You can do this at any time. Please try to ensure that your Signal user name is the same as your actual name this will greatly assist in us being able to add you to the group. 
 
Because of unwanted people we are no longer able to give out a join here link. 

What do I need? - just a micro-phone and some head phones(in ear phones work fine) and a free Signal account. Using headphones or earphone reduces 'echo' on the call. Video is optional, but a most of us will be on video as well.

Who - Serious organiser users only.  We are no longer able to allow just anyone to join these chats due to the disruption caused by fake profiles on previous chats. You also need to be known to us in some way or other before we will permit you to join the chat. 

If you need any assistance setting up Signal, please pop a comment in this post and I will try and help you get one line. Signal is free for computer to computer calls....

Hope to be chatting with you on Saturday 18 & Sunday 19 October 2025.

Free For All Friday No. 884 by Laurie

This year we (finally) were able to remodel our kitchen, and have several other house projects on the go. So of course I had to create a section in my Filofax about it!

I have a page for each room in the house that we are planning to work on, and the outside of the house and property. On each page I have a list of all the things we want to do in that area, short term and longer-term. Some things have lead-up actions, like choosing and acquiring paint or other materials before actually doing the work. 

I have to admit, having it all on paper in front of me felt a little overwhelming at first, but it helps to see what needs done and what we can take action on, and when. If the weather is good, we can spend some time over the weekend repairing the gate or painting the fence. If it's raining, we can work on something inside instead. Little by little, our house will be transformed!

I'm also keeping records of what materials we used: the names of the paints, the companies where we ordered our kitchen counter and tiles, and everything else we use so I can find it again later if I need.

Do you keep track of house projects in your Filofax? Any tips for me?

And as always on Fridays, feel free to discuss anything Filofax related!
