Advantages: Long Lasting, got somewhere for everything Disadvantages: Can be a bit pricey for a diary.
Filofaxs have been around for a long time, always remember seeing them in the shops as a kid. To be honest I never really thought I needed one. Always thought there were for high flyers with mega busy lives inside and outside of work. Until now...
The job I am in now every year used to give out a free pocket diary, so I used it to write down all my shifts and birthdays and a few extra bits. I didn't think I really needed one still. But slowly I was using my little pocket diary all the time, carried it everywhere with me! I was even running out of space in it so I started putting sticky notes and having a band round it cause of all the little bits of paper in it.
2009 was the first year I got my first filofax! and I love it!! At first it seemed a bit chunky. I kept thinking Ill never take that everywhere with me and it has ...
Advantages: Very cute looking and handy Disadvantages: Very expensive for what it actually is
The Breast Cancer Campaign Filofax is quite snazzy looking: it has a smooth leather cover and it's dinky compared to the retro 80's style filofaxes. The hot fuscia colour appealed to me instantly; I'm a girlie girl.
However, for the cost of £22, going up to £36.22 from WH Smith, it certainly does not warrant the cost.

Inside the Filofax, there is room for your credit cards, a plastic pocket at the back of the diary and also a mesh pocket. Quite handy for all those bits of paper people like myself accumulate on a daily basis.
There's the usual ringbinder with pages for personal details, a ruler/page keeper and pages for address and notes. However, with this rather expensive Filofax, I only received nine address pages ...
Advantages: Some products are very good. Disadvantages: Others a waste of space.
Avery Dennison have been producing top quality paper products for a long time, and whilst their self adhesive range of products are second to none, they made the mistake of heading to take over the market for computer products, such as pre-cut card for Birthday cards, businesscards, cd covers, etc., and in many ways have failed the consumer.
The reason that I say this is that I, like many consumers, read on the outside of one of their packets, and liked the idea that I could produce good quality businesscards myself. On the outside of the packet it says that I can download a program free from their site which will take me through the process of producing these cards, and I was filled with enthusiasm.
Logging onto their website, I was astonished to find that the only program you can download is a trial period one, whereas ...
