Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I love stationery and have been through several attempts at finding the 'perfect' diary. I've settled on using filofax refills with a generic A5 organiser. I use the week to view but each day has timed appointments. I can carry round as much or as little as I need and have blank pages in there for notes and lists and things

At the moment I'm experimenting with using a cheapish A5 day to page diary which I use for managing my to do list rather than using it as diary.

As an aside, when it came time last year for my team at work to say if they wanted to get a paper diary for this year, and if so what type, I told them all very firmly that if they ordered one and I found out they didn't actually use it I would beat them around the head with it.

The number of old diaries I found in the stationery cupboard that had never had a single appointment written in them was quite shocking.

I've a lovely pale blue soft backed A5 filofax. I keep 2 week to view diaries in it- one for home and one for work. Also notes, to do lists etc. I rely on my phone for so much, but just don't want to kick the paper diary habit

I'm very tempted to get a filofax as a late (lockdown) birthday present!

I’m very tempted to resurrect mine

Almost in time for the new academic insert?

I’ve still got mine. Sue still uses hers.

I thought I started a BuJo wire a few months back but it seems to have vanished. Anulyway, I still get through two or three dotted Leuchtturm1917 A5 day books a year.
