to have a stationary fetish...

I know, I know, a wee bit shallow... but I am already looking for my next diary and I am wondering if anyone has any great diary they recommend? I used Moleskine in the past which is great, but I am now tempted to go back to my first love... the Filofax!

If you too have a stationary fetish and strong ideas about diaries, please share.

Thanks

I like stationery but am not a fan of standing still for too long Smile

yabu a fax made out of pastry would just fall apart

vodkaanddietirnbru · 08/10/2012 14:26

can you not move then? I like stationery too though

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 08/10/2012 14:27

There was a fab thread in here once...I'll try and find it...

airedailleurs · 08/10/2012 14:28

no you are not, I have long been a sufferer, and actually have to order stationEry as part of my job so am able to indulge it on a regular basis!

Glad the pedants got here first so I didn't need to say it Smile. (e is for envelope, a is for stand).

Muji did a great A5 diary last year. I've loved my 2012 one: week to view on left, squared paper on right, pale lines, lots of space at the back for scribbling). But I bought that in the age of affluence. For 2013 I've bought an 80p exercise book, a 40p plastic cover and I've made my own...

Dammit, the pedants beat me to it.

Stationery is marvellous stuff. My mum & I love new pens, notebooks, pencil cases. She's possibly more addicted than I am though.

butisthismyname · 08/10/2012 15:16

we were taught stationery (pEn) and stationary (cAr) I have never forgotten it!

pommesdeterreetfromageblanc · 08/10/2012 15:52

I love my trusty Filofax, I strayed once and regretted it.

Pens, note pads, staplers, post it notes, they all take me to my happy saddo accountant place :)

evenkeel · 08/10/2012 16:00

Sorry, OP, still not tackling the diary question, but I guess all you stationery-lovers have heard this radio programme?
A friend drew it to my attention knowing my passion for all things pen, paper and notebook-related.....

carocaro · 08/10/2012 17:57

Leuchttrum 1917 Diaries on Amazon, had one this year, bright pink, A5 size, room for notes, LOVE LOVE LOVE IT, 2013 one already on wish list, but what colour?

I am hard core stationery fetish person, have you been the mini Stationery hall in Liberty, London? Ooooh sent me in a tizz!

carocaro · 08/10/2012 17:58

E as in envelope and A as in car - fabm never heard that before! Think of one for diary/dairy please!

aldiwhore · 08/10/2012 18:01

I love all things paper, and everything ever invented to compliment it... whether it's stationary or stationery. Though I have never see stationary in motion.

YANBU! Can I butt in and ask where you stationery lovers buy unruled notebooks from that are pretty, hard backed and don't cost a fortune???

Birnamwood · 08/10/2012 18:03

You can't beat a lovely moleskine.

PoppyWearer · 08/10/2012 18:03

I bought a Moleskine after reading about it on a thread on here.

Couldn't do it...trotted back to my trusty Filofax!

Birnamwood · 08/10/2012 18:12

The thing about a Filofax, for me is, (and I've had them before) I feel like delboy trotter Grin remember the episode when he's in the wine bar? I would do something like falling through the hatch too Grin

HeffalumpsAndGoldenWoozles · 08/10/2012 18:50

aldiwhore Boville's do nice ones with lovely patterns and hard covers with a magnetic flip fastening. I have a few, some are too nice to write in.

SeveredEdMcDunnough · 08/10/2012 18:51

I have just got a new fountain pen. I don't need one. I just love them and it was half price.

Someone needs to hypnotise me out of this Blush
