  1. Bummer. I just bought a Baroque and a Belgravia from ebay. Btw, I found out that Filo German are still selling the discontinued Filos.

  4. Filo needs to discount at 40%.
    I am days into my new Guilford personal and ready to jump! First of all and I won't repost old issues but the paper quality in a Filo is pitiful. I use a fountain pen and bleed through as well as the holes by the mechanism tearing is endless. Then there is the calendar, which is just a small amount of paper printed back to back so you can't put tabs between months. Maybe in other countries this is standrd but I can't get FC out of my head. Better (much better) paper quality, calendar pages made so monthly tabs fit in between. Larger blocks on the calendar pages to write in.
    In my mind the only thing that Filo has going is a better quality binder and the name that carrys with it. I have tried, really I have and have the reciepts to prove it. Filo (in my opinion) would be weel worth the effort if they spent a little money on a better paper as well as spent a little paper on their calendars.
    They want the people that make organizing a way of life but have little to offer to get us to convert. I don't know how to get this acrossed to them and I'm sure I'm not the only one but if changes aren't made, most of us won't convert to something that looks great but has little organization to offer. Great looking binder, poor quality inside.

  5. Fear not gregorym for Filofax do have a paper which allows the use of fountain pen & "wet" ink writing equipment such as rollerball pens.... try the Cotton Cream paper (also available in diary pages too) I hope that helps.

  6. I've just tried the "MARCH" promo code while attempting to order a Finsbury Slimline, but it's not working. Did anyone else use this code? Did it work?

  7. The mailing I got said it was for 'Select' binders, not 'All' binders.

  8. The link goes to a 'sale' page, which infact shows 30% off, but I've not checked the math to see if it is 20 or 30% off, it might be 'up to' 30% off.

    The link is the one that I was sent.

  9. I use refills from Collins and some other non-branded organisers. Although I use Filofax's calendars in cotton cream. It's much too nice to write on though

  10. gregorym I have to agree with you, I have been frustrated for years with the Filofax diary inserts. I've never found one that works well for me. I'm still waiting for my Franklin Covey weekly inserts to arrive, but I'm hoping they will be the solution. The week with the days as columns and notes on the backsides of the pages will allow me to keep my weekly to-dos with my week and not behind some tab someplace else. And as you noted, monthly tabs can go between the weeks. I'm also planning to put my monthly goals in with the months--something I can't to with the Filofax monthly pages since the calendars are printed back to back.

    I love the Filofax binders and the flexibility of a ring-bound system. But the diary inserts have always been the weak spot, and when I abandon my Filofax it's always because I need a more effective planner/ diary.

    Here's hoping the FC inserts will be the solution for me! And, I'll still hope that Filofax will come out with something similar in the future. I like Filofax's style much better than FC, but FC is much more functional.

  11. I'll agree that FC does have very nice paper. But one of the things I love most about Filofax is that they are not FC.

    It's off-topic and out of scope, but I have serious issues with Mr. Covey, FC and the entire State of Utah.

    I spend my money elsewhere whenever possible.
