Should I carry on using the pocket Malden zip




Or do I go back to the pocket Enigma (with bigger rings)????



Decisions decisions.

Filofax Planner Fail-Part 2

So. Part 2.
I sorted the diary out and am now happy with that. I still keep thinking about that film and how he had everything in his Filofax. This used to be me. If you look over my previous posts I used to have all sorts in there. Little nik nacks, or happy things. For those of you who don't know. I'm currently using the Purple Pocket Zip Malden. It s lovely but only has 15mm rings. **Stamps feet**.
Am trying to stay in it and not swap over to the vermillion Enigma, so trying different things in there.

Today I made some dividers.




This is Boofle scrap booking paper that I glued together to make it double sided. This is the back of them.




I have even made little pockets on the back. I'm not convinced this will help me stop in the Malden but its worth a try.

Filofax Planner Fail

Hey everyone.
Well as you all know, I am prone to getting bored very easily. And this happens a lot when it comes to Filofaxes. I'm currently in the purple Malden pocket zip. It's a gorgeous Filofax but lacks in ringsize (only 15mm). I recently watched the film Taking care of business. (the Filofax film) and that made me want more from my Filofax. I'm slightly digressing from what my post is meant to be about here. Anyway, because I couldn't decide which of my pockets to move to, I decided to swap diary.
So, I did a Dodo Pad hack. I cut up a personal size DodoPad and re punched the holes to fit. Then I had to decide how this would function as the boxes are tiny on the current diary (but not the 2013). So here is one week that I was using, my German cotton cream ruled.




Then this was what happened when I put that week in a Dodo pad.




Kinda works if you write small enough. So I thought I'd try the next weeks page. Here is before.




And here is the Dodo hack.




Now this way worked better. The first column is for important things, then the next boxes being for Am and Pm.
But. I didn't have anywhere for the to do list.
I soon gave up on this idea.
I decided to print some pages from the Philofaxy website
I decide on their Time Management pages, week on one side and to do on the other side. AND I also printed it in pink!!




So. That cured my boredom for the time being.
Until this morning when I decided to make some pocket dividers.
But that's another post.

Hey.

Welcome to part 2 of the Philofaxy meet up. Once again, this post is picture heavy. But I know you all want to see the pics. :)

Thanks to Imy for some of the photos on here for the big reveal. You can find her blog on the meet up Here


This post is about the City Organiser experience. You can find their website Here




The shop stands out as soon as you see it and I was looking forward to going there.




Imy just taking it all in.




Thomas looking happy :)




Imy and her purchases.


We were given access to the shop and the stock room. So me and Imy went to investigate.




















Can I have a job here please. I'm all prepared. Filofax. Computer, headset. Sorted.




I can even keep an eye on people.












It is Filofax heaven down in the Aladdin's cave. I loved it!!
Meanwhile, back in the shop........









Then it was time for the big reveal of the Tracyley




A quick speech about the history of the Tracyley.




Building up the suspense.








The Tracyley took pride of place in the window for photo opportunities.








Then me with the Tracyley.




Then of course I had to have a photo taken with the Temperley's along with the Tracyley.




Then the Philofaxy King himself had a look.







Then Andy had a look.








Keep an eye out on the City Organiser Website for your chance to buy the Tracyley!!!!





After we had made all of our purchases we said our goodbyes and headed off to our destinations.

Me, Imy and Louise headed back to our hotel to get ready for the Tracyley after party.

Our hotel room.












The guests at the Party were myself, Imy, Steve, Louise, Cat, and Cat's husband Mikey.




I love this photo. It reminds me off a "Dawson's Creek" photo, which then prompted numerous google searches for the theme tune.

I would like to thank Steve for organising the meet up, Andy for letting us loose in his shop, Imy for being fab, Louise, Cat and Mikey for coming to the after party and everyone else who came to the meet up.

Thanks for reading!!
