Really, it is a card holder (debit, credit, rewards), because that's all that was in my wallet anyway. If I'd stop buying Filofaxes maybe I could fill it up with money. So that one's done, now I can spend all my time moving inserts between my Personals and making sure A5 and Personal are in sync.

I will not be going back to the original seller as the rings were fine when I bought it but my gripe is that an expensive item like Filofax should go wrong at all! In my opinion those rings should work properly for years not just 11 months. I still have my original Portland bought in 1989 and the rings are perfect. So I will contact Filofax and see what they say as, Moraghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00979175013861131375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-19071170642124126462013-06-21T14:44:44.482-04:002013-06-21T14:44:44.482-04:00Hi Amanda,

The inserts are essentially the same as the A5 range, just scaled up to fit. It's easy to have A4 paper cut down to the right size, although getting it hole-punched could be tricky unless you also have the nine-hole Gerardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161724366696139219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-80271034806606006902013-06-21T14:08:04.250-04:002013-06-21T14:08:04.250-04:00I was going to recommend the Life is Crafted inser...I was going to recommend the Life is Crafted inserts too :) They have the academic year ones out now :)KateB TPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939014609241304340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-78815739913157409962013-06-21T14:07:24.591-04:002013-06-21T14:07:24.591-04:00Getting a Domino first is a great idea!

The thing that concerns me the most is the size, most Filofaxes I've seen seem quite bulky. Which binder do you think is the sleekest option available? The Original seems interesting, though I am wondering about getting a Domino (cheaper) first to test and see if I like the Filofax system. <br /><br />Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342208227115239554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-35458834113352331852013-06-21T13:02:40.736-04:002013-06-21T13:02:40.736-04:00Life Is Crafted has some really wonderful A5 inser...Life Is Crafted has some really wonderful A5 inserts - www.lifeiscrafted.com.
