Organised Mum products - get yourself a diary/calendar/swanky shopping list

[hunkermunker]

I particularly like the lists

Although she doesn't seem to have invented someone to come and do the things on my to do list for me yet...

thanks for letting me know. hunkermunker, tell me what a 1-12 and 1-31 bring forward system is and how it works? I am intrigued.

mmm do I go for family life book or just life book??
think last year there wasnt 2 options

I got my family life book (raspberry cover) and calendar in the post a couple of weeks ago....they are swoonsome, to die for, wonderful....I don't know what to do with myself until September.

Question for experienced OM's - what do you do in the Sept-Dec period each year? The diaries must overlap? Do you work a 2 book system?!

I have the pocket book with red leather cover and carry it with me religiously, we may not have even started september yet but i have stickered to my hearts content and it is already full with postal reciepts and school letters I even had to buy a new fountain pen to keep in the cover

lol CAz I am planning on straight swap to new diary and giving the other to Dc to play at being organised

i keep reading this as wanky shopping lists

MrsJohnCusack that's really what they are - but in the BEST way!!

A 1-12 is a folder with the months of the year in.

A 1-31 is a folder with the days of the month in.

So in my 1-12, I have birthday cards, etc or things I have to remember for each month of the year.

In my 1-31, which I (aim) to sort out at the end of each month, I have the stuff for that month.

A rather excellent book is Time Management For Manic Mums - I highly recommend it.

i want one of the diary thingys but dont know which one.

Think this year I will go for the Home Planner calendar, a menu planner board and then...hmmm...which diary - maybe the pocket life book again.

i think i'll go for the Life Book Family Diary. i think.do they take paypal?does anyone know?

Yep, they take Paypal.

I would love a life book or similar

Ignorant question alert - can you order using a uk debit card, do they charge exhorbitant (sp) postage?

Can someone help me decide whether to get the life book or the pocket life book? I've had the life book before but it is a bit big to carry around but I don't want anything too skimpy.How much space is in the pocket book for each day?

I have been drroling over it all since I got my email. I don't think I could live without the menu/shopping list!

Postage is free for UK orders over £7

And I don't think it's possible to spend less than that!

Is it hunker -thats fab, I might need a new house present! We are moving this week and obviously I need to be organised

Of course you do!

The bit about free shipping is on the home page link.

ooh i really need to scrape together money for a new life book - probably do it in August

Does anyone have the Notebook - how many of the pages have the perforated pages with space for shopping and to-do lists and planning your week?

yay they take paypal!thanks hunker.

Explain the appeal of organised mum stuff to me? Does it really help?

Yes.

Used in conjunction with a time management system, as laid out in the Time Management For Manic Mums book I linked to further up the thread.

It's just thinking differently about how you order your life and remember to do things.

And it's stationery [dribble]
