Just looked it up, but it's week to view rather than month to view and doesn't have a storage pocket.

I have always had the Lakeland one, my mum used to buy it for me. We had a different one once and I didn't like it as much, although the stickers were fun.

The theory is that at the end of each month I move stuff to the next month.

In practice last year is still showing March ... because now the boys aren't at home I don't need to know in detail what they're all doing, and they don't need to know what I'm doing, so I never look at it.

What I must do before I take it down is move birthdays to my e-calendar, because otherwise no-one will ever get a card again!

This one is month to view and has a storage pocket. I have used them for years and they are very well made.

Yes this is the one I use, also use the diary too.

That one would have suited well, but I picked up the gruffalo one today. I'd say it's drawbacks are it doesn't have a wire hanger. I hadn't thought about that when listing requirements. Doesn't matter too much as my current calendar has a detachable hanger I can use, though the gruffalos pages are too thin to start off with, so it will need some card behind it until we get to March.

The stickers are nice and more aimed at a UK market than some of the stickers I've had before but better for Primary schoolkids, with ones that say sports days and class parties.

The storage pocket is smaller than I currently have, but mine for 2014 was retro mum that advertises itself as having 'an oversized pocket'. The only thing I'd change about retro mum is you have to fill in the names down the side each week, instead of at the top each month.

I buy this style every year. No storage pockets but they have 5 columns without headers, shopping list pad and a note pad.

Organised mum for me too. But I prefer the home planner and use a different colour highlighter for each family member rather than columns.
