  • Hello,
    I love writing lists too...I absolutely love stationery and get quite excited over a new pack of pens;)
    I have a pack of 20 Staedtler fine pens in all different colours, I have already sat with them tonight and written a list of all my direct debits and income for Jan...!!
    I have so many notebooks...my fave for day to day stuff is the pukka pads as I love the dividers! I have 2 daughters of 11 and 9 who love notebooks just as much as me - we have a cupboard of them, but doesn't stop me buying more.
    I'm still trying to track down the Paperchase Piggy Money Planner, but can't find one instore or online:mad: And now I've just read the post where someone (sorry cant remember who!) wanted an new A5 diary with page a day...well, now I think that'd be just great - a list a page, fab!!!

    (I now really do think I need to get a life....!!!!)

    And I'm 30-something too!
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Yep but through Amazon. You can go via Paperchase website or I just stick 'Paperchase' in Amazon and enjoy looking through everything!!!!

    OMG, feel like I've gone to haven - more list makers - thought it was just me! I have to write a list EVERY day, or I couldn't function. My brain is also like mush - perhaps its the list. Today for example I had 35 things on my list, and ideally I aim to have at least half of those done by half way through the day. Some things roll over though which is depressing - my husband says I have too many things on the list - should only have 5/6 things on there so that I didn't beat myself up when not completed the list. I never get through the list so perhaps he's right. One day I WILL complete the list - there I've comitted to it. I LOVE LISTS!!! I'm really disorganised and (hope) the list will make me organised - at least I feel in control of the list - whereas other areas of my life are out of control - ie the housework - it is on the list though!!! I'm off to investigate those notebooks now.....
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

  • I am a list-aholic too, i get a new notepad for my birthday and christmas every year and i also buy a couple throughout the year.
    I drive my OH insane because my lists have lists and then i have to re-write it if i have crossed a certain amount off, and if anyone one touches my lists i'm like Monica Geller (Friends series)on heat :D:rotfl: :rotfl: :p
    I have a list for everything, you name it i've got a list of it:p
    Do you know what the mad thng is though??...I'm 17(in January)!!:rotfl:
    I'm the only young person (of all the people i know) i know that uses this forum (obviously there are some young-uns on here:rolleyes: ) and uses the information from others to help me. And i'm the only Monica Geller(Friends series) of my age :D:rotfl:
    ..xx
    I am only me, no pretences, no second guesses.. It's the best I can do, I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you... I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you :A
  • Have been searching on Amazon...................

    link HERE in case anyone is interested

    another cheaper (and customisable) option is a pocketmod

    i tend to use option 3, which is writing on the back of used envelopes (i feel less guilty if i make a mistake and need to write the list again on a whole new 'recycled' envelope this way)

    Wow, I'm not alone! :o I have 3 seperate note books in my hand bag full of various lists about everything I can think of! Also, my work jacket pocket is full of scraps of paper with lists for everyday, maybe I should start dating each one, hmmmm...! If I don't have lists I forget things and if I forget things then the problems start lol!

    I'm about to turn 25, am I to assume I'm only going to get worse!?
