  • I would love a trip to the tip right now 🤣
    the planner arrives tomorrow, I’m sure you’ll see the difference, with a much more organised me, ha ha. 
    I love stately homes and castles, some of my favourite things to do. I hope you had a fabulous time.

  • Good morning and happy Tuesday 🧁☕️
    Today is purple planner day (hopefully) as the confirmation says arriving today.
    Lots to do this week as I have a days training coming up which will mean I can’t get on with work. I’m very glad it’s on zoom and not travelling, but I will have to remember to make an effort and brush my hair and look ‘engaged’ (that’s the word of the day for training).😁
    Still no spends planned today, or the rest of my life, or at least September…
    I hope you all have tremendous Tuesdays ☕️🍫📚🧁🌸

    Happy Tuesday from the Kent seaside. I can already feel the purple planning vibes emanating, it must be nearly there. I will be in awe of your planning skills once delivered. You will have to properly ‘ move in’ to it, pens , pencils, stickers etc.

    The question is, I hope one planner is enough .......just saying 🤔🖍🖋📚📕

    now, go look engaged, pretend you’re eating Maltesers?

  • Morning WW and friends 
    I have purple planner envy too  :D purple is my favourite colour.  i have a traditional diary (purple of course) for organising myself and i write in it in different colour pens for my various jobs (i have 4).  Any personal stuff like haircuts, days out, theatre trips etc is written in purple :)  
    Happy tuesday everyone x

  • Waves to @carolbee and @Deni_debt-free_dreamer ….I think we can’t have too much purple or too many coloured pens in our lives! Anything that brightens up our days has to be a good thing.
    I hope the post comes early!

    I’m looking forward to you being super organised and an inspiration to us all once this planner arrives.

  • Ha-de-ha @Sun_Addict 🤣 I’m more of a warning than an inspiration, as you all know 😬
    BUT it has arrived and it is beautiful 😻 oh my, it has its own box and…an instruction booklet 😁 it’s so pretty, I’m not sure if I should spoil it by writing in it or if I should just keep it on my desk and stroke it 😁

    That's lovely, :smile: I am routinely offered yearly planners by my school, each year I turn them down and ask for a massive pack of post it notes instead- I organise myself far more effectively that way. I've found if I write it in a planner then I put the planner in a drawer and ignore it! If the post it is literally stuck in the middle of my computer screen then I have to do something about it. :tongue:

  • @kakiste I like post its too 😬 and I love a big desk jotter…I buy my own pretty ones.
    this planner is more of a diary/journal than a ‘must remember to do’ thing. For work I have found calendar reminders work best. Something pinging up that can’t be ignored. 
    I’m not sure why I enjoy a diary so much…I never do anything interesting 😁
