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.

10 items I can't live without

I have decided to do a post today on 10 items I can't live without. I'm hoping that the lovely All Stars people at Philofaxy are going to guest blog on this topic. If anyone else would like to have a go then let me know :)

My 10 items I can't live without.

1. My iPhone





Now this photo isn't actually my iPhone as I'm using it now. My phone is called Izzy and she goes everywhere with me. I do everything with Izzy. We do Facebook, Twitter, blog, google, check emails, type up essay plans, play games, play music, take photos, the list goes on. Everything the phone can do, I probably use it. At the moment Izzy has a purple silicone case on. Nice and simple. I would be lost without my phone.

2. My Personal Malden Filofax.





I'm not going to go into too much detail into this one as I have done a review on it. I hope the link works.

3. Lypsyl.



I take Lypsyl everywhere with me. I only use this one as I tend to have a reaction to most others including the strawberry Lypsyl. I have about 5 in various different places so I know where one is if I need it.

4. Tangle Teezer.



This item is a piece of genius. I don't use any other brush. As I have extensions in, this is fantastic for detangling. I have no problems with it. My daughter is 3 and has curly hair, and will sit for ages letting me brush her hair with the tangle teezer. It is a lifesaver!!

5. My green Fox Racing hoodie.





I love this top and wear it all the time. It is getting quite worn on the sleeves now though, but I can't get rid of it.




This is the back of my top.





And this is a close up of the front. I love it.

6. Post-it notes.





I love all stationary but especially love post-it notes. They are soo handy!! I have them posted on the side of my desk with essay plans on and for referencing. I have them in my Filofax. All of my uni work is plastered in post-it notes. I even keep some in my bag. They are fantastic. I especially love the super sticky ones.

7. Bic Fashion Colour Pens.





I would be quite upset if I couldn't use this pen anymore. As you can see I have a number of them to choose from. I do find though that the purple gets used up first which then means I have to get a new pen. Grrrrr. I use this to write in my Filofax. If I do t have a very busy day then I doodle on the page to fill it up. I don't like my diary to look boring. I also use it to highlight different things in my diary. Zig zag means important, cloud highlight means something to do or somewhere to go.

8. My handbag.





This bag is a recent purchase. It is by Animal. I love their handbags. I have downsized by buying this one, but it means I carry less junk around with me.

9. My Playboy nail kit.





I can't actually remember the technical term for it, but it is fab. It looks like a little pen knife, but it isn't. It has nail scissors, two nail files/cuticle tools, a mirror, a lip brush and tweezers. The little scissors get used for everything.

10. Student cards.



I love getting student discount so had to sign up for the NUS Extra card which gives you more opportunity to get more discounts than the normal student card.

So there you have it. 10 items that I can't live without.
