Hello wise ladies!

I need a new diary.

Any recommendations pls?

Need one with lots of space to write appointments, lunches etc.

Had a Filofax given to me by work but I hate it and it's a PITA to try and write too close to the metal jaws IYKWIM!

Thanks

I used to have a filofax and then a moleskine but now I have an organised mum one and although I loathe the cover it has been so practical I recommend it to everyone

OMG there's a "budget" book and a "menu & shopping list" thing!

I have an organised mum family life diary and 2009 has a board cover and a picture (although this years picture seems better than 2010). I simply don't like the cover but will put up with it next year because I love the contents!

My new diary is on its way as we speak! Shame it doesn't start until 1st September so will have to make do with crappy old one until then!

Thanks for the great advice!!!

Hi babydrip

I got the Organised Mum Life Book (only one child and husband so didn't need the extra space in the family book)

Didn't bother with the cover tho as noone seemed to rate it!

Can anyone describe more about what it in in? Why is it better than a normal diary?
