Also perfect for lovers of beautiful stationery and especially for people who like lists!

Sooo - get out your fineliners and your washi tape! Stroke your Leuchtturms! And get all that stuff that's whizzing round in your head out onto paper instead!

Mulig White 90' tall shelving unit...hope this link works

Otherwise will take photo of my actual shelves tomorrow !

Top shelf. Seasonal pink tub and key box.

Third shelf. Office box, handbag and BuJo

Second shelf. Purple library books. Red tub brushes and hair clips.

First shelf. School bags wicker tray.

Bottom shelf. Silver tub 1 slippers. Silver tub 2 school shoes. Folding stool (for doing girls hair in the morning...I sit on the stairs...nothing to distract them)

Coats hang off side. Kids coat pegs off photo.

Oh that is very pleasing indeed. Very pleasing. I can go to sleep now

LOL, Glad I could help. :) Off to bed myself.

The original IKEA link works for me! How odd.

I've added a "letters from school" collection after realising I forgot to send back a consent form for dd3 today!

That looks great Babies. Might have to add it to the IKEA list. Our hall could certainly use some organisation! Night all.

Like the organiser shelves, but my hallway's too narrow! Might think about some shallower shelves on the wall above the radiator, though...

I've been adding 'Check tracker' to my daily logs to remind myself to fill in the tracker. It's not so good if you keep forgetting to do the things, but if it's just remembering to fill it in that's the problem I find this works for me.

Love the organised hallway storage, Babies! I've got quite a big hallway and some decent storage in there, but your post has made me realise that I'm not really using it to its full potential! I've currently got all our dvd collection taking up a lot of it, which is not necessarily the most useful thing to have in the hall. I like your 'seasonal box' idea.

My papelotte strap and Lamy rollerball have arrived. So far the strap is not too annoying and it is handy having more pens easily to hand.

Frozen I like the strap and how organised it keeps your pens. Do you have the link of where you got it from?, thanks

Thanks Vistaverde - it does help with keeping a few pens together for easy access.

I got it here: www.bureaudirect.co.uk/papelote-notebook-strap/p3685. Not too many other places seem to sell them. There is a 10% off code for first time buyers - "CUTE" - that worked when I bought mine last week.

Thank you. I will save the link until I treat myself to a leuchtturm (currently using an old notebook I had at home).

Writing my household tasks 'to do list' as a weekly tick list has been a bit of a revelation. I simply don't have as many tasks to do as I thought . This is very tedious and idiotic, so feel free to go and ignore, but I think it's because I used to think of housework 'per room' rather than 'per task'and divide it up like that, rather than just have 'hoover', 'dust', 'change beds', 'hard floors' etc. Anyway, must go and actually do some of that...

It's the endless tidying up though! Would be interested in seeing your list, if it's finished and you don't mind.
I need one that is a realistic list, not an idealistic I-will-clean-the-skirting-boards-weekly type thing, as I won't.

I have a page in my BuJo that is a kind of household schedule of daily, weekly and monthly tasks and then for the weekly ones I have a tick list at the end of each week's journal so that I make sure I've done those tasks by the end of each week (but it doesn't matter what day I do them). I don't write in ones I have to do every day, as it's unnecessarily time-consuming and anyway I don't tend to forget those. But I look at the schedule page occasionally to remind me.

I hate the garden poo sweep...

Does anyone use their bujo for managing finances. I have a spreadsheet but our old laptop takes so long to fire up I hardly ever look at it!
Our finances are not in a good way as neither me or dh have really taken control of them. I want to change this so any tips for making things easier in the bujo would be appreciated.

merciful Thanks for sharing. I am going to try doing something similar. I think it would work better for me than a habit tracker would.

Jmester I'm still using a spreadsheet for finances but would be interested to also hear if anyone is doing this successfully in their bujo.

Ooh, thank you. Now worrying that I don't sweep the garden for poo. Won't nature take care of its own poo? Or do you have dcs who poo in the garden?
Think I might go and look at my journal now, this new font is annoying me.

No, I have a large dog who poos in the garden! The large piles of poo he creates definitely do not take care of themselves, sadly.

I've tried giving my spaniel a roll of bags and sending him off to "sweep" the lawn but it never happens :( I should write it in his journal....
