Family Organiser Calendar

Spendless

I'm looking for a family organiser calendar. I need it to have at least 4 columns for family members names, 5 or more columns is helpful but not a deal breaker.

I definately want it to have a storage pocket.

I want to be able to decide where I write the family names. Several I looked at today has 'Mum' written in the first column, which I don't want.

I want it to be month to view.

Has anyone seen one like I'm describing?

MSE Suggestions:

Storage pocket? Tape an envelope or plastic wallet to the back or bottom edge.

Says Mum on the first column? Draw a line thru it and write something else.

We have a Where's Wally? calendar, it has 4 columns and no pre-entered names. Bought it from Tesco in a mad moment.

I think that there was something similar in the Lakeland Sale?

I bought ours from Oxfam. No pocket but we have giant paperclips and several bulldog clips on a pinboard

I made this one for 2015: http://www.funkypigeon.com/Pages/CustomiseCalendar.aspx?ProductId=122875
You can do it for 5, put the names in the order you want and add your own photo's. It doesn't have a pocket, I had one with a pocket last year and although it was useful it wasn't a deal breaker not to have it.

Just stick a label over Mum and write whatever you want ...

We usually get given the Gruffalo one which doesn't have the columns labelled - it does have lots of stickers though so may be not what you are after. Actually just reailied we haven't been given one this year and will have to go buy our own. I think the National Trust may do one but haven't looked what it says inside.

This one has storage pockets and no names on it.

I had this one last year and found it so useful that I bought myself another for this year. The only slight negative is that the boxes to write in are quite small if you have large handwriting. But each month has a storage pocket that are large and strong enough for several letters, business cards, pens etc.
Each column is blank so that you can personalise to your own requirements.
It's the best family organiser style calendar that I have found so far.

Do the dates go over the pocket? That's how the pic looks to me and is the only thing that puts me off it, as I don't know how visible anything written on it would be if there were items in the storage pockets, if it made the page not lie flat by sticking out.

Oh didn't realise it has multi pockets though, unsure about that, my family can lose anything, they''ll lose stuff they can't find that will be in one of the other pockets. I'm unsure of the Busy B one below for the same reason, multi pockets.

This one does tick all the boxes I asked for, despite my youngest who is 11, sniggering when I said I was thinking of getting a gruffalo one.

I think I'll look tomorrow in the shops and hopefully can get to physically see this one and maybe the above. I'd have liked to see the Lakeland one too 'in the flesh' but the nearest shop is over 20 miles away.
