Moggins household manual - hope that's ok?

I used to do everything in a Filofax but found it a bit clunky and it meant OH would be ringing me up to say 'Are we free on such a date' so now we use Google Calender. Its free and very reliable and as we both have IPhones we both have a fully updated version of each others calenders, one each for work schedule, one for nice days out etc and one for meals so OH knows what to buy and cook and I know what I'm eating (trying to cut down so it helps me not to overeat).

I am another filofax queen. I would never survive without it. all my money, diary dates, lists (wayyyy too many lists) are all in there. Lose that and I wouldnt stand a chance!

I use firefox and with it, the reminder fox extension. You can set it to remind you of jobs, shopping lists etc. Used to print out my shopping list (before the printer went bust). Not quite 'old style' though.

Ooooh stationery !!!!!! <drools> I LOVE lists and I love notebooks How sad am I? :rotfl:

I currently have a spiral bound hard backed notebook that has my weekly Flylady list in it - could use the thread but TBH if I left the 'puter on I'd spend more time on here than actual cleaning
I have written in that various notes etc. Not terribly exciting but works for me for the time being

Me too I just love stationery really

I use a Filofax with the family pack in - gives me a wee box each day for each person in the family. I have some left over (it gives you 4 I think extra rows and there are only three of us) so I use the other squares to put in my meal plan.

I have another notebook too that has my shopping lists for the week plus up to date prices (I enter it onto Mr T online every Sunday night before I go shopping on a Monday)

Then I have *another* notebook with household info - i.e. utility suppliers, dates of direct debits etc. It mostly just sits and does not a lot unless something changes though.

And me. Pens, pencils, pencil cases, binders.......the list is endless.

Sad fact is back when I was a kid friends of mine had accounts with the Midland Bank and they got given a little stationery set which included a pencil case and a lovely little dictionary. Was most put out that my crummy saving account gave me a totally carp plastic money box

Sorry to totally take the thread OT - just reminded me of that

I still write with a fountain pen! Everyone thinks I am odd but we had to write with ink in secondary school. My problem is that as I think of things I may not be near a computer and if I dont write it down as I think about it, then I will forget!

I have lists of DIY jobs to be done, my wish list, my finances, camping stuff, etc, etc
