Does anyone on here have a Filofax or planner?

Not gonna lie, I am a bit of a Filofax and stationery junkie and as it’s been my payday recently, i was going to treat myself in Ryman’s or WH Smith. But last night, I found a gorgeous vintage leather Filofax Cavendish. It’s navy blue, I’m normally more of a pale pink or purple girl, but the quality looks lovely and despite being personal size, it has huge 30mm rings that are normally exclusive to the bigger a5 planners.

It got me thinking, who else on here carries a Filofax or planner? Obviously I do have an iPhone but something about paper I just love.

Can’t be the only Filofax lover here, can I?Grin

I have one because I have never bothered to throw it out. Not sure how many years since I stopped using it. I think it's 7 or 8 years since I had a paper diary.

I'm back with some photos of my newest Erin Condren acquisition.

I'm a bit disappointed, actually. You can see from the photos that the 6-month planners are just as thick as the annual ones; instead of a week to 2 pages, it's a page per day and a page per weekend. Also, no choice of layout - it's hourly. Lovely paper, of course, but they're not exactly portable!

I always seem to return to the horizontal layout and 12-monthly.

I should have said, my current annual planner is on the right of the photo.

I've just got a Filofax - blaming this thread! Ended up with a personal size, which wasn't as big as I imagined so happy it will fit in my bag. Love this colour and its a really nice feel!

I absolutely adore my filofax, it has kept me right for 7 years now!

Yes, i have a planner with all my monthly finances and DD's listed. Direct debits not daughters! I also have a 1970's style telephone book where i keep all my numbers and i also write everything on the calendar.

I have come a cropper many times with tech crashing, updates and email being updated and lost everything!

I document /hand write EVERYTHING now as back up!

I have lost so many contact numbers in the past due to new phones and email upgrades.

Now i have this old skool little baby and i have not lost a number since! Also it reminds me of being a child a the 1970's and i love using it!
