For The ladies

As a male, a husband and a Filofax user, I feel I can speak with authority on what you are about to read.

Planners are like HUSBANDS! (insert partners/boyfriends or significant male others here)

They really are.

Here's a few comparisons that will prove my point....

  • They are precious to you, continually needing modification, work best under your total control and some come with a leathery exterior.
  • Most husbands need a good clip!
  • Your love affair with them may involve a ring (or two!).
  • They are full of information - albeit useless and redundant.
  • Sometmes they can get a bit full and you can't get them to do anythng!
  • Press too hard and they bleed.
  • They either smell really good or really bad.
  • After a few decades they get wrinkly and floppy.
  • When they are not performing to your satisfaction, you may look around and want to replace it with something 'bigger' perhaps?
  • And when you finally drop them - they fall to bits.
  • Some days it's really hard to get them to open up.
  • They are the love of your life and the bane of your existence!
  • When the zipper is left open - everything falls out!
  • Size isn't everything - well except if yours is a mini.
  • They may look plain and boring on the outside, but can be so creative and wonderfully beautiful on the inside.
  • Leave it too long in a cupboard and they get mouldy.
  • You spend hours and hours thinking of ways to change them inside and out - and when you do - you are never really happy with the result.
  • Let's face it - some of them are just plain thick!
  • There are days when everyone else's looks so much better than your old thing.
  • They are the first thing you look at in the morning and the last thing you check before sleeping.

And, if we are really honest - they have changed your life for the better, and are something you know you could never live without.

That is all!
