AIBU to think a digital family diary should exist??

We are UK based. I've googled (most solutions are from US).

I know this is a first world problem. But due to overwhelm, I've not noted an important appointment in the paper calendar which means a hospital appointment was missed when I'm on a work trip.

We have shelves to take down and I would like to put in it's place an A1 type size digital calendar that can sync to multiple calendars on phones so both DH and I can add; a to do list and meal planning would be awesome too as functionality. I don't think I'm asking the world!

AIBU expecting this to exist? (YABU) Or am I on to something and should create a new business?? (YANBU)

Sorry it's late, my autistic child won't settle and I'm so overwhelmed trying to balance my list of things to do at home outwith my FT job and DH and I are worried about missing appointments again 😢

I decided the bite the bullet and have ordered a Skylight Calendar this morning.

I'll come back and write a full review once I've been using it for a little bit.

Please do!! I’m still so tempted but worried it’ll end up not being used. Also super random but I’d love a photo (& dimensions?!) of the plug? As I’d really like to wall mount but worried it’ll be too big?

skylight is brilliant. I was so anti it at first but DH ordered it and it’s been brilliant. The children can check it themselves, you can send emails from schools and it picks up the dates and puts it in automatically and the photo display quality is amazing. I would highly recommend.

So I've not actually received mine yet! I ordered it on Sat 6th and it was due to be delivered Tues 9th (I paid for standard shipping so was impressed), it DHL lost my parcel!

As soon as I let Skylight know they immediately refunded me the shopping and contacted DHL, earlier this week when DHL confirmed they had "misplaced" my parcel, Skylight confirmed they would send me out another one (which again in really impressed by), and I'm due to get it delivered this afternoon! Fingers crossed it makes it to me this time 🙂

Do you pay for the annual upgrade to have the calendar show photos? Do you feel it's worth it (I know there are other features not just photos)?

I use time tree. I need to check it as it doesn’t notify but it is a way of keeping track will look at some of the others suggested

That's a shame that it doesn't do notifications!
