What time is it?

With the clocks changing back to Winter time and our chat being this afternoon, this should help you get on line at the right time.

Saturday Night Slumbers

Well there's nothing on TV... that interests me anyway. I can hear the rain on the trees coming down outside, so what a better chance to update you all on a few Filofax things.

Firstly, thanks for continuing to buy things on via the site, our commission/donation to the Breast Cancer Campaign is growing, I wish it was the total sales figure we could donate rather than the commission fee, but times is hard, or so the news people keep telling us!

Well spotted Gareth about the personalised diary refills on the Filofax site, I think I recall that they started doing these last year on the Letts Diary site. I wonder how popular they are? I wish you could also customise the diary format itself, I know a lot of us would have a lot of fun doing that.

Jess and Oni attended the Filofax Bloggers event on Thursday night again it was about the Gourmet Gift Box Set. You might have noticed has been reduced in price to £38. Jess has done a blog post about the fashion pages.

Our star reader this week seems to be Kyla (Caribbean Princess) who not just content to tell us about her own Filofax Organisers has done a full review of a friends Filofax read her detailed post on her blog.

Reading the post it lead me to wonder what we will discover/learn from each other when we meet up on the 20th... I think I had better review the contents of the organisers I will be bringing along, before I open them for all to see....... 

I am looking forward to the chat tomorrow, I've more or less recovered from my sore throat/cold bug that hit me earlier in the week so the voice should be back to normal by tomorrow evening.

Free For All Friday no. 103

Last weekend Europe changed their clocks, and this week it's the US's turn.

I grew up in Indiana, and back then we didn't change our clocks at all.  Half of the year we were on Eastern time and the other half of the year we were on Central time.  So when everyone else in the country changed their clocks, we changed our time zone.  Even now I couldn't tell you which half of the year we were on which time zone.  It was especially confusing to me as a kid when the TV program commercials would announce the show's time as "8 o'clock Eastern time, 7 Central" and I'd still have no idea whether to tune in at 7 or 8.  I think most adults were confused by it too.

Despite the confusion, there was much resistance several years ago when the powers that be decided it was time for Indiana to join the masses and change their clocks too.  So now the state is on Eastern time all year round.  Except for the parts of the state that are on Central time.

Anyway, as always on Fridays the floor is yours for anything Filofax related!  Don't forget to join in the Skype conversation Sunday the 7th at 5 pm UK time/ Noon Eastern time!

Is your Filofax just for you?

We always think that our Filofax is our own personal organiser, but I'm sure a lot of our readers use their Filofax organisers for organising their families. Especially people with busy school age children, who these days seem to have a far more active social life than I can ever remember!

So when I read a blog post by Susan it got the brain really ticking... Susan's 'Me Binder', is solely for herself. I won't describe Susan's 'Me Binder' you are better reading her post in full. But I'm sure a lot of people will be following Susan's example.... oh yes... another use for that spare Filofax that has been sat on your shelf... what you don't have a spare one.. I won't say any more!

Mid Week Finds

So it's been quite a busy week on the web. I hope you enjoy the following 'finds':

• My Raspberry Delight - Miss Jade Vixen
• The Filofax Daily - A daily newspaper that covers most of the Filofax stories that appear via Twitter, updated each day.
• The Chic Shops of Katonah - Normally I wouldn't have included this link, because Filofax only gets a single word mention, but I loved the detail the author went to in describing this shop. At least if you had looked up this stockist on the Filofax USA site you would know what to expect if you were travelling there specially to look at their Filofax stock, or to meet up with another Filofax Fan. 
• Filofax in interior shots - Some great apartment photos, admittedly they don't look lived in to me!  

Enjoy the rest of your week... the weekend will soon be here and our next Skype chat too....
