  • Before you go and buy a Filofax, think long and hard about exactly what you'll use it for...Then , if you still feel you must have and need to have a diary / appointment book / notebook, go asda or similiar outlet and buy a spiral bound book for about £2.50 or so.then, go and put the £17.50 that you saved in a savings account Job Done.

    Why do you need someone to tell you? You must already know it's a bad idea otherwise you wouldn't be asking.
    Decide whether you need one. If you do, get one as cheaply as possible, if you don't need one, don't bother.
    Short answer is, if you have debts you need to repay, then don't waste money buying rubbish.
    If you will the end, you must will the means.
