Hopefully a sunny and warm weekend is around the corner. I've started to note down the weather conditions in my Filofax, so I can compare one year to the next.
So do you record any information on a daily or weekly basis in your Filofax?
But of course it's a Friday so feel free to discuss anything Filofax related.
Thanks for sharing value able information.

I can't wait to get my hands on a personal purple (smooth) Malden from City Organiser- does anyone know when they will be getting some more stock in? :D
ReplyDeleteIs the smooth version like the Crimson Malden, or is the rough version more like that do you happen to know??? Only I just adore my Crimson Malden and one day,would love a purple A5 Malden.
DeleteHello everyone, hopefully you all enjoy these sunny days!
ReplyDeleteI have another question: is anyone familiar with Franklin Covey inserts? I remember someone saying that their pocket size fits Mulberry agenda (personal-like size) well without any repunching needed - any clues to that?
I can vouch for the FC inserts fitting into a personal Malden- I'm not sure about Mulberry planners. They do stick out a bit further, but it is totally worth it for me to have an ideal layout.
DeleteYou can see how they look in a personal Malden in this post I did a while back: http://thecrazylifeofj.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-2012-filo-system-finalized-i-think.html
Thanks J, am off to your lovely blog! :)
DeleteSounds lovely & I absolutely agree with you, Scoot!
ReplyDeleteI always plan things on paper & find it so much easier to concentrate in disconnect mode. Glad to hear your system's working. Mine's in for a major overhaul now that my A5 Malden's arrived :)
@Scoot - Have you posted anything on your setup? I'd love to hear more about it as it obviously works really well for you. Could you elaborate?
ReplyDeleteI am currently recording my temperature twice a day. I recently had an infection which resulted in a three day trip to hospital. So keeping an eye on it is important. I had a temperature at one point of 39.9 which raised a few doctor's eyebrows ;-)
ReplyDeleteVanjilla, Compact Franklin Covey fits Personal Filofaxes as far as having the same hole configuration and size. HOWEVER, Franklin Covey pages are 4.25 inches wide rather than the filo 3.75 inches and this could really cause problems with sticking out the sides, interfering with your pencil holder, etc., etc. Apparently a few personal size filos are built slightly wider and can accommodate this better.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mulberry which I'm tempted to test is a bit wider and looks therefore chunkier, just like the filofax pockets... thanks for answering!
Deletehi Scoot.....
ReplyDeleteCould I just add a huge LIKE to this?! No comments....just hands down proof that PAPER WORKS.
To help me prove my point, Barclays online banking has been off-air all day, the last day of the month, the last day of the week, the last month-end of the tax year. Technophiles please note......
In process of moving from one condo to another... And it feels GREAT every time I check off another thing from the move-specific to-do list. Everything seems to be going so well and falling into place. Definitely feels meant to be.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend everyone!
Definitely not a sunny day here in Chicago, but I'm glad someone is enjoying some sunshine!
ReplyDeleteI also have done weather doodles on my daily pages for as long as I can remember- I just draw a little sun, sun w/ cloud, cloud, raindrops, etc. and then put the temperature next to it. It's silly, but it is fun looking back on it :)
I am impatiently awaiting the delivery of a mini Ochre Malden that I bought for an amazing price on ebay, it's brand new in its box. I have very small writing anyway, and find that I just don't need that much space - I turn the Wo2P into a grid-layout (almost Dodo Pad style) and this way I find I have more than enough room to plan out each day. The lack of structure in the Wo2P layout is what made me think I needed more space than I do I think.
ReplyDeleteI just can't get over how wonderful the mini binders look, can't wait to see if it'll work for me.
Oh and this means I'll have a Malden in each size (Mini ochre, Pocket black, Personal orchre)!
Mia you need a Malden in A5 to complete your collection....
DeleteDoes anybody use a mini as a wallet or purse? I was wondering if it would work to supplement my home bound A5. Jen
ReplyDeleteJasJan: I've been using a mini as a wallet/purse for the past few months and it's been working well for me. I did need to use the side-opening plastic envelopes for loyalty/store cards, driver's license and such, and keep the extra paper to a minimum. You'll probably also want to look for one with a zipped pocket for coins so you won't need to carry around a separate coin purse. I'm using a mini baroque at the moment but also used a Malden, although that was a tighter squeeze.
DeleteWhen it's an especially beautiful day I write down the temperature and a pretty picture :) A little silly but it makes me happy!

ReplyDeleteWould you be willing to send in photos so we could see your set up along with the text to form a Guest Post?

Has any one had problems with the pen loops on the Maldens?
ReplyDeleteJust purchased an A5 (yay) & the material inside the loops has shifted & got stuck. I really don't want to have to send it back. Had a look inside & wonder if I can fix it or if it'll just get worse & rip...
The FC pocket inserts fit the Mulberry organizer.
ReplyDeleteThanks - just what I needed to hear! :-)
DeleteI started recording the weather conditions in relation to how I was feeling - I get bad sinus pressure and headaches if there is a change. However, it has grown into more than than. I look forward to recording the weather everyday. It's my opportunity to catch up on what the weather is supposed to be for the next few days. For some reason, it makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteVanjilla, after spending over 50.00 on the Mulberry refills and other fillers - I was looking through my desk. At one time I was using FC pocket planner and I found some papers and those pretty rulers with the flowers - so I decided to see if they would fit in my Mulberry and they do. I was so upset, because I had spent so much on the Mulberry fillers only to find out the FC pocket fit. I am now using my Mulberry, but I am thinking of using my Deco now. Believe it or not - and I know you will believe it. I carry both with me, but I have got to stop and only use one. I think it will be the Deco for now. What color is your Mulberry? Not even the sturdiest of the new Filos compare to the Mulberry leather. What do you think?
ReplyDeletemywormy, that's exactly what would happen to me hadn't you revealed the shortcut to FC - I so appreciate it! I haven't used FC before, but here we go!
DeleteAnd I'm so familiar with your dilemma, the Decos are really out of this world! Which colour do you have? I don't have any of those, have always admired them, but then somehow gave my heart to the equally extinct Amazonas!
It's such a relief hearing that you carry them both around - so I'm not the only one, lol! Really, I got the Mulberry last week and have been carrying it around with me just to stroke it every now and then, what a condition of mine!
I have mine in black congo and just got it as it was a complete bargain, out of curiosity as I really consider myself a straight Filofaxer...
But exactly as you say: nothing, nothing compares to that leather!!It just wants to be used and loved and I bet it can survive 20 years of real use! And besides, I really like it's size and proportions of the pages, it looks just like a big pocket filofax version!
I use Finchley in teal at the moment, have been dying for the spring to come so I could activate it, but it kinda faded next to this one and I'm really seduced by these Mulberry powers now!
Which Mulberry do you have, do you have any pictures posted anywhere to be seen? :-)
Wormy & Vanjilla: I've been tempted by Mulberry but have resisted so far. I too am curious and your raving review is making me rethink it.
Deletedoris, just as Wormy said: you will love it, I'm sure!... :-)
DeleteVanjilla: I have decided to use my Mulberry since I spent so much on the fillers. I have the Ivory Deco and I really, really like it. The ebony and ruby are on sale at Filofax USA - I did order the Ebony, but when I got it the clasp was broken, so I sent it back. I also have the black Congo and I love, love it!! Sorry Filo!! I have taken plenty of pictures, but have not posted them - I will do it soon. You are right Vanjilla, the Mulberry does remind me of the pocket filo. I also have the Amazona in brown and hadn't used it for very long when the snap broke! I have noticed that Filofax organizers are no where near the quality of the Mulberry, maybe the older ones - if you can find them!! :-(.
ReplyDeletedoris98 - I never thought of leaving Filo and I never really will, but I don't like the quality of their products anymore. you will love the Mulberry!!
mywormy, I so agree with your opinion on quality of the Mulberry (I'm so glad we both have the same model!), and also on love for Filos being something irrational in fact! :-)
DeletePlease, make a post on your beauty and let me know! :-)
Hi Vanjilla: I will post pics of my Mulberrry so that you can take a look at it! I really do love it. Are you going to start using yours anytime soon?
Delete@Scoot - thanks for this - really fascinating - I really enjoyed reading it. Just out of interest - did you pull together the English grammar section, or did you get it from somewhere? It's something I would find of great value. I do hope you get chance to do some photo's and format as a proper guest post. Do you maintain your own blog?
ReplyDeleteAlso - out of interest - which binder do you use?
Not being in the U.K., I have always admired them from afar. I guess the cost of the Mulberry will sometimes justify its more superior quality. I'll definitely check them out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi doris98, I am not from the UK - but I bought mine from Ebay - I did pay 300.00 for it - but in my opinion it was well worth it!!!
ReplyDeleteFilo pocket and personal fit the Mulberry rings, right? I don't want to invest in more inserts when I have so many already.
ReplyDeletedoris98: The only inserts other than the Mulberry are the Franklin Covey "Pocket Planner". The Filofax "Personal" will not fit.
Deletedoris98 - The Franklin Covey inserts for their "pocket" planner fit the Mulberry. The Filofax inserts for the "personal" don't fit the Mulberry.
