Maybe i ordered the wrong one as my diary is for 2010 from Jan - Dec. The life planner maybe a better idea but then i dont have children to organise so the diary will work for me for now. or maybe i could order something else too lol.

Oh I shouldn't be tempting you pixie My life planner goes from Oct and there is masses in it, meal planning, budgeting, notes for the month etc, but tbh I haven't used all it offers as i'm not that organised Maybe next year! You will be fine with what you have, unless you want to be mega organised and have two diaries on the go, think that would completely confuse me :rotfl:

I've never been one for peer pressure...but I've just ordered the family diary...Starts in september and goes to December 2010.
I'll let you know how I get on, but it certainly seems to have everything Im looking for.

I love the Organised mum diaries. Last year I had a life book with a black leather cover but I found it so bulky I never kept it in my bag but shoved it in a drawer so it wasn't organising me at all! This year I bought a Pocket Life book with a lovely red cover and it fits in my bag perfect! It started on Tuesday (1st Spet)

I have folders with plastic pockets in

Household inc bills, tv, insurance etc
Me - exam certs, driving licence, my cc bills, student laods etc
Hubby - same as above but for him
Son - school letters, passport, etc etc
Insruction booklets and guarentees

I have a recipe journal for clippings etc and a note book for meal plans and shopping lists which. The plan for the week then gets marneted to the fridge. I also have a magnet pad on the fridge to jot down stuff as it runs out. I did try to do all that in excell but I have a secret stationary fetish.

I don't have a rota or anything like that for jobs or a schedule for when bigger jobs etc need doing

I have a 6-hole [enter brand name here] ring binder diary.....thingie It was a gift many moons ago but I do so like it, apart from it being a tad bulky to keep in my handbag.
We've got a filing cabinet but I'm liking the idea of collecting appropriate data together in one place to make referencing easier than trawling thru all the other gumph. I'm going to have to make some lists of what lists I need to keep :j:rotfl:

rachbc - you are not alone, I am a stationery addict too - quite jealous of all the students going back to school now and seeing them get new stationery etc!

If you go to www.flickr.com you can type in household planner, household notebook etc and you will spend hours seeing how people make their own diaries, log books, etc. Many are almost an art form!
