I'm in my A5 full time now and have been using the vertical Wo2P, but I don't like how dark the lines are and my weeks end up looking really cluttered for some reason. Although I like the vertical format, I feel like I had more room in the horizontal format. Then again I didn't have time slots.

It will never, ever, not ever, lay flat. You could add gym weights to it for a lifetime, but it will still curl back up and try to close itself. It makes it impossible to use in meetings, at a desk, or when you're standing on a site, trying to Paul Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834134905640040795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-74162829691255373532014-09-26T16:03:15.890-04:002014-09-26T16:03:15.890-04:00Thanks Tim, I agree that the TMI binders are a cut...Thanks Tim, I agree that the TMI binders are a cut above and I liked the D ring mechanism too. I loved their system, it was so efficient and that's why I'm trying to reinstate it in my organiser. <br /><br />I also resorted to the trial and error method of printer set up.

I punched three new holes on the bottom half of the pages, trimmed a little off the bottom of the pages, and left the width alone. They fit in my binder. I also cut the holes off a Dayrunner pocket pouch and punched holes on each piece of plastic separately.

Also have the vertical calendars for 2015 and 2016, which I think are genius. I only have the verticals in my pocket for now, and find them incredibly helpful.

Last week I went to look at the US Filofax to see what was new, and noticed no more Lizards, Alligators, and Ostrich filos. I understand the Alligator (far too expensive).

I was buying a Flex (A5 purple Smooth) with the 20% off deal (WEEKEND20, ends tonight at midnight GMT time) and needed something to take me over the £30 threshold for free shipping. This insert is one of the only ones I can't make myself as I don't have paper wide enough.

Given I spend time on construction sites, running to see clients then onto design and PCG meetings etc I find I juggle my filofax, iPhone and money all at the same annoying time. Having just seen your review Steve of the Nappa, I might look into a zippered A5 model. Do any of you have a favourite model?Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833038752394584357noreply@blogger.com
