I need some hints and tips. How do you actually use it? Can you give me an example of what you actually have written/stuck on a particular busy day.

I have got school stickers, family stickers (I think - the shapes ones), and the general stickers.

I've had a go at writing out December, but it's not really working for me. So I need some expert advice.

I haven't seen these Organised Mum calendar's.

Where would I find one?

SnafuOutOfHiding · 24/11/2006 18:12

Which is better - the month to view one or the week to view?

I have to say, I didn't like my 2006 Organised Mum one. I like having separate columns for different members of the family.

Having said that, we've now moved over to using Google Calendar with different colours for different members of the family - that way dh can access at work and has no excuses with missed appointments

TheHighwayCod · 24/11/2006 18:21

cod sadly weeps off
i like everyone on ONE day

I have a desk diary - which I fequently forgat to look at

fortunately for me I can just muddle along in my low-stress SAHM existence

TheHighwayCod · 24/11/2006 18:24

i am stil managing to use the clanedar AND the diary

fo TWO WHOLE WEEKS

NomDePlume · 24/11/2006 18:25

I just use a week to view diary. Everything is in there - appointments, college deadlines, parents evenings...

I used to use my 'reminders' on my mob, it was great, but then I killed my phone and got a new model which is very much more basic and the 'reminders' bit is too limited to be useful

iota · 24/11/2006 18:26

If I ever get of my computer-chair shaped ar$e, and get a job, I might need to get organised

Radley · 24/11/2006 18:31

I'm on second one this year, and I LOVE it, i'm so much more organised, to be honest, i think i would be lost without it.

roisin · 24/11/2006 18:41

We've always used a columns one, which has worked well for us. But I thought I was ready for a change - but I'm not sure I am
I think I was just seduced in by the pretty stickers!

I'm going to put this one on trial for a couple of months, then buy a cheap calendar in the sales if it's still not working for me.

(The good thing about a vertical columns one, is you can rule a line down to mark things like half term, dh away, mum coming to stay, away on holiday, etc.)

I was going to express disbelieving amusement at the thought of cod having an orgaanised mum calendar. Then I read the bit about commision. Fnar.

nutcracker · 24/11/2006 18:51

I saw one which i think looks better than the organised mum one and you get stickers too.

Think it was in the GLTC book.
