Dates for your diary - Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th November 2026

We are going to run some more 'Virtual Meet Ups'.

When? - Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November 2026 at the following time:
  • San Francisco 08:00 am,
  • Costa Rica 09:00 am,
  • New York 11:00 am, 
  • London 4:00 pm, 
  • Paris 5:00 pm,
  • Budapest 5:00 pm.  
Join in on both days if you wish. 

Do not worry if you aren't available at the start of the session each one lasts 1-2 hours, so pop up when you are available and say hello.

Where? - an on-line chat using Signal. with voice and video (if you wish). If you aren't already in our participants list you need to contact Philofaxy before you come on line on the day of the chat. 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. 
 
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 14 and Sunday 15 November 2026

Free for All Friday No. 939 by Nan

My husband and I happen to be in the middle of a home improvement projects: new siding and doors on the outside of our house. Since he's the one managing everything, there's no Filofax involved, but you can bet there would be if I had to coordinate something like this! 

I would probably keep all of the tasks and appointments in an A5 Filofax that I use for everything else in my life as well, so nothing would get lost, along with file folders for all of the relevant loose papers. In my case, keeping everything all in one place is the best way to ensure I don't forget anything. 

What about you? Have you ever managed a home project in your Filofax?

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

Van Der Spek Leather of the Month

Van Der Spek - Leather of the Month 

✨ Nubuck Medoc ✨

A deep, velvety favourite returns 🤎

https://vdsshop.com/

When Nubuck Medoc was previously available as an Exclusive Non-Waiting List Leather, we continued to receive requests for it long after it was gone. This time, we were finally able to secure enough stock to make it our Leather of the Month.

Medoc has a rich burgundy-plum tone and soft nubuck texture that gives it a beautifully warm character.

💌 Throughout November, enjoy FAST SHIPPING on Custom Made Planner orders featuring Nubuck Medoc. Your planner will be shipped within 10 working days, and you are free to mix and match Medoc with other leathers. This also applies to email orders finalized during November.

👉🏽 We have reserved additional production capacity for Fast Shipping, so it will not affect the production time of regular orders.

Thank you to the team at Van der Spek for supplying me with the information.
