Oooh, good idea! :biggrin:
I have a feeling we've been told, but I think we're focusing on Victorian literature and love :smile:

Sounds good, enjoy it!

So I'm going stationery shopping with a few friends on Tuesday, and the only places that we really have are WHSmiths, Rymans, Wilko and Poundland... Does anyone have anything cool they got from these places? I don't *need* anything, I'm just looking for cute extra stationery :smile:


WHSmith is really good right now for actual useful stationery (thinking pens, folders and that kind of stuff) as they have a few deals on. Wilkos has some really cute stuff in most of the time. They generally have a few different themed items at once. Poundland also have some cute things - I bought some paperclips the other day and they're shaped as fish and ducks :3

Hey I just read your post about extra wide dividers would you or anyone be able to tell me where I can find those from please.


Hey, boring answer here but i genuinely just use amazon for extra wide dividers, ive never looked for them anywhere else because we just happened to need them when we did an amazon order one day :smile:

i think staples probably do them and whsmiths too :smile:

Thanks for that, can you tell me if these are wide enough, as I am thinking to use plastic wallets in my file and wondering if I will be able to see the divider tabs past the end of the plastic wallet.

The current standard size ones I have are not wide enough, the plastic wallet just covers the tabs


Extra wide dividers are perfectly sized for things in plastic wallets. I file everything in wallets to stop it getting messy, and I use them as they are just right. Though a handy tip if you don't have any and need one - you can lay a normal one on top of a plastic wallet, mark where the tab sticks out, cut a small slit and then put the divider in the wallet, to do a DIY extra wide one. I have done this to not waste normal dividers in study notes, but always use extra wide ones for nice folders like portfolios.

I'd just like to say this is genius. I never would have thought of that!
Going to treat myself to lots of stationary tomorrow. Does anyone know any online stores that I should have a look at before I spend all my money on the usual high street stores?

Thats exactly the reason i got them, because i couldn't see the regular ones because of the plastic wallets :P Yes you are able to see the wide ones
is it bad I really want to make a 'Whats in my Uni bag?' video just so I can show off about all the awesome things I've got?

I know for a fact I'm going to be that girl on my first day :colondollar:

ah well, I've had my place for 4 months so I've had too much time to get excited :P

I got most I my stuff from asda too! The index cards are only lined on one side though, and are quite thin :frown: their fineliners are really good though! And I wish I had that index card holder.
