I received a new diary and a journal for my birthday.
I was also given some money to spend.
Once upon at time I loved, loved buying new stationery. Pens especially.
I once (about 15 years ago Blush) had a set of uniball pens in about 8 colours and loved them. I can still get them on amazon but wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.
I want something that writes smoothly, feels nice to hold, is fine enough for small handwriting and doesn’t bleed or smudge in a variety of colours for coding my planners.
Budget is £20 or (preferably) less.

Thanks Ricekrispie22.
I actually have some of these but I find them too thin so they’re not comfortable for me.

I was going to recommend Muji 0.38 pens, but they are quite thin, so maybe not for you! They are great for writing and sketching with, and come in a variety of different colours :)

I bought a Sheaffer Rollerball and I think they do a fine refill.

I haven’t written much but so far so good and the bad reviews on it refer to the fountain pen version more than the rollerball I think, though not read all of them.

Sorry, I didn’t see the variety of colours bit.

I like the look of the mini ones but perhaps it’s just as well to go with what I know.

Thanks for the input. It’s appreciated Smile
