Free for All Friday No. 37

Hi everybody!

I think I speak for everyone when I thank Steve and Laurie for their outstanding contributions to this blog so far.

I've been reading a lot about folks having a dedicated Filofax for travel, even for a particular city. If you're traveling this summer, enjoy!

  1. Totally agree Nan.
    One word of unsolicited advice...don't give me too much... leave me wanting more!
    Leave me checking back every day, to see if there's a new post...I love being teased!!!

  2. I have a question: in the UK, does anyone know of a manufacturer or store selling reasonably cheap generic plastic six-ring binders, that take Filofax Personal-size refills? And/or, the same with A5?

    Paperchase used to do a wide range in colourful polypropylene (I think) for about a fiver, and sadly I gave mine away when I moved a few years ago, but now I'm finding new uses constantly and would like to replace them.

    Faithful as I am to Filofax for my proper diary and planner books, I can't run to £20 (for the cheapest Personal size on their site) every time I fancy starting a new project folder!

    If I recall correctly the Filofax stores sell unfilled binders, at a lower price, but that's all a bit much effort for something that's stationery, and not going to be my main organiser.

    And I know Ffx do "storage binders" that are similar to the kind of thing I'm after, but to be honest I'd prefer something a little more colourful, as the folders will probably be on view on my office shelves.

    Any suggestions will be most gratefully received! :o)

  3. Miss Charlie.
    Check out http://www.office365.co.uk they have a variety of none Filofax 6 ring organisers from as low as £10. I think the brand is Collins.
    Good luck in your search
    Regards
    Steve

  4. While not brilliant for day to day use, I've picked up the storage binders (9ukp) and a set of dividers (2.75ukp) for 'archived' projects to keep the Filofax as clear as possible, and a handy yearly archival system.

  5. Thanks Steve, they're certainly a good price!

    I really want something a little more colourful (in fact what I want is the ones Paperchase used to do, and which I rather foolishly "decluttered"!) but I may pick up one of those little Collins chappies if I go abroad next year, just in case it gets lost.

    A few years ago Muji did a lovely six-ring binder as well, in really tough cardboard, and I have one of those left - I wish I'd had the foresight to pick up a few more of them...
