How long have you been a Filofax User - Poll

It naturally follows on I suppose from how old are you, to how long you have been a Filofax user?

If you have come back to Filofax after a break of a few years like I did, I will let you decide which period to use. This isn't a serious market research type poll, it's just for interest only.

Thanks as always for your votes and support.

  1. hhmm difficult choice for me. I've picked 1-2 years because that's how long I've been a serious user since a prolonged break.

  2. I've been using Filofaxes on and off for many years and every time I decided to go back to Filofax, I bought a new one and so far I have 6... And I don't think I'm going to stop there ;o)

  3. I bought my first actual Filofax in 2001, but started using a Filofax-like binder of a different brand in 1996.

    I would love to know who among Philofaxy readers has been using Filofax the longest!!

  5. My first Filo was purchased August 2000 (Sophomore year of HS) - Pocket Executive Slimline. I took a break for a few years, and now that I am back in school, I'm back with a Personal Finsbury. I count the entire 10 years though, because I remember planning the purchase of the first filo for a long time - $60 was a huge amount of money back then! and I've always treasured it, even when I wasn't using it.

  6. Oh I've always used again Filofax-like organizer. The first one I bought when I was 14/15 (6/7 years ago) and it was a "no name" from the supermarket, there were no refills, nothings. I had to cut everything alone and with a simple punch, it was not as easy to get holes in it. But the "real" Filofax I use about a year. I have taken the middle and simply voted for 1-2years ;)

  9. My first was the early 90's. Can't remember the style, other than it was personal size and black.

  10. I bought my first Filo in 1991, the year I left England. It was a black Personal. By late 90s, I became a Palm geek. I bought a Finsbury Zipped A5 in the mid Noughties and have been using a Filo since.

    To date, I have 2 A5s (Finsbury and Portobello), 6 pockets (Finsbury, Butterfly, Domino, Siena, Belgravia, Baroque) and 2 Minis (Baroque and Bloomsbury).

    Sorry for the essay. No where else to talk Filo :(

  11. I purchased my first Filofax about 3 weeks ago (and still haven't received it yet), so I must be one of the newest users :)

  12. I'm giving myself 1-2 years, but it's right about one year judging by the first time I ordered paper.

    I've been a lover of paper since my first composition book in second grade, but my discovery of Filofax has occurred late in life.

  13. I've been using ring-bound organisers for about 15 years now (German brands like tempus), but in October 2009 bought my first Filofax (Guildford Personal).

  14. I can't remember when I got my first one, but I've been using one religiously since probably 2005. Hey, something for Nan,,,,,I got a Reitz storage binder from Empire for my storage of A5 size binders and it does NOT fit! :( I had to send it back.

    Let's do a poll on who has the most filofaxes,,,,,at last count I have 36. I hope my husband doesn't see this!

  16. I couldn't seem to find a contact link on the blog... so...

    I'll be in London for about two days later this month and want to do filofax shopping! In addition the the main store, are there any other stores in London for filofax compatible accessories that I should check out?

    I saw that poll, but that really only showed how many people have each kind of filofax (personal, A5, etc) I think it'd be interesting to do a poll on how many people have total. Does that make sense? I'm interested but maybe other people aren't. Just a thought. Have a great day everyone!
