Lamy Safari V Parker Pen - Haul

Howdy Hedgehogs!!!

First things first

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IRIS!!!!!!!!

This was what I came in to this morning!! There was another banner up BUT I took it down without realising, then I suddenly thought oh I need to take a photo!

My desk was covered in confetti, and do you see the two Chanel handbags on my screen, GST and PST, yes I'm a woman obsessed!!!

Now that I have shared all that with you and wished Iris a Happy Birthday!

On to my lovely new pen that I'm not too sure about!

I will show you the outside, you will probably guess what it is, this was after a bit of enabling from CP, but it wasn’t like that, she just told me how you can use it with pink ink!!! I have been wanting a fountain pen with pink ink for AGES! But I wanted it to be a pink fountain pen too but no luck!

I will show you all the pictures of my unveiling of my pen!

Isn’t she a beaut! Yes it’s the Lamy Safari in Turquoise! YAY!!!!

I have been using a parker pen for a long time now, ever since year 8 at school, I have been through 3 of the same parker pen, oh I love that pen!

Here is them next to each other!

I also did a few test so compare the writing capabilities, the Lamy is the lighter of the inks and the Parker is the darker!

So far I have found the Lamy to be a bit scratchy, does the nib settle in a bit? Its just slightly feels like there is a bit of resistance between the nib and paper as if I'm writing on sanding paper? Is that normal for the first few uses of it! But I love the way you hold it, it feels like its all snuggled up in my hand at home!

She is rather a chunky pen too!!!

I'm a smitten kitten so far, lets just hope she gets a bit looser!!

I also bought the following: -

The Body Shop – Vitamin E Rose Spray Mist, luxurious for hot days and times in the city when you just need to freshen up!

The Body Shop – Eye shadow pallet on sale! (I had a £5 voucher with my magazine and needed to get the Mist)

Lamy Safari Turquoise pen – I LOVE THE PEN HOLDER THAT IT COMES WITH!

Hello Kitty Stickers – There puffy and have fruit on them!! MMM

Hope you have enjoyed all that

Filofax Dreams About Jon? Not as it sounds!

Thank Graham it's Thursday!

Yet another dream and it was Filofax related!

I was sitting in my office, looking on YouTube and it was telling me one of my Filofax videos had been removed due to copyright problems! Then out the corner of my eye I saw a Filofax van turn up, I was all excited thinking ooo is this something for me?

The person got out with a pile of Filofaxes and just went next door, I'm guessing it was like a book club with Filofaxes. (doesn't that sound like stuff dreams are made of) They never came to my office so I went home bit fed up and down.

As soon as I got home what did I see but the Filofax van, and Jon was driving, but he looked like this person on YouTube was rather odd. (not that i even know what he looks like to compare him) He did this whole Filofax stunt show! I don't remember how he did stunts with Filofaxes but it was interesting!

Then he gave me a little box, I opened it and it had my special Filofax inside, I opened the Filofax and it had all the wrong sized pages inside, a pen and a sticky note. The sticky note said, "I hope you enjoy this special Filofax, from the Filofax team".

I put it down and saw this magazine next to me, I opened it and the first thing I saw was an advert for a Filofax convention! It was Filofaxes and lots of diary insert suppliers and pen suppliers! It look amazing! But it was in Edinburg, so I spoke to Jon to find out more about this amazing thing! But he just said yeah I'm going but I know nothing else, so I tried to persuade my parents to take me and they refused!

I went and sat down and looked at my Filofax again but properly this time, it had mini pages in a pocket sized Filofax! I was so confused, I looked through and noticed there were some hand printed pages, it was all my Facebook and twitter contacts printed with pictures and everything? I was really confused by this! Then I woke up

What are with all these weird Filofax dreams lately! But I like to share the ones I remember that are the most interesting with you all! Will start on my pen comparison as soon as I get in to work, then I will set up the first post for Filofax college you can still enrol, filofaximy@live.com

Much love <3 xxxx

To clear it up, jon looked like the one in glasses in my dream....

Strange Chanel Dreams

Happy Friday Fruity Loops

My weird dream for this week was last night...........well I was at a fancy dinner around 80 people around a oval table think it was a 21st meal, I was at the head of the table. There were chandalers on the celling, gold everywhere and a huge lit fire place.

I had just been given presents from People, I received two Chanel Wallets a Chanel flap style bag! All of a sudden 5 girls came In and the fun happiness was ruined! They had this presence about them......

I have had a few dreams like this very similar!

As they came in they started to go through people's handbags and take things! They came over to me and I had a Chanel wallet in my hand, they said do you have anything else like this I said no, I had a pretty red Chanel wallet inside my bag and a weird Chanel flap on to the bag, I don't know how they missed those! They still looked through my bag but for some reason didn't see the flap bag or the wallet!

So as they left I set back and relaxed, suddenly everyone was getting up and running away, I wad just wondering what's going on now?

Then I looked down noticed someone else had stolen my handbag! I was completely shocked!

As I got up the whole room dissapeard and we were all running across a huge field walled with boulders and random trees all over the place.

I started to run as fast as I could to try find the person.

I found one person with the same bag as me and pinned her to a wall, said is that my bag she said no so I quickly riffled through her bag and it wasn't mine, so I apologised and she walked off.

I started to franticly run around looking for my bag, I was in tears that bag meant the world to me! I saw a friend from school called Vicky, I stopped her noticed she had two bags and asked where did you get that Chanel? She told me she stole it from some silly bitch! I was shocked! It wasn't mine but I couldn't believe she had done that to someone!

I ran off..................then I woke up so I will never know if I got my Chanel bag back! :-(

So that seemed to be my random dream for the week! I didn't have cheese before bed!

Have a nice day and weekend!

Much love <3 xxx

5 Things You Didn't Know About Me - 5 Things I Love!

Hello everyone here is 5 interesting facts about me you may or may not of know!

1. I was born in Australia and moved to the UK at the age of 8 months or something?

2. I can NEVER have my own child, I can adopt or have a puppy, I'm going for the puppy!

3. I have a support group for my Intersex condition and I help a lot of people through it, it can be stressful, but there the closest things to sisters I have! I don’t know what I would do without their support!

4. I have been with my boyfriend since 25 September 2006 and he is rather cute!

5. I used to be size 8 and then I started on HRT and I went up to a size 14-16, nasty HRT!

So there are five random things that most of you probably didn’t know about me!

I just thought as I'm quite new to this blog thing I would let you get to know me a bit better! 

And also I thought I would write five things that I'm happy about that I feel make me who I am!

1.   My love and obsession for Filofaxes and Designer bags!
 
2.  The fact that no matter how hard I try I struggle to not help people and be nice!
 
3.   I was born this way, yes Lady Gaga’s song means a lot to me, its quite a tough thing to be told your Intersex at the age of 16.
 
4.    The people I have met online, from Filofaxes and my condition, they are my only real friends other than one that lives near me, but I wouldn’t really want it any other way, your all AMAZING people and brighten up my day!
 
5.    And finally the fact I'm so excitable that I struggle to stay calm when I'm told about something exciting! I really am a puppy dog!

Hope your all having a nice Thursday!

Much Love <3 xxx

Filofax Planning and Organisation

Happy Wednesday Watermellons

So today I'm going to be talking about Planning for your new Planner!

Now I know that sounds nuts but I will show you a picture below of my planning’s for my new planner: -

(Sorry about the following HUGE mass of text)

Between all the decision making of a Malden Personal or a Special Pocket Filofax Mmm, I have also been working out how to use them, I did a post on my Filofax conclusions towards what I'm going to do with them, Filofax Solutions and as you can see I decided what I was going to do with each, well I'm not getting both at the same time, and one is a present so yeah. But I am going to get the Malden either on my birthday depending on the bad I get or at the September meet up, I haven’t quite yet decided! (oh and I need to save for the meet up in September).

So back to the picture above, this is the planning for my Malden/Personal Filofax, I am going to start to set it up in my Amazona for now so I can have it all ready to go when I get the Malden and swap it all over so I have a whole new organiser all set up and ready to rock, its going to take A LONG time to set this up!

So first thing on the list will be a tab called Diary (I'm going to use the see through tabs you can change as many times as you like and cover them with a collage to make them look pretty) so I'm either going to get day to a page or two days to a page, leaning towards two days to a page as more practical and still plenty of room, I am also going to have a monthly diary, which I already have and I'm just going to put that in! Good for quick planning!

There is the bad boy ready to go!

Next I'm going to have a Planning Tab, yes this is a planning post and I'm planning to have a planning tab, I really thing I have gone over the top! I forgot to mention each section within the tabs is going to be colour coded I have yet to plan that!

So I will have a place to plan future blog posts, youtube videos, and travel arrangements!

Then its going to go on to Loves (in other words things I like)

Websites

Youtubers

Bloggers

Quotes

I shall have a Lists tab and each list will be different not all to-do lists! I have started to plan a bit about the paper on this one.

To-do – Cotton Cream, now everyone has a to-do list, I'm going to make less to-do lists as I just love the cotton cream paper!

General – just lists of things to pack etc..

Shopping

Bucket List

That list above isn’t my final list of lists there will most likely be more, like the 30 days of lists is starting again soon so I will probably have a section for that too!

Information, now this is where it gets a bit complicated!

Social – now this is going to be like if someone has a blog, twitter and Facebook, so I don’t get confused I'm going to write down all their things next to each other so I know who is who, I easily get confused and think I'm talking to someone else, I so I just want something to keep it straight in my mind!

Addresses – HM Revenue and Customs, people I know, pen pals etc…

Telephone numbers – I know this will be under addresses but I just want a list to look at quickly!

Club Card Details – as in Debenhams beauty details in case I loose them

Password – online banking, Facebook etc

Important – Phone contract details etc, so I know when they end and how much they are etc… and also it will have a list of all my direct debits to control my funds better!

Then finally Other?

Well I have not decided on the last tab but this will include things like Magazine clippings tickets random pieces of stuff to remind me about things, if you have any ideas for my final tab let me know, or if I have missed anything let me know!

I want to be super organised!

I know it all sounds a bit OCDish to go to this much effort to organise but that’s me I'm a bit like that!

Travel Planning?!

Oh look who is back, for a second time in one day!

Yes I had to do another blog post as I had said I would do it yesterday and never got around to it, I am also going to give you an update on the Filofax Experiment, I will obviously do a full post on my findings at the end!

So this is all about my OCDness when it comes to planning trips on the train anywhere whether it be a day trip to a local town or a trip to London for a day, a week, a month, a few days etc, you get the idea, well I once bought this Moleskine London trip planner! I used this for the second ever time I went to London without my parents, it came in handy as we were too scared to catch the tube, so we walked everywhere!

This is the front of the book, I bought it from Waterstones around 5 years ago! Wow that’s a long time I didn’t realise it was that long ago……

I might add a bit of this into my book…hmmm…..

So when you open it you get the usual thing where you can write your details, which I never did, which may have been useful as if I lost this notebook I would have been lost! Properly! (just to let you know, when I go up now I always plan in a Filofax then photocopy the pages, as I don’t really like to travel with too much when I go to London as I'm usually carrying one bag for 2 days).

I didn’t open it on this page for any specific reason! Just first page I opened at, was for some reason marked with the page marker….i don’t remember going there either?

You don’t have to draw on the map either as it comes with like post it not style tracing paper to mark out your routes you want to take which is VERY useful and if you use pencil you can re-use, which I didn’t do! Will show you the tracing paper at the end as its in the pocket at the back.

Next you have a tabulated section :-

 

I love the word tabulated, is it even a word??

I kept al tickets in the back ready for use.

So the first secion written in was appointments and outings, here is what I wrote all those years ago

My planning is A LOT neater and more organised these days I write every tube station to the last second I need to change at etc…. but I do have problems I know, who needs that much detail, I'm a bit of a control freak about things like this, I'm out of my comfort zone I need to be prepared so I feel safe, my plans are like my blanket that keep me safe from people hurting me! Now that just sounds mental.

Here is the next section:  -

This was the hotel arrangements, I had to book two rooms as I was going in for an operation I was only in one, for a night then my parents were in one etc…. so confusing, I'm slightly confused about all this as this was not a book I took for my operation, so I don’t know if we had to change rooms half way though our trip or what happened, as this wasn’t my op trip it was the one before to say I wanted an op…to find out about the op and all read my book in 500 years when I finish writing it. I loose motivation you see!

It appears I used this for two separate trips as you can tell there are more train planning behind this one! I bet you love the way how I'm discussing with myself all that’s going on with this book, even I get confused with this early practice planning before the hard core stuff I do today! (BTW this was before secretary school where I was taught to plan even more efficiently).

Then it’s the tracing paper you can see where I traced with a black pen I believe

Madame Tussauds is marked out so that must be a good sign?

In the back pocket I found a lot of random pieces of paper that didn’t make too much sense, like the train reservation was the for the wrong date COMPLETELY!!! 

I’ve never been in August!

So I hope you enjoyed the trip in to my early planning techniques!!!

And now a quick experiment update: -

I am now only using Experiment #2 Two Days to Page.

Full post will be on this experiment on Saturday I believe!

Much love <3 sorry it got a bit confusing xxx

Filofax Solutions - Felt Making & Fathers Day Treats

Happy Tuesday Truffles

How are you all today? Hope you all had a nice weekend, well I have a very long post here today for you, about my day yesterday and my Filofax ideas……

Well I will start on the Filofax Themed variety as I know that’s what you all want to hear!!!

So I have been thinking and thinking then I received a sign, it was in the name of Filofax and I had to think no more! So I am getting the Special Edition Pocket I was talking about the other day! Rather excited about that, and I'm going to tell you what I am going to do with it, how I am going to use it and how pretty I believe its going to be when it arrives, then I have a bit more Filofax news to tell you!

I am either going to use the diary that comes with it, week to page cotton cream, or get a day to a page and month to view diary, this is because I am planning on using it as a “handbag” diary, as in when I'm out and about and I make an appointment or a plan with a friend I can write it down (I down sizing handbags so need smaller diary, or I might just be staying same size, but I'm going up in the handbag world). I am also going to use it for small to do lists during the day, i.e. shopping lists etc, its just going to be my cute diary to go to, and I will always keep it up to date and in my bag! I PROMISE!!!!!

So that’s my plan for the Special Pocket ;-) and by golly it’s a good plan!

After that I am going to get a Malden Personal sized in either Red or Black, I am going to use that as my “main” Filofax and it is going to have all information in I need all the time, i.e. HM Revenue and Customs Tax Offices, as I'm a secretary in an accountants, I cant remember all the tax office addresses so I have them written down and I thought where better than in a Filofax! (Need some enabling towards Malden)

EVERYTHING in the Malden is going to be colour coded!! And very well organised, I'm also going to have sections for youtube planning, blog planning etc…..so look out for my post on how I use my Filofaxes to find out more about this whole issue!

I just have to say this one thing before I move on to the next subject at hand……I CANNOT WAIT TO GO TO THE PHILOFAXY MEET UP IN SEPTEMBER!!!!!!

Now I can tell you all about my weekend, well I went to the Roller disco as usual, yay, I am getting better, roller disco post coming later in the week! Like promised!!

I baked some cupcakes on Sunday for Fathers Day and my Granddads birthday the week before!

Coffee Cupcakes with Coffee Icing!

I sliced the tops off then put icing inside as well to make them more moist, my cakes are always dry, this is a before and after pic!

Then the next day I had my injection in the bum and felt NOTHING! YAY!!!! Lol after my boyfriend telling me it would hurt (no pictures I'm afraid haha)

We went home and tried to make a felt handbag me and my mum did, it was quite interesting as it didn’t work too well, here are some pictures: -

My mother

Here is my kitten (shes a full grown cat now tho) Kalamari, we left her alone and she slept on my Macbook Pro, she obviously loves Apple computers too!!!

Sorry the end of this post has been quite week, my weekend wasn’t too exciting!

Filofax Experiment Update & Pocket Love?

Afternoon Apricots

How are you all today? And Happy Fathers Day to all your Fathers, and if you’re a Father reading this!

I am going to do a fathers day related post later!

So I have one question will a pocket sized Filofax be big enough with day to a page, I really love the Filofax Special Edition Personal Organiser with the black patent leather and the Swarovski Elements, as it says on the website just look so beautiful and very imy, here is the link http://www.filofax.co.uk/store/organiserdetails.asp?rangeId=109&sizeId=2&dsizeId=2&spId=913

See its on sale at the moment half price, I really like it, if it came in personal size this would be no competition to be honest but would that be sufficient to my needs, what do you all think? Do you find the pocket too small or a good size? Can you fit a passport inside??

Please answer those questions if you know, I need to look on Flickr for some more pictures of it!

Anyway back to the post!

So its an update on my experiments :-

Experiment #1

Week to View Cotton Cream

I have completely stopped using it, I find it soo small, the paper is lovely just boxes not big enough!

Experiment #2

Two Days Per Page (Homemade let me add)

Still using it here is a picture to show…

So its going well with the two days to a page, I kind of feel that the Pocket day to a page might work, it looks like it would fit if you get me? Its rather nice (im feeling a bit obsessed)….

Experiment #3

Day per Page (Homemade again)

Im still using this but im not 100% sure I feel there is too much room, but then the room can be very useful….

Yes I crossed something off, not oftehn that happens.

I know it wasn’t the most exciting up date but at the moment two days to a page is wining!!!

I also have another question about the Pocket, does anyone know if that one is in either stores, if they have seen it? (I saw it in real life and loved it) I just mean if they still have it in store or I would have to order online?

Anyway as you can tell I am rather excited!!!

Will do another post later about my dad and his old Filofax hehe

Have a nice evening!!!

Much Love <3 xxx

UPDATE: I cant do the post on my Dads old Filofax as i couldnt find it, sorry :-( with my next post i will post a picture of me and my Dad :-) xxx

Filofax Experiment

Afternoon After Eight Mints

Yes another blog post within hours of each other!!!

So I wanted to to do an experiment about which page layout I prefer and if I can really live with a personal sized Filofax…..

I got this idea a bit from Plannerisms,   Thank you Laurie :-D And I'm kind of using her other idea about Calling the Dog,  yes that idea sounded a bit odd to me until I read it and it kind of made sense.

So first of all I should tell you the about the Filofax I'm using for this test, it kind of feels like an exam, and yes I am sort of now going to do a What’s in my Filofax blog post (MY FIRST EVER).

Well I'm going to let you wait for a bit with a lot of dots to draw out the tension a bit……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Its my wonderful AMAZONA!!!! I bet pretty much all of you knew that was coming but I wanted to draw out the suspense a bit!

So inside the first thing you see is Arnold the prickerly bear! Yes my mother painted it for me, when my dad gave it to me I burst in to tears as it had a picture of my cat on the otherside and she made it for me as I was going to London for the first time ALONE (I had been many other times but never alone) so I was a bit nervous!

But yeah its so adorable here are some pictures of the pretty thing: -

The back is a picture of my Cat that passed away a year and 3 days ago, I'm going to his grave on Monday, I really miss him :-(

After that you can see that I have in my pocket the following: -

·          Oyster Card holder with Bite Card in too, in a Starbucks card holder ;-)

·          Receipt from Silks Coctail bar (which is in a posh ***** hotel I stayed in when I went to London by myself, I live in style) but I only just found out, City Organiser is about 20-30 meters away! Why was I denied this knowledge! Lol

·          A picture of my lovely dog buster (well I wish he was mine)

·          A sticker from Eyeko

·          A list of how to say the weather in French

·          Paper Clip

·          Things for my tabs

·          List of things to do in NEW Filofax

Here is the diary sort of bits I use….

One attempt at trying to be organised (my holiday days, didn’t last too long lol)

My monthly calendar in case I have future appointments and only have 3 months in my diary…

There is a lot of crap in it really, I have also included some up close pictures of my Filofax Ruler Page Marker! (One thing they should of included in the Flex!)

Well on to the experiment after that rather failed ‘What’s in my Filofax?’.

Don’t worry when I have more time to do one and I'm using my new Filofax I will do a proper one this was more of a little introduction to my Amazona for the moment!

So I am now going to list my experiments below: -

Experiment #1

Week to View Cotton Cream

I want to see which works for me best, but ignor any messy writing its only because I had to write in a lot of things quickly this morning to remember to use it etc…..

I'm going to try and use all 3 then the one I stop using will get left behind until there is 1 clear winner!!!

Experiment #2

Two Days Per Page (Homemade let me add)

I researched a bit and found out that on the Sunday it has a notes page so I have copied that format….

I have covered the village my doctors is at, I don’t care if you know what times…. Yes I have two appointments at the doctors in one day!

Experiment #3

Day per Page (Homemade again)

There isn’t much I can say now is there, you get the idea.

So I am going to try these three formats for a full WEEK!!! WOW and see which I prefer! Already the rings are annoying me on the left hand side, but I need to find a way to concur that, any ideas?

Look forward to all your comments on this post and advice will be MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

Much Love <3 I will post again on Sunday I think to give you an idea on how this is going!!!

Meerkat Adventures!

Morning Cupcake Critters!

I managed to adopt a lovely Meerkat yesterday!

Here his is in his packaging crate they sent him in, you see when you import Meerkats these days they think its something to do with the Compare the Meerkat website and automatically make him look like a toy! Which I was not all that impressed with, he is a living animal!

So after I took him out of his packaging crate he quickly scurried off, and hid, I think he was a bit shy it being his first day as a real life Meerkat in Cornwall, being a Meerkat in Cornwall is harder than if he lived in London you see! You have to be careful with them, as they like to nibble you.

After he got over his shyness he peaked around the corner and that pesky Meerkat was copying every word I said, he jus would not be quiet! I really don’t get why. So I fed him a Snickers bar and that shut him up (I don’t have photo evidence of him eating chocolate as he snuck off around the corner).

As you can tell he is quite nervous around me, me being 4 or 5 times his size maybe even more! But there is one big problem, I just could not name him, when I held him for the first time I just didn’t “feel” a name for him! He just was Meerkat (oh and he is defiantly a HE).

When we got home I let him meet Martin and as soon as he saw him he ran over to him and cuddled, Martin really has a way with animals!

We went inside and he just hid in the corner, I could even get a picture of him hiding, couldn’t see him.

Then this morning I woke up and guess what was going on……….he was snuggled up under the covers, taking up three quarters of the bed! Which is not fair me and Martin were pushed over to the side by him.

See what I mean about him stealing my bedding! Nasty little Meerkat but isn’t he so cute!!!

So can you PLEASE come up with a name for him? I will post more adventures of a Meerkat soon!

Disclaimer about Filofax College:

Its not mandatory to join in with every class, if you miss one you can easily catch up, you don’t have to do the Homework, its more just going to be things you can learn, and some homework will be fun, if you need an excuse to watch a film this is it!

Also if you want to do a lesson, you just have to plan it, any homework you want done from it, if you have a pop quiz just give me the answers I do not mind marking them. So you don’t have to do too much work if you want to do it, and obviously I will plug your blog/youtube/twitter what ever you want!

If you have any other questions about Filofax college just email me at filofaximy@live.com

Look forward to hearing from you all!

Much Love <3 xxx Imy xxx

Filofax College

Hello All

I am guessing your all craving another blog post from me…. (maybe not)

Well I wanted to tell you with a dream idea for my career I came up with today….

So here it is, I want to open up a shop called Filofax College, you can kind of guess where this is going!

It all started with me saying to my boss and a colleague, if I ever win over a million pounds I'm going to buy you all a Filofax and I'm going to spend a day teaching you to use it, they all kind of shook their heads in a bit of a I feel sorry for you way, I carried on. They will not be able to leave the day of teaching until they can prove they will be amazing with a Filofax, and the most well learnt person (totally the wrong wording I know) will get Filofax prises.

In this plan I open up the shop called Filofax College, with everything Filofax, including computers set up ready to use the address book software and also printers, kind of like an Apple store but for Filofaxes!

So how all this would work is, you come in to buy a Filofax, and you choose all your inserts and pens (I would stock all the nice pens to write with, not just Filofax ones but pilot, parker etc) and have a scrap booking section with stickers and stuff for jazzing up your beauty, I would have every style.

But after you had bought all of this stuff you could choose a Filofax lesson for free, it would only be a 10 minute lesson, it would be like a pizza menu but with different lessons on, from archiving to setting up. Any lessons that took longer than the first initial 10 minute session you would obviously have to pay for!

I would also do days where I take a set up small Filofax stand in to offices, with all the stock in my car and they would spend an hour choosing one to buy and which one is “best for them” and then I would go on to help them for the rest of the day with setting up their new Filofax and keeping it all organised. Would be a day course I would offer!

There would be so much going on my Filofax would be full, then I would have to hire someone to come work with me in this magical shop, any offers? Pay would be very good and you could obsess and enable Filofax purchases all day, could life get any better?

I think the best course I would offer is designing your own Filofax pages.

And who needs Wine tasting, I would offer Pen Testing courses, you could try all pens until you find your dream pen, and I would give goody bags for joining in the pen testings, jot pads, note paper, notebooks etc, all presented with a Filofax College Pen, Pencil and cotton bag!

So, as of 1 July 2011, I am opening this Filofax College (I wont be selling things) and I will be doing a lesson a week, combining videos and blog posts! At the end of each course I will mail you certificates or maybe email them, I have not thought that through!

So If you want to enrol for Filofax College 2011 please let me know below! Or email, filofaximy@live.com from there I will send out course information, and the best part is, its all free!!!!

Look forward to seeing you all at the start of Filofax College 2011!

Much Love <3 xxx
