My supermarket master list isn't very exciting Grin. It's just a list of all the things I regularly buy, organised by sections. So, for example under 'Chilled' - butter, cheese, yoghurt cold meat, raw meat... etc etc. I just have it in front of me when I make my weekly shopping list, and that way I don't forget anything!

That's a really good idea though, I've shopping to do online tonight so I'll have a go! Have been amusing myself with my new fancy tapes and pens this afternoon Smile

I used to bujo but fell off the wagon so to speak in the last year. I got a personalised 1917 for Xmas 2019 and I've barely stated it. I need to get back into it.

I've completely filled my first one and went a bit mad with calligraphy pens and mild liners plus super tips lol.

I like to keep it simple. I tried trackers but after day 3 I never filled them in and it annoyed me having those pages started but not finished.

I've got a page that says "2020 plans". Strangely enough it didn't get filled in early and stayed blank Grin

It's really useful. Except today. I sat and looked at it while I made my shopping list... and then left my shopping list on the table when I went to the supermarket. Duh!

The saddest page in mine was the one for "2020 Holidays" - all these plans written out, and every one cancelled Sad

Here’s hoping we will have more stuff to put in our 2021 planners! 😩

That’s reminded me I need to get our diary and the DCs’ calendars out today, we can at least put some things in there like (supposed) term dates and birthdays

Absolutely! We've decided to plan a holiday for summer 2022 to give us something to look forward to, so there will be a page in my journal dedicated to ideas for that.

I bloody love notebooks! I’ve just bought a Moleskin after years of leuchtturm, only because it was a nicer colour. Hope I don’t regret it.

I don’t really need a new one, as my 2020 one is less than half full. Obviously I didn’t have much going on this year.

Looking forward to setting up mine up tomorrow. I keep it pretty simple, a yearly spread, monthly one and then by week. I use a pencil, no arty stuff and no washi tape. I need to get better about carrying tasks over (well better about actually doing them so they don’t carry over). I have pages for goals, books to read, tv and films to watch, recipes.

I have a separate work one, which is a lot scrappier as I fill them up pretty quickly. I got a really nice oversized A5 one from Tesco.

Beware falling into a Pinterest BuJo rabbit hole. You can easily waste hours tracking stuff just for the sake of it and making stuff look pretty.
