Little Pocket Chameleon

I have a new filofax! My lovely little Pocket Chameleon. It’s now in full use although it still needs to be customised up.

I didn’t think, as mentioned previously that I’d ever enjoy using the pocket but I’ve got to say I love it! Every time I take it out to pay for something I feel the same sort of proudness and joy I felt when using my Ted Baker purse. I have yet to encounter a fellow planner “nod” which will just be the icing on the cake.

Not quite flat while open but can stay open itself

Pretty packed with hardly 'nowt in it but no where near as bulky as a personal

For me I realised that the lack of happenings in my life meant the Finsbury became too much of a burden to fill with nothing. So I’ve decided for the moment to use my Pocket as just a diary with odd bits here and there with the view that I’ll add to it the more busier I become.

The set up is:

Tab 1 – Diary

Tab 2 – Notes – mainly to do lists

Tab 3 – Info – currently unused but may use it to jot down any wedding venues/ideas I have to later transfer to my A5

Tab 4 – Finance – I really want to start making use of this as Student loans and the malarkey are rearing their heads + wedding rubbish will really help me keep focus.

Tab 5 – Addresses

The tabs are already labelled by Filofax and for now are working pretty well. The size is perfect about the size of my hand, and really a perfect fit to downside from the personal size.

I’d really recommend trying a downsize to anyone who like me thought they’d never really go for a pocket.

Along with indulging in new filofaxes I finally bought two Frixion pens in black and blue and came across this brilliant pocket I bought from Japan containing Hello Kitty stickers from 2006. Low and behold it fits PERFECTLY in the pocket! LOVE IT! I’ve added some of my other stickers to encourage me to decorate my pages as I go along rather than at the end of the week as I tend to do now.

The Fiance is amazed at how multi functional the little diary is with its 5 card slots that are not stiff or difficult to use in the slightest plus a little side pocket where I keep loyalty cards for nandos and M&S cards and a generous slit pocket across the top for cash and receipts.

My lovely kitties

I keep all my change in the back zip pocket and am finding that I am using it a lot more which was all I wanted from my little sweets!

The only problem I have is I have no idea what to call this one! Any ideas?

Out with the Old and in with the New

I’ve just given up on Little Miss Finsbury, the whole tweaking the set up thing is just not working and I couldn’t do it anymore.

It’s been a frantic week in the world of leather as my gorgeous beloved Ted Baker Wallet in bright orange with the delicious jewelled clasps is well.. about two years old and is starting to show.

Gorgeous

I got it as a birthday present from the Fiancé and have taken it everywhere with me  since, from handbag to suitcase, to carry all to being a clutch it holds my life and is my prized possession. Whenever I take her out to pay I just nod and smile to myself and the cashier like “oh yeah, I have the cow dressed up as a snake Ted Baker.”

Absolutely gorgeous! But a bit mucky now..

 But not no more! I am retiring her for a little while because I can’t bear to see her get ruined as she is already a little mucky and the leather cleaners from the Kiwi brand I’ve tried on her have quite frankly been sh*t so I’m a little upset and a lot annoyed.

Bye - Bye :(

Anyway, perhaps her retirement is at the result of receiving something else in the post this morning..

THE POCKET CHAMELEON?  What The..!

Yes I was a little naughty and bought one recently. I never in my filofax years thought I’d ever get a pocket, they seemed to small, too useless, too just pocket.

But after reading some posts and reviews and getting fed up with how my personal Finsbury can only really fit in one handbag of mine (and has helped turn my left arm into a Hercules arm with the weight on it). I decided to see the rest of the year out and perhaps even the next in a pocket and fingers cross it works for me.

Love the wallet design

If anything it solves the WPP dilemma as it comes with WO2P! I bought it in black as I didn’t like the Rasberry too much and I have too many reds. I am taken back by how SEXY she is! Yes SEXY! The scaly leather looks amazing in photos as in real life and the smell, oh I love new a filofax smell.

Lovely sexy leather scales

I’ll have to write a decent review on her once I decide on names and everything but for now I really must get back to filling her up! Excited!
