Suppliers: Looking for a Filofax or inserts or accessories, then this page is a good place to start.
Ad Spot: This is our readers advert page, you can place a wanted or for sale advert for your Filofax goods here free of charge. However, we do recommend donating to one of our favourite charities, but it's based on an honesty system, we don't check up on who has made donations and who hasn't. This page is great because you are buying from people that do understand the Filofax range unlike some Ebay sellers...

We welcome people to do guest posts on Philofaxy, but they must be about ring bound planners of some type or be associated with planners, time management in some way. We do not respond to requests to post links along with guest posts about pensions, raising a family, investment opportunities in the Scilly Isles, etc. etc.... yes we get frequent offers like this in the Philofaxy in-box! If you would like to do a genuine guest post this post will be a great help to you.
If there's something you haven't understood or there's a topic we haven't covered that is Filofax related please get in touch with us and we will do our best to respond to your email within a day or so.
Can you explain Silent Sunday please?
ReplyDeleteA simple post that is just a picture with very few words.
DeleteSundays are often reserved for Reader Under the Spotlight type posts, but whilst we get people saying they are willing to be featured, not all of them return their submission, so we have to fill in the gaps in the posting schedule.
