Free For All Friday No. 884 by Laurie

This year we (finally) were able to remodel our kitchen, and have several other house projects on the go. So of course I had to create a section in my Filofax about it!

I have a page for each room in the house that we are planning to work on, and the outside of the house and property. On each page I have a list of all the things we want to do in that area, short term and longer-term. Some things have lead-up actions, like choosing and acquiring paint or other materials before actually doing the work. 

I have to admit, having it all on paper in front of me felt a little overwhelming at first, but it helps to see what needs done and what we can take action on, and when. If the weather is good, we can spend some time over the weekend repairing the gate or painting the fence. If it's raining, we can work on something inside instead. Little by little, our house will be transformed!

I'm also keeping records of what materials we used: the names of the paints, the companies where we ordered our kitchen counter and tiles, and everything else we use so I can find it again later if I need.

Do you keep track of house projects in your Filofax? Any tips for me?

And as always on Fridays, feel free to discuss anything Filofax related!

Vintage Filofax Inserts Filing Box

Earlier this week I was contacted by Billie, who sent me the photos you see in this post. What a find!

Given the details on some of the inserts in the box we believe that this filing box dates back to the 1930's. The filing box appears in my 1937 catalogue and the 1979 one as well. 

Sadly we don't have any catalogues between those two dates, if any were produced. However, as you can see from comparing the two catalogues, not a lot changed in terms of organisers, the range of inserts did change. 

From the 1937 catalogue:

 This is in the 1979 catalogue:

The one that Billie bought at an auction is an enamel metal one which is mentioned in the 1937 catalogue but not in the 1979 one. 

And here are some photos of the inserts found inside the filing box. 

Note on this first one the year is indicated as 193n = 1930-1939

Sadly sections 2 and 3 are missing in the maps included, may be they got over used by the original owner. 

Note the retailers sticker on this page, Chisholms Limited in Kingsway London is a shop I used to visit in the 1980's for their massive range of Filofax organisers and inserts that they had on display in the shop. 

The price on the index sheet is the same as that shown in the 1937 catalogue. And in pre-decimalisation prices. UK went from Pounds Shillings and Pence (£sd) to Pounds and Pence (£p) in UK in February 1971

Thank you Billie for sharing this with us. Billie has mentioned to me that they are interested in selling the item. 

If you are interested in buying it along with the inserts please email me philofaxy at gmail dot com and I will forward your email on to Billie, so you can negotiate the price and get more details of the box and inserts etc. 

Personally I think Filofax UK should purchase it for some sort of museum display!
