It's a cover that holds bound books as opposed to the ring system used by regular filos.

Has anyone found that they get funny looks when they pull out their filofax during class time?
I'v had teachers laugh out loud upon seeing my well loved binder :confused:

Well, at the end of the last academic year I tied up the maths office and threw away nearly a decade of old HoD files and schemes of work. On pulling out my Filo, the three teachers who were in the office laughed at me. Apparently I remind them of 'a young Mr Barton'. He's like the most organised person ever, makes students arrive 10 minutes before lessons begin, that sort of stuff :laugh:

Still, he's running the teacher training there, so I guess I should try to suck up to him :tongue:

I'd take that as a compliment :P
I work for an accountant part time and as well as being the youngest person in the office, I'm also the only girl and so am constantly teased for my slightly OCD tendencies

Sorry about posting twice, I have no idea how to multi-quote

The snake domino is my all-time favorite lower-end filofax :biggrin:


It just looks so much more expensive than it is :smile: I think the black lining helps tbh. And I never thought I'd like a Domino. Can't wait to move in on Monday (it's my starting uni treat)

Congrats on starting uni!!!
There are two types of snake domino apparently, the light version and the dark, the light has a white band and a light interior and its really not as nice.

I got a pocket raspberry or blue Finsbury for my birthday :biggrin: The reason I'm not sure on the colour is that I don't actually have it yet :colondollar: My Uncle bought it for me, but I haven't seen him yet, so I'm not sure which colour he was able to get.

Slightly stressed since I won't see him til 3 days before I leave for uni, which doesn't give me long to sort the inside out. So I will be watching this thread closely for ideas :smile:

Filofax paper is notorious for being rubbish for what you pay, I'd instead spend my money on something else if thats the sort of thing you intend to use it for :smile:


Problem solved, my wonderful Mum went to York and bought me back a little notebook from Paperchase :awesome: It has horses on it :woo:
Just moved into my Domino Snake :biggrin:

I love paper chase :ahee:
MY poor mother shakes her head every time I come home with a new notebook or pen, which is quite often considering I live 10 mins away from paperchase, whsmith and staples :colone:
