Help me find a lovely cross between a filofax and an A4 folder type thingy with links to good stationery shops

[Oovavu]

I want an A4 folder that I can out loose leafs in, diary pages, plastic wallets, nice colour-coded tabs etc.... my whole life really, to help me get organised at work.

Best to make one myself or are there lovely filofax-type ones out there that aren't too expensive?

oOOoh i'd like one of these!

I'm listening and a watching to see what they come up with.

Bumping as I've been looking too, but can't even find an A5 ringbinder to make my own basic version. Anyone?

Tesco had a5 binders!

franklin covey planners are very nice but pricey.

How about that one? Not A4 but looks really funky!

I have one like this and it's too small

arh, shame... thanks for the links. I'm so sad that I'm actually looking forward to going through the links for the franklin covey planners and building my own - Not that I'll be able to afford it but I can dream...

How annoying. Have found some organisers made by Collins but the A4 ones are all black and boring. The alternative I spose is to get a black one and customise it

Remind me to set up my own business creating gorgeous planners for girls.

Ohhh Oovavu, I'd be one of your customers!
That franklin covey website - wow. I think I want what you want but in A5. Got a filofax for birthday last year but was small (A6). I have experimented with so many filing/planners as a teacher (new start every term )

i just want a notebook. with a diary in it. and maybe a couple of sections. and one of those plastic envelopes. um... and that;s prob it. spiral bound. slightly smaller than A5 I reckon (C5?) And not billions of pounds.

come on, invent something!

I'm a teacher too. I want A4 so I can put all my planning pages, diary pages, memos, plastic wallets and crap like that.

The FRanklin covey website has annoyed me a bit really as the options are too small to study in detail and I can't get the combination I want (but probably a good job seeing as the binder plus inserts would ahev probably topped £100 )

I need to get to a very big stationery shop and have lots of time to mooch. RIGHT, If it doesn't snow too much tonight, I'm off to the nearest mega shopping centre. I'm on a mission

Oh yes, am SAHM now. A4 if you have proper stuff to do (I just want to make lists. lots of lists.)

I once found a nice slim A4 ringbinder which worked v well for a term. tore sheets from a teacher planner and hole-punched them (and the register/marking ones)

oh, i love stationery.

I know. I think it's a illness. My heart actually beats faster when I go into paperchase

ooh stationary porn!

Think now that might be the answer - get a proper nice ring binder - you can get some with fastenings now can't you and then buy some A4 filofax or similar inserts with diary pages and pockets and stuff.

this site looks nice

this one's poncetastic but really only for vay vay important businessmen like the ones from the Lemsip Max strength or Gilette adverts
