New Planner

Another filofax joined my little family of planners yesterday. I'd been casually keeping an eye out for an affordable pocket or personal sized planner for a couple of weeks. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore my tweed but it doesn't fit in my handbag and several times Mr S has asked me for information whilst we're out and about which is at home in my planner. 

I've really had my eye on a patent compact in either egg shell or lemon but a visit to our local W H Smith revealed a small selection on sale. 

I had a real struggle to choose as I was torn between two pretty floral designs... Blossom and Floral Burst. Both were personal size and fairly close in price, albeit the Floral Burst being marginally more expensive.

I eventually chose the Floral Burst as it felt sturdier than the Blossom, even though I preferred the design of the Blossom. It somehow just felt unfinished, perhaps because it has no pockets? 

Either way I'm happy with my choice and looking forward to customising my new handbag sized planner, as well as being able to have all my information to hand all the time. Mr S I think was just happy I stopped sitting on the floor whilst I weighed up my choices. 

Paperchase sale? Yes please!

A cheeky little trip to paperchase resulted in a few cheeky bargains this weekend. I couldn't resist some new sticky notes and tapes.

I think an under the sea themed page is in order, although I may need to keep an eye out for some Finding Nemo stickers and tape to go with these lovely post-it's! 

The whale is by far my favourite, after all who could resist that smile? 

Mr S treated me to some stickers for Christmas that match these cute notes, so no doubt there will be a 'sweet' page coming soon too! 

Mr S also treated me to a new lanyard this weekend as pens were scarce when he went to The Bett Show yesterday.

So all in all I've been a lucky lady this weekend.
