Now DD is at school I need to get more organised. I have to remember school stuff, play dates, and birthday parties. Also need to record what me and Dh are doing too.

Used to use Outlook, with a normal calender, but not working. Outlook has corrupted on me - at moment I have lost my entire contacts book, and my calender! And the wall calendar only has one thin line to wirte on which isn't enough.

I also need a diary for my bag as well, to go with it.

So, which to get and why? What are your experiences and biews on each? Or any other alternatives?

I just bough one in WHSmiths with a month on a page (large), each day has a line, but over four sections, which could be either familiy members or time. I have mine in time, so 8 - 12, 12 - 3, 3 - 7 7 - bed as that's how my day carved up with nusery & school it's working really well. It's designed for students so runs from Sept and cost £5.99

It is fantastic and sl simple - none of the cutesy, mummsy rubbish of other calendars

Jus trying to upload a photo onto it, but the preview brings the picture up looking very pixelated.

hula, you can buy all of Dodo's stuff online here .
Depends on whether you can hack English whimsicality over the American Way. I love Dodo stuff and I know others do too, but it's not to everyone's taste!
Very much non-cutesy though - more mad professor in the attic.

Have ordered one of the calendars from Beetroot's link - from September 2006 to October 2007.

Have also ordered an Organised Mum A5 diary with extra stickers. I just liked the look of it more than the Dodo.
