Loads of books but sadly no cum library 😂

Sparklesandspandexgallore · 28/12/2025 09:25

Yes I always keep a paper diary.
Dh and I have a shared calendar on our phones which we put all social events in, his working rota, annual leave, appointments etc.
I keep a paper diary for recording my working rota as that varies so much there isn’t a pattern to it.
I like writing with nice ins so that gives me an excuse too.
