Finchley Vintage Rose - The story so far!

As you all know I recently bought a Filofax off eBay the beautiful Finchley Vintage Rose - WON THE FILOFAX BATTLE - So i just wanted to do a small overview of the Filofax, a small comparison with the Malden then finally my start of the "set up process" which i have PROCRASTINATED the arse off!

Here is a small compilation of photos I have taken of the Finchley (be warned, the colour does not look right, and i tried hard).

Finchley Vintage Pink - different angles

I was totally supprise by this Filofax, it is so FLEXBILE! Just beautiful, if anyone ever gets a chance to get a Finchley no matter what colour get one, they feel beautiful to hold!!

I then decided to compare it agains my Malden, and the leather feels so much more Luxurious than the Malden, it just feel more beautiful more loved!

Finchley Vintage Pink v Crimson Malden

I prefer the Vintage Rose anyday, its such a beautiful colour, i know the red is really deep any beautiful but it just does not compare to the Finchley. Even though i prefer the pocket layout of the Malden, i love the back pocket of the Finchley as you can use it to put pictures in! YAY!!!! Cat shrine!

Finchley Vintage Pink - cat memorial

Kalamari - 1 Year Old
Jess - RIP 14 June 2010 - 14 Years Old

We now should have a public Naming ceremony, I have named her Florance, or Flo for short, as she feels like a Flo, a beautiful name for a beautiful Filofax! She will look beautiful with my Alexa!!! 

So now on to my minor setting up, which im gradyally doing but i am lacking dividers, so i have made an exchange (well i have dividers but there all red and orange, does not go with pink clashes AWFULLY) with @sallyhj0 she needed a 2011 week per a page diary and she makes her own dividers, so i sent her alot of nice filofax things too in return she will make me some dividers! YAY THANK YOU!!!!!

So here is my main dillema with the Filofax: -

Finchley Vintage Pink - diary choices

So i use the 2011 Paperchase diary, or the Filofax 2 days to a page 2011 diary? Please answer on the side at the poll >>>>>>>

Finchley Vintage Pink - inside so far

After that i have just written up my Xmas list, and accidently put 2012 instead of 2011, which means it can be used 2 years in a row!! early 2012 planning is now in session!!!

I also have 2 today rulers, one for to-do lists and the other for dairy, important for me to not get confused!! 

Birthdays are written down too, one thing i need is telephone number sheets!!! IMPORTANT!

Arnold looks at home!!

Here are all the Pocket and Personal inserts i own in BOX FORM!!!


This box = AMAZING!!! sorry but it does!

WON THE FILOFAX BATTLE

For a while now I have been looking for a beautiful Vintage Rose Personal Finchely, then last Sunday I was told one had come up for sale on eBay! I jumped for joy I was so exicted! I was going to my parents the next day and i had no money to buy it, I had to ask my Dad to bid for me! Luckly enough he agreed, so I placed a bid to get rid of the reserve so no one could Steal her away from me!

I got to my parents and watched her, this was the Monday, a day after it went on eBay, it was already up to £11, I started to believe I was not going to get it, in the end I payed £5.00ish under my budget which I was very happy with!

The lady was really nice, she said she was glad it went to such a lovely happy home, or something like that, I was too excited! The description said it was being posted 2nd class recorded! BUT she poseted it 1st Class recoreded and the nice post man delivered it today (all the other post people [pc] we get are grumpy)!

So i photographed unwrapping it!



She had wrapped it in tissue paper like a present for me!




It came with a 2012 diary and a lot more inserts than i was expecting (i didn't read what it came with, was too excited).

I left her mad feedback saying things like she is Magical and Amazing etc..... I also sent her a lovely email!

I feel sorry for her!

Anyway there will be more to come about this beauty soon!!

Here is my feedback i left her: -
AMAZING!!! MAGICAL THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ATTENTION TO DEATAIL! <3 BEST EBAYER!!!

Pocket Filofax Malden REVISIT!

This is a general update I have changed a few things, I will breeze through some and DETAIL you on other bits!

So here is my lovely FULL beautiful Grey Pocket Malden, its STUFFED and LOVED!





As you can see the FIRST difference, other than the face its alot fuller now, there is a Happy Burger thing that Rori gave me AGES ago in a letter and i had no use for it then suddenly thought how cool it would look there so i hole punched it and put a plastic thing on the back to keep it safe! Adds more colour to it!!

The new things i have added to my pockets are: -


A Staples Voucher
A Cat In the hat joke
Credit Card slip with Osterley written on it
Payslip!

Now behind the info tab, this will be quick!



Personal info


Birthdays

Now behind the Agenda tab:



Another little cute piece of paper from Rori just to add something extra, i also used the reinforcing things to it.

Then behind this i added a pretty cover to my diary to make it a little more cuter!


Paper from inside Zoe's envelope! YAY

Diary


As you can see i still have a bit of 2 days per a page,  then the other side are the days to a page, but weekends are 2 days to a page which isn't right they should have an extra whole day, dont you agree!!!

Then i have a little cute rainbow magnet to hold the pages i have used out the way isnt it adorable my friend Lucy gave them to me for my birthday!!!



Just to show you the layout, I WISH IT WAS PLAIN NO LINES I LIKE PLAIN PAPER!!!!

Now its time for the NO TITTIES!!!! or Notes to people who have a normal mind!



Places i want to visit! - [Thomas i know there is somewhere you said to add on to the list, i havent updated it yet]


Just general notes


Then i made some top tabs with some craft card which @enola05 sent me a while ago, and i have been meaning to to use but not decided then i got in to the Filofax mood tonight, and made a few dividers, this one is for my christmas list, have you been naughty or nice?

Then i made a seperate one for my to-do lists, that looks magical, i just was playing but what a great idea!!




Then the Alfabet i dont use.......

I have some new additions: -


Jess RIP my heart still breaks beacause i lost you, i love you so much Jess I will think about you for ever!


Kalamari - lovely new kitty who is now a proper cat!

Back pocket



Lots of stuff, the magazine clippings are from the How to spend it magazine that comes with the financial times ;-) oh yeah!


Christmas Menu!

Then FINALLY the pens i use in my Filofax!
