My week #10/52

Hello! I'm in a fantastic mood this morning, I have had a great week and a lovely weekend.  I wonder if you can spot the reason my week was so good?  

Yes, I am now the proud owner of an iPad mini! I've been having a lot of fun telling Siri to write my reminders and calender entries but there is no way it will replace my Filofax.  Taking time to set things to paper is an enjoyable part of my day now as well as looking back through my pages. 

On Tuesday my email address and Facebook accounts were accessed by someone in Vietnam who sent my friends and contacts a lot of spam.  This prompted me to change most of my passwords over the next few days and I have made a note of them on my Indodispensable Data insert that came with my Dodo Pad diary.  They are all coded though so I should be safe enough if the worst were to happen and I lost my Filofax.
On Sunday I was spoiled with a cooked breakfast and some gorgeous handmade cards before going to visit my mom.  I also got a brilliant present which I will be telling you about in my next post, I just need to take lots of photos first!

Thanks for reading and have a great week!

Pens!

I had wanted to show you some of my stationery collection but it has been dark and raining for the past few days so I haven't had enough light to take any decent photos. I did find some great pens yesterday so I will show you those instead. I was walking down the stationery isle of the supermarket and saw a pack of five Staedtler pens in pink, purple, blue, green and yellow. They were £4.70 which was a bit pricey for me so I looked longingly at them and carried on walking. A bit further along I saw these beauties. They were only £2.50 for 20! There are ten gel pens in different colours and then 10 ballpoint pens in the same colours repeated. Even if they only last half as long as the Staedtler pens they are still a bargain! I can't wait to use them in my Filofax.

Black, blue, green, red, purple, pink, orange, yellow, light green and light blue.

I will be posting this week's pages on Monday, hopefully the weather will have improved enough for me to get some well lit photos by then!

My week #9/52

Here are my pages for last week.  As you can see I am starting to control my highlighter addiction!  I spent some time trapped under a sleeping toddler and my filofax and pencil case were within reach so I had a chance to decorate the pages a bit more than usual.

Tuesday was a great day for me, this blog reached 2000 views! It might not sound much to some people but it means a lot to me and I got some new followers which is a real compliment.  

My planning is getting more structured now.  I have started to use half of the day for my to do lists and adding the check box next to them helps me see straight away what I need to get done and what I have accomplished.  I use the other half of the day to make any notes and write myself reminders.  

Thursday was our dog Marley's birthday, I can't believe he is four already.  I can still remember the day we brought him home as a puppy.  He was tiny and couldn't be left on his own so Hubby had to spend the night on the sofa to stop him crying.  This photo was taken the other week in the snow, isn't he gorgeous? He is such a character and a big part of our family.
