Re-use your old 2015 Calendar

Don't throw your 2015 calendar away at the end of the year!
The year 2026 is exactly the same as 2015, so keep your 2015 calendar in a drawer for ten years and you'll be quids in!
I'd like to claim credit for this money saving tip but credit where it's due, I nicked the idea (sorry, re-used it) from the 2016 year planner thread.

I'm all for moneysaving but when i think you can often get calenders for free. And even the ones i have to buy i try and get for 50p
Thanks for the tip Pinkle but i've got enough rubbish in draws. I think i'll pass on this one.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

Before they retired, my parents were given a number of diaries and calendars every Christmas from professional contacts. Most were reused in future years when the days/dates corresponded. Each year they worked out when that pattern of dates would come round again and kept them until needed!

I'm all for mse but I think that's one step too far for me.
I use this

I prefer it because I can use proper paper that I can write on not slippery stuff.
ETA: Just printed out 2016. Thank you for reminder OP.0 -
I've just finished years of de-cluttering, so I don't want to start keeping stuff again.
My 2015 calendar will go into recycling on 1st January 2016Early retired - 18th December 2014

Only thing is I'd have to sit for a couple of hours with an eraser rubbing out all my 2015 appointments and dog-sitting bookings.:D
I get a free one from the dog-sitting service, so I think I'll wait for that to arrive.;)If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
I've already re-purposed the first 9 months of the year as wrapping paper and the last 3 months will go the same way. I spent 50p on that scenic calendar and intend to get my money's worth.........:p Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

I have a lovely one with william morris designs. I have used the pics on each month AND the little ones on the back (put there so you can see what the months' pics are when still wrapped in cello) to make pretty greetings cards for family and friends.

PS - i have a lovely diary from 2014 that was surplus to requirements and is unused. I was wondering when the days / dates would co-incide again!! Shush, don't tell iqueen, we are de-cluttering together on Kon Marie thread!:DI have changed my work-life balance to a life-work balance.

Nice one OP. Gave me a much needed chuckle.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
(he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

Ha ha I've still got a lot to learn from other MSE'ers! After copying repeating dates down onto the new calendar, I flip mine over and use the back as a scribble pad near my pc. How boring!
Oh! Just remembered, after use it will be shredded and added to the compost bin so maybe I've redeemed myself?The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this wonderful forum. I'm very grateful for the guidance and friendliness that I always receive from you.

It seems that you will only have 9 years to wait, 2025 has the same calendar as 2014. I often get given diaries that don't get used. If anything they are probably even better things to save than calendars.0
