It was my Malden A5 that had a faulty top ring. The man at City Organiser said he /would/ complain to Filofax - he cannot afford to spend ages with each customer painstakingly checking the rings for faults on what should be a high quality item.

When I got it back home, however, I found that the first ring was faulty - it did not close tightly and the inserts were getting snagged on this. I was SO disappointed. I phoned them up and they were very sympathetic.

Due to changing what I intend to do at the last minute I only have vague ideas this year, but I'm hoping with fanfic that won't really matter too much, and any knowledge I'm missing should be only a web-search away.

Year one, I just had some notes and an outline, year two I used a bound book, which was better but I didn't like having to make sure everything would be in the right place, and only used it after I had a set outline, not for thoughts and notes.
