    Does a new Filofax for organisational purposes count as need or want?

    I'm not doing well with my needs / wants this year :o

    I now want a laminator so I can seal the finished pages in my new household management journal :o

    They're actually a lot cheaper than I thought they would be (found one for £14) .... think the mattress fund may be on hold for a few weeks & the £1 coins might be getting put towards a laminator instead!:o

    I wanted a laminator too, then one of the other secretaries in the neighbouring department brought one on their budget, I brought my own pockets cheaply and now use it. Do you know anyone who has one you could use. Also if you go to staples and Ryman they will do this for you for a small fee.

    I remember I needed a film of A4 plastic for a knitting project, it was £9.99 for a whole pack and they sold one from the business centre for 10p in Staples.

    Worth checking out.

    Funny I wanted a meal planner wipe board for our kitchen. I found this template online. I'm going to print it on A3 and laminate it. Cheaper than purchasing one from the shops

    Laminator - Have you tried the supermarkets? I got mine from Asda but Tesco sell them too. I think I paid £12.

    I looked in T the other day but they didn't have any (did have the pouches) but it's quite a small store .... same with the A - might have to wait until I go to town!
