The Filofax Appreciation Thread

Original post by ninegrandstudent

Very excited. I've been sent a free Filofax from the new range to review on my blog, and its so lovely! Plus I've finally just published the review and set up in my existing Malden too, so can get on with working out how I'm going to use this new one to its best advantage - I'm thinking a careers file at the moment.

That's awesome! How did you ask for that? XD Or did they contact you?

They contacted me - I've had a few companies do that lately, which I'm really surprised about as I feel my blog needs a huge revamp!

I was able to ask for what I wanted though - I have an A5 Original to review. From first glances, its very different to my Malden, but in a good way! I'll definitely do a mini-review on this thread too :smile:

lotteeee.

I'd use my personal finsbury so much more if it would lay flat! I've tried using books on each side of the pages to flatten them but it hasn't been completely successful. Had anyone else got any tips :smile:

it's such a pain to use when it doesn't lay flat :frown:

My personal finsbury is beautiful but I can't stand that it doesn't lay flat so I've got my eye on the personal malden in aqua when it's released :smile:

Does anyone know of any good Filo blogs about Pockets? I see loads of Personal blogs and a few A5 ones but none about Pocket Filos. I want some setup ideas :frown:

My setup was like this http://lilyactually.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/whats-in-my-filofax-pocket-red-chameleon.html for a while. But I ran out of ring space :frown:

Hello

I've been stalking this thread for a while now :colone:

longing for a Filofax :wink:

.
I've settled on an A5 Domino in red (mostly because its on sale in WHS :wink:

), but I'm worried that I won't like the colour. Some of the photos online seem to be quite dark, but a few are really bright (like tomato colour). Can anyone tell me what colour it actually is?
Thanks :smile:

I do love it but after moving into my metropol for a while I've realised that non-leather really doesn't do it for me - am considering buying myself a Malden at the end of the summer. I love the planner I've recently bought, though, so I'm conflicted.

Ah! Well i'm not really into ringed binders anymore, ive found im much more of a bound person! Maldens are really nice but i remember going into staples to ask for an a5 and the assistant gave me it but it looked huge! I was like 'Can I look at an a5?' 'Yes, that's an a5' ' No, this is a4, please can you check for an a5' 'That is most definitely an a5' 'oh, ok thanks' lol how embarassing! :colondollar:

Hello filofaxlovers, now that I am done with uni and am starting work I really need to start getting more organised and use my filofax even more. I found these amazing calendar stickers in a video and would really like to have something like them. Unfortunately the only page I seem to find with them is American and they don't deliver to the UK :frown:

Does anyone know where to get nice calendar stickers? I saw that Filofax themselves have some but they are neither very pretty nor varied. I really liked how many different ones there were in the American pack.

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions :smile:

I like the school rewards type stickers you can currently get in Sainsburys

Thank you for your answer. Are school reward stickers really useful in reads to different types of appointments etc though?

Oh no, and I don't use them for that - just livening up my pages.

Just moved back into my Chameleon Compact yesterday... And then won a Pocket Malden on eBay this morning (my dream binder) - so I'm going to have to write loads of stuff out again :tongue:
