The stationery and organisation thread! :D

I know this isn't stationery, but I think it counts as organising...

Pinterest is an organiser's dream! I just love organising images I like into different boards, and quite a few of those images, I confess, are of planners or systems for organising stationery. Anyone else on this thread use it? :biggrin:

I'm new to the thread and don't think anyone else has posted this, but WHSmith are having a sale on Filofax organisers at the moment :drool:

I will probably invest in the Raspberry Pink Metropol, in the personal size :u:

Now under £20!

I think that Ryman does too IIRC. The Filofax organisers were half price there.

Has anyone ever seen narrow ruled post it notes?
I think they will be useful for adding to print outs and lecture notes, but the only ruled post it notes I've seen are very wide ruled.

My WHS has literally 2 Filofaxes in. Not even joking, and they don't have the mid-year diary in that i want :frown:

. In other news, they also have 8GB/16GB USB drives for just under £10. I am in two minds as to whether i ought to buy all of my stationary now, or wait until I'm in sheffield/ Manchester. Does get rid of the, how am I supoosed to fit all of this in the car?? I do know how I want it all organised though, which is a start.

Anyone know where I can get some decent A4 notebooks? I prefer blank paper, but lined is okay also. Looking to buy 10+ so I can get some discount :smile:

Staples.

you can order online, with free delivery if it's over £15 (which the filofax I ordered was). My local branch actually doesn't have any on display, just the boxes :confused:

I generally dislike WHS but you can occasionally strike gold there :smile:

oh and if it's for uni that you're buying for, you could buy the bare minimum of everything right now and then stock up when there when you find a good shop to go to. My uni's union shop has a nice range of paper, folders etc. for quite a bit less than in normal shops.

Yes! I really like it! Although I dislike how I had to connect it with my facebook account, and made me automatically follow people/be followed. Now everyone will discover my craziness :frown:

Haha same. If you go into settings you can turn off posting to your facebook timeline, if that helps. :smile:

I'm debating whether to buy a filofax for starting uni or a student academic planner, like this:

http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndSearch/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=35606956

A filofax can be used again and again but the planner has lots of useful notes and sections; I had a quick look last time I was in WHS.

Thoughts? :smile:

I'd personally love the filofax, but can't justify the price, so will end up with a diary much like the one you linked to. If you can persuade mum/dad/nanna/Aunty to buy it, or you have the moeny, then go for the filofax. I've a friend whos at uni and has one. She says she can't live without it.

Hello everyone :smile:

Have just found some of the most beautiful stationery websites, and found the perfect diary for uni :smile:

They are...

The Magic Notebook
Katy N June
The Paper Parlour (as well as having some different stuff, they also sell some of the Katy N June diaries a little bit cheaper!)

Decisions! I have a voucher for WHSmith that I could use on one, now that that they're reduced, or I could ask for one as an early birthday present - my birthday's 3 weeks after starting. Think I'm going to have a look at them in store. :smile:

Consider exactly what you want from your diary carefully before getting a filofax- you're obviously restricted by what inserts they produce. For example I think I'm going to need a day per page diary for uni, but because they don't do academic versions, I'd have to spend £13.50 for just 3 months... I'm finding the price of the inserts and the lack of range slightly defeats the idea of having everything in one place.
