So today I fly back to UK for the meet up in London tomorrow. By the time you read this my bag will be packed and I will be doing the last minute things before going to the airport at Poitiers for my flight back.

But as it's Friday... feel free to discuss anything Filofax related of course.

  1. I have decided to try downsizing to a pocket! I'm not sure which one though. I'd like to get a day per page in and want it to lie flat out of the nox. So, those with poxket filos, what do you have and why do you like it?
    Thanks!

  7. @Nellie - I just got a pocket Imperial Purple Finchley, and it is absolutely gorgeous. The leather is so soft that it opens flat right out of the box, and it's lovely to touch. I also liked the WO2P cotton cream format that came with it.
    I also have a rugged little Urban (they're on sale now in the UK site), and it's been my faithful travel filo/travel wallet for a year now. I recommend it as well.

  9. Enjoy the meetup, everybody!

    Nellie: my vote goes to the pocket Chameleon. I've had it for less than 2 months and it gets softer by the day, lays perfectly flat from day one and unlike the Finchley it has the full width back pocket and the zippered pocket inside the back cover, really discreet and useful for money if you want your Filo to double as wallet.

    I have it set up with a 2011 and a 2012 vertical year planners, 2 months of the week per page with notes diary,tabbed sections for shopping lists, course notes, job hunt notes, finances and information, which includes important info and passwords. I took away the A-Z tabs and substituted them for a sheet with important phone numbers -the rest are on my mobile phone-. Then 2 credit card inserts that hold 4 cards each, for gas and main loyalty cards, etc. The ID and bank cards go in the card slots inside the front cover, along with some important pieces of paper.
    It's pretty stuffed, but I even had room for my own dividers made off Moo cards.

    Very useful, eye catching and lovely Filo. I have it in raspberry, gorgeous! Everybody asks about it everytime I whip it out of my bag.

  13. Sorry, that is 3 months of weekly diaries you can fit, not 2. You could do the day per page if you skip the credit card inserts and a couple of the tabbed sections.

  16. Hello
    I am in Central California and about 90 minutes from San Francisco. Would anyone be interested in a West Coast Filofax meetup? I think those East Coasters and London folks are having all the fun!
