You can get them for £2.25 from the Filofax webby - I assume this is the one you mean. Delivery is 95p I think. I've ordered from there before and their delivery is pretty efficent iirc

My local John Lewis also does Filofax inserts - might be worth trying there?

Thank you, you've just made my day

My local John Lewis doesn't have them, I've searched there before.

something I have found endlessly useful is a daybook. Used to use one at work and have now carried it over to the home. ...

This is exactly what I did in the office, it worked so well; I kept all the old books lined up on a shelf as they were a great reference - I was often able to track down an old phone number, name or other info just from a vague date I've never managed to get the system working at home but it would be invaluable

whichever system you use it will only work if you check it regularly

Another stationary freak here too...

Have a notebook in my handbag that has all sorts of lists and notes in it - I started this book when I was planning our wedding last year.

I use an excel spreadsheet to work out mealplans and grocery spends - but I often forget what I've got planned as the sheet is kept on my computer at work, so I think I'm going to have to start using my filofax again and putting the mealplans for home use aswell as keeping the spreadsheet at work. Need to get some new inserts - (starts to drool)........

We have a calendar in the kitchen for birthdays/appointments etc...

HA HA all you stationary geeks are out of the closet now ! :j

I was sooo happy this morning, my new filofax calcualtor came, i got it for a bargin 99p from ebay so happy days

I made a to do list today and quite happily ticked away till all my jobs where done, cos they where down on paper felt more like i "had" to do them.

I keep looking at the filofax website but i need to stop spending :@), ive promised myself if i still use it everyday this time next year i will get myself a new real leather one, but not untill !

Nooooo I have to actually go in the kids' bedrooms?

Please don't make me......

You'll never hear from me again !!!

I tie a rope round my waist and get the OH to pull me out before I die!!!

Things I do have with regard to organisation is a calendar and a shopping list.

Peanut butter famines are not my fault if it aint on the list.

If it aint on the calendar then I don't want to know!

Bumping this thread as I'm starting full time work in September and need to get my life as organised as possible. I'm sorting out my A4 file like Moggins and bought the Organised Mum Family Lifebook.

Very good thread, it's Old Style, Flylady and many other threads all rolled into one.

PS-I'm a stationery addict too and proud

... I found one notebook didnt work for me and I got my idea of multiple notebooks from this thread http://organizedhome.net/viewtopic.php?t=336&highlight=autumn but I adjusted that complicated system to suit myself. ...

Just enjoyed reading back through this thread - but the link I gave is dead now as the forum closed. [STRIKE] I have the entire 'autumn's notebook' thread on my pc if anyone is interested please pm me. I won't post it on here because of copyright issues.[/STRIKE]

I've just found my simplified version of Autumn's notebook list so will post in a while. I've kept it to the original 9 notebooks, as Autumn had originally but I have simplified and 'Anglicized! it
