All excited the new organised mum diaries and calenders are out. I have a diary and a calender that will last until December, but as the new ones run from Sept, I don't know if I can wait .

I have the family weekly planner, but I fancy the family monthly planner, oh decisions decisions.

bumsrush · 23/06/2009 00:22

Ah see you will now that you have looked at them, they entice you in and once you have one you are hooked, in fact once you look at the website you are hooked.

Just marking this thread so I can have a closer browse of that website tomorrow.

I have a family planner on the wall in the kitchen. Bit, going back to work in September, and a diary on my desk might prove useful in the whole balancing act.

bumsrush · 23/06/2009 00:28

I like the look of the family planner that has a month to veiw as the weekly veiw one sort of lets things creep up an you, you turnthe page and argh lots on this week.

So I think I will change to the monthly one even though their is less room to write.

I have the fmaily diary but too big to carry about in my bag so might got for the pocket one again and tranfer only the vital info into that as often when I am out and about making appointments and making arrangements I can't remember what we have on.

My 2010 stuff has just arrived. Tis lovely. I had the calendar last year but this year I have gone for the diary with cover plus a note book and shopping list!

Toddmummy · 23/06/2009 16:33

I have a wall planner, for the whole year up in the kitchen, and it is fantastic. not a lot of space for routine weekly activities but terrific none-the-less. would recommend one to everyone trying to be organised.

also facilitates date discussions with other half.

It's true, one glance at the website and suddenly I've ordered a calendar, budget book and menu/shopping list! Never heart of the company before but I'm a sucker for stationary. Couldn't be convinced that their diary will beat my Filofax though, but willing to be pursuaded!

audley · 23/06/2009 20:11

oops meant heard

bumsrush · 23/06/2009 23:05

Wow, I'd never heard of this company before--where's it been all my life? I'm so buying a Diary and calendar!
Thanks for the info guys!

brimfull · 23/06/2009 23:27

well I bought a family planner last yr and then forgot to put all the birthdays on it -doh!

I'm thinking thumping great wall chart might be better

brimfull · 23/06/2009 23:32

can't find any wall planner

cornsilk · 23/06/2009 23:37

I need one of those monthly ones.

grumpalumpa · 23/06/2009 23:49

ggirl -"think these are them"

YMC · 24/06/2009 13:19

Why don't they do something like the Family Home Planner or calendar but with the overlay sheet? I need columns for each of us, month to view, and I don't want to write out every weekly event! Any ideas?

gingertoo · 24/06/2009 14:22

Inscotland How long did it take your 2010 stuff to arrive? I got an email from them on Monday saying that my order was 'completed' but it hasn't arrived yet.

I'm so impatient.............

gingertoo · 24/06/2009 14:39

Whoops! postman has just delivered my diary........
Told you I was impatient!

bumsrush · 24/06/2009 15:03

I had the week to view and hated the overlay after a while as it just seems to obsure all the important stuff. I have all the kids weekly activites written on a strip stuck at the side now and ditched the overlay. samre in my family diary ditched the clear divider I was using and have all the regular activities written somewhere near the front incase I forget which I do.

Hi
I have the weekly family calendar, and love it! Was thinking of a life book this year, but are they useful? I like having the calendar on the wall because we can all see it - of course DH never looks at it so everything is a big surprise to him!
