Help! X-Mas pressie - Old-style Year Planner

BoltonMinx

I'm dead excited. Got some books out of the library and doing some research now. If I can get my NTL webspace working, I'll post my progress there, otherwise, I'll just do a summary on here

I'm bumping this up, seems such a good idea - if anyone made one of these I'd be interested in what sort of thing you included; thanks

Have a look at Trinny and Susannahs "the survival guidea womans secret weapon for getting through the year". It has loads of bits and pieces like that.

Also look at http://www.kaboose.com/features/healthykids/hygiene-planner.html and select the ready set clean printables for today, this week, this month, and this season.

Thanks for the links kaz, I'm going to make one for a pressie this year.

Just found another link while waiting for the chocolate muffins to cool down. On Get organised.com they advertise the same sort of thing you are wanting to do.

I think this is a list of the contents - sounds pretty OTT but could pick out what you need

The American author Emilie Barnes has a useful website:

and her books eg 'More Hours in my Day' and 'The 15 Minute Organiser' are full of tips.

Thanks Luxor, off to check it out!

might be worth adding as a Summer Reminder - on days out/summer holidays look out for interesting things for Christmas presents/birthday presents. Sometimes they will be cheaper (especially if you are looking at local specialities abroad) sometimes they will just be a bit different - like local craft finds etc.

good idea Seakay, I'm planning on putting in a few OS tips too, to spread the word!
