LV Agenda PM with BIGGER rings!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my little Agenda that was purchased for my birthday in February 2016 and I am STILL using it daily but...I really hated the tiny rings and it was starting to put a real dampener on using the Agenda.  

I bought an A6 Mulberry and although I have set it up, I cannot really bring myself to put away the LV to use it so it just sits on my desk.

Then, a week or so ago I was watching this video from The Planner Spot where she explains about changing up the rings for some 16mm ones from Gillio.  It seemed so easy and without any damage to the LV so I immediately went to Gillio's website and ordered some.

They arrived within a few days and it took me less than 5 minutes to swap them out and I am now once again smitten with my LV.

I am so happy :)

Look at those rings!!

I am still using the inserts that I modified from the ones downloaded from Philofaxy.com.  I saved the source file and word file and made my edits - changing the month and year to red, adding the lines and changing the font.  I seem to go back to this style every single year so that's what I'm sticking to again for 2019.  My inserts are already done awaiting printing out.

Still using home made inserts :)

The bigger rings mean that the paper now goes right up to the pen loop so you couldn't use side tabs as they would crush but I never use them anyway so it didn't matter.  I only use the filofax acetate ones to mark the end of the calendar and the start of my notes (you can see them in the above pic).  If I really need to mark anything else I would pop a top tab on.

Look at all the space still left!

I put a slimmer pen in there but I will have to go back to my other slim Parker as it keeps falling out now that I've stretched my pen loop out a bit.  Lol I must be one of the few that have ever said that the pen loop on this PM Agenda is too big!!

I can now afford to put so many extra pages in that I really missed having when I had to downsize to this, so now I am looking at putting some more in:

• Monthly spread
• To do/buy
• A few healthy recipes with ingredients
• Notes

I'm sure that I will even be able to fit in some of my favourite photographs including one of my nutty dog...

I am setting up my A5 at the moment and that is going to house my exercise routine, measurement trackers, healthy recipes and all good stuff pertaining to the weight loss/health regime that I am currently researching so I am ready to take 2019 by storm!  I'm not waiting until the New Year to start, I want to see the New Year in looking and feeling a LOT better than I do now!!

Lots of love

Custom stickers for my Pocket Filofax

I've been busy tonight designing my own stickers to use in my pocket filofax and I am very pleased with how they have turned out :) the only thing I would change for the next batch would be to use matt sticky paper rather than gloss as I noticed some of the print rubbing off when I was cutting them out.  

I spent quite some time hole punching them out!

Walking the dog

And I've started putting them into my calendar for both this year and next already!

I have purchased my 2016 calendar and went with the Filofax one as I couldn't be bothered doing my own this time, I like the layout and would only copy it but on much better paper.  I might still do that at some point if it annoys me too much!

I have lots more hole punching to do tomorrow...

Until next time, take care xxx

My new red Pocket Executive!!

I still love the little guy, the mini extra slim Guildford, I truly do but when I came across this pocket red Executive that is exactly the same layout and style but just that tad bit bigger I had to get it.

Still has my polar bear dashboard!

Still has my photographs :)

The page edges of my planner are now glittery gold!!

I would love to be able to say with confidence that I am done.  I am probably not.

I do seem to have totally rejected the personal size planners now though, the size of the page doesn't work for me at all, I think they are too tall and narrow.  A6, pocket and mini seem to be working although I am loving the compactness of the pocket and mini's and the fact that they don't weigh as much nor do they take up all the room in my bag.

For stay at home planners I have my A5 size and I love them.  I definitely wouldn't want to be carrying one around with me though!

Until next time, take care xxx
