Breast Cancer Campaign Filfofax - lotta cost for very little!

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. Firstly, although photos of the product show a pen, this is sold seperately at a further cost of around £20. 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...

A Great Personal Organiser & Telephone Directory

Advantages: STORES up to 500 directory entries; multiple numbers, e-mail addresses and notes per entry
Disadvantages: Couldn't answer phone before I lost the call. It took too long to charge phone.

...numbers on the same name. * The menu has large print plus icon on 13 full-screen 'pages' (Phonebook, Messages, Call Register, Tones, Profiles, Settings, Gallery, Games, Organiser, Applications, Extras, Services, Interactive) each of which has sub-menus. * Organiser includes calendar (with ability to add notes and alerts) and alarm clock. * Text messages are easy to create either from a template (pre-set), an archived message (pre-saved for regular re-use), or totally new; using standard or assisted (T9) text. * Side and top amber panels flash when call/text received or while playing certain games. Although the main use would be to make and receive calls and text messages, the polyphonic ring tones, with ability to have a vibrating alert and silent option (with flashing lights) seemed really useful. When l made calls, reception was...

The small, compact personal organiser

Advantages: Small, blue screen
Disadvantages: Not good for people with big hands! Not up to date anymore

...). The mobile is light and easy to hold (sometimes too easy if you drop it!) The buttons are fairly small though, perhaps not good for someone with big hands!! ~:Durability:~ As stated above, I've dropped my phone quite a few times. I used to have a non-Nokia cover which cracked immediately. My existing Nokia cover doesn't have a scratch on it. As with all phones, you drop it, it falls to bits. This is so that there is less impact on one point of the phone and damage is minimalised. The only problem is, you have to know how to put it all back together! ~:Features:~ At the time this model was released, the features were outstanding. WAP capabilities allowed you to surf the Internet and the personal organiser always comes in handy. Now with the advance of technology, you should expect colour screens and picture messages. Soon we will be...

Getting personal with Coleen

Advantages: full of information, attractive, price, emotional
Disadvantages: emotional

...British singer and television presenter Coleen Nolan released her autobiography, Upfront and Personal, in April of this year, following its launch with a promotional tour around the country. To date, the 44 year old star has sold over 54, 000 copies, and I am just one of the many to purchase. As soon as I began to read the first page, I knew there was no going back. From the very beginning, I was hooked... 'Upfront and Personal' takes us through Coleen's life from when she was just a tiny baby, with a drawer for a cot, right to the present day where she shares her world with her much loved family: Ray, the boys, and Ciara. Across the 360 pages that make up the book we are invited into Coleen's memories as we travel back to the beginning of The Nolan Sisters (later to be renamed as The Nolans), exploring the depths of their musical...

A Personal Disappointment

Advantages: It was okay in places
Disadvantages: Not keen on the whole thing really

...I actually swapped this book because I had read a review on this site about how fantastic this book was. So I eagerly tried to get hold of it and was really pleased when I did, so much so it went straight to the top of my "To be read" pile. I finally got around to starting it last weekend, and let's just say I am more than a little disappointed with it now I have got to the end. The Personal Shopper tells us the story of a woman named Annie Valentine, who works as a personal shopper (surprise, suprise) in a fictional London department shop called The Store. Annie has a massive client base, from Russian millionairesses to mothers at her daughters school to WAGs (footballers wives and girlfriends). She knows her fashion inside out, and is able to find an outfit to suit any woman, with any shape. And she has been known to style a few men...

Review of The Personal Shopper - Carmen Reid

A good year personally, a bad one financially

Advantages: You learn
Disadvantages: You lose

...'. 14) Compared to this time last year are you? Happier, fitter, more productive? I feel happy and anxious about my new life so I can't say I'm definitely happier. I have a lot of insecurities regarding the relocation in the middle of the biggest economical crisis since I remember it. I've lost some weight though I didn't change my fitness routine (I don't really have one, in fact, I'm less active now). I'm not working at the moment though I'm looking to develop my own business so again, it's something I'm waiting to happen. 15) What do you wish you had done more of? More exercise and a bit more money to put aside. 16) What do you wish you had done less of? I'm an up and down person, so I regret feeling bad, crying and having depressive thoughts. 17) What was your favourite tv programme? I don't watch television...

Review of Your Personal Review of 2008

  Sex Sells

Advantages: Eye opening
Disadvantages: Tawdry and vaguely depressing

...the organiser is likely to become a bit disgruntled and stroppy, as they?ve worked for a couple of hours for a relatively low return. In one instance, the organiser started telling us about her handicapped son, and uttered the immortal line ?every dildo I sell brings him a little bit closer to a motorised wheelchair?. God, it was awful. On that, relatively cringeworthy, note the organiser will disappear into the night and deliver your purchases a couple of weeks later. The person hosting the party gets a discount on their order and an enduring sense of discomfiture. Don?t get me wrong; it?s a good thing that Ann Summers exists. They offer a refreshingly open and relaxed attitude and they should be applauded for consistently promoting safe sex. It?s just that they always seem to misjudge the discrepancy between how they perceive themselves...

A Little PC That Fits In Your Pocket

Advantages: Battery indicator, compact, comes with software to sync with PC.
Disadvantages: No power adaptor (need to buy seperatly). The size of the keyboard takes a bit of getting used to.

...I purchased this PDA (personal digital assistant) in July 2000. It cost me £199.99 then, and now retails for around £150.00. It functions very similar to the Psion Revo, although that costs almost £100 more! It has a variety of different pre-installed programs that can be used effectively through using it’s miniature QWERTY keyboard and stylus, that can be used to point on the screen and function similar to a mouse (point and click style). The programs included on this PDA are as follows: >Sheet – A spreadsheet program, allowing most basic functions including cell referencing. >Word – A simple word processor with all the main formatting functions. >Data – A customisable database. Very basic, but functions well. >Agenda – An organiser that synchronises with all the main brands of software...
