Esmé impatiently awaiting the arrival.



She is here!!!!!!!!



All packaging looked good.



I get to have a quick pose for a photo, then it is back in the hands of my assistant.



Carefully unwrapping her.











The unveiling.


Out she comes.


"Wow, it's beautiful" says Esmé.


Her face says it all.


Just checking through to make sure everything is ok.








Esmé loves the little leaflets that come with Filofaxes.








Flicking through the Dodo-pad.





Checking out the pens that Imy kindly sent.





Putting the first pen in it's loop.


And the second pen.


So there we have it. The arrival of Florence the A5 Finsbury. Another post will be coming soon, as to how I set her up.

The A5 Dodo-Pad Filofax Dilemma

So my dilemma is this. I bought a Filofax off the lovely Imy and inside it had the 2011 Dodo-Pad.







There are many ways this can be used as a diary. Imy did this Dodo-Pad Review

This is the example given in the Dodo-Pad.






As I intended to use the Filofax for my uni notes, having names across the top wasn't going to work for me.
So I tried it this way.






It seems that this way may work better for me.

So my question to you is this.

Have you got, or had the Dodo-Pad????







How are you, did you use it???

If I can get it to work for me then I will definitely get the 2012 diary.

I would be very interested to know
