think the TFH SN calendar clearly doesnt get what its really like!

just seen at the right of the screen the ad for a SN calendar. Well I clicked on the link and seen the calendar. They only have a tiny space to write on each day!!
I dont know about the rest of you but some days I can have 2-3 appointments in one day! We need more space than that

oh, what a shame! i love the idea, and the pictures look great, but how completely and utterly impractical! we have to use a family planner type as it's the only way there's enough space for appointments etc.

aw, what a shame.

yes, we use a family planner type too -only way to keep track of multiple appts, and dd2's increasingly hectic social life.

i know, like the idea of calendar, but no way we can use anything other than family planner :(

I have a whacking huge diary, without it I'm lost I suppose this may be a good gift for a family member, especially one that needs to see children with sn in a different way?

organisedmum.com or similar is on my santa list.

Yup lots of space to write and an a1 whiteboard + LOTS of storage for all the paperwork & I only have the one sprog. stickers & post its are good too.

Deffo one for the twitchy curtain judgy pants neighbours

why did I google organisedmum, lovely stuff

oh, organised mum stuff is fab.

I have their weekly planner - loads of space to write in (not separate per person spaces, though - I colour code entries instead) with tear off shopping/to do lists each week. and an overlay for all the routine stuff. just about keeps us going.

instead of a whiteboard, I use our fridge - loads of space ot write on, and just wipes clean. and at some point, it is in everyone eyeline , so no claims of 'i didn't see it'

This is what Google calender is for! I can't organise myself enough to write it on paper but at least I can either put it in my phone or on my laptop.

Ha ha....yep rubbish We use a family planner and a mums diary which got from John Lewis and is fab!!!!
