Quite surprising to see how cheap some were. <br /><br />I also visited Goulds in Heswall again which is an independent shop, they had the Holburn in stock and a few others.

I too have found that I can find some information more easily if I record it in chronological order or in a daily book. Like you said, it's in there somewhere! Categorized information goes in my Filofax behind a specific tab. But I've found day books are best as a catch-all for all the incoming info each day!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550291806241735598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-26663205732972940322011-11-26T08:28:49.882-05:002011-11-26T08:28:49.882-05:00Has anyone run across counterfeit Filofax's? ...Has anyone run across counterfeit Filofax's?

What exactly is the 2012 calendar?

It came in helpful - my last contract job dove-tailed with my last government job in some ways (same people, same issues). I came across a person's name and I knew I had dealing with him/her but couldn't remember the details.

What do you put in it, how is it set up, etc. <br /><br />Thanks to everyone for making me feel less weird about naming my filos. Thanks for the name suggestions. Still pondering.
