I chose the Personal and I'm really happy with the size and capacity. I recently found a pocket sized filo at a thrift store for $1.25 and I'm having fun using it as a little list holder filo but I can't imagine putting everything I need in that tiny thing!GothBarbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02053230806396868217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346832796942306163.post-10714582761921556002012-12-17T01:02:47.126+00:002012-12-17T01:02:47.126+00:00I've used a personal Adelphi (not the slim) fo...I've used a personal Adelphi (not the slim) for the last year and it holds a ton! Plus it take it everywhere with me, it sits in the cart with my shopping list when I'm getting groceries. I would go with a personal size one if you really only want to have one organizer.

The paper is fountain pen friendly and works out much cheaper than filofax paper if you buy the card bound booklets at, last time I looked, £1.35 each.

I agree with the others, maybe try out the Piazza but maybe slimline could be a way forward with the personal as the 'mother ship' like Alison says :)<br /><br />However, it seems your Hello Kitty bag has helped with your decision anyway!

I know (from your newest post) that a personal won't fit in your amazing new HK satchel, but do you think a pocket might still be bulky in the bag? I don't have a pocket so I can't compare. But that's my advice--test drive for the rest of 2012 (even if that is only a week or two) and see what you think.Kristy Sherrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632384162705933544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346832796942306163.post-78145797031584851042012-12-14T05:17:21.664+00:002012-12-14T05:17:21.664+00:00Go for the pocket, but cut your paper bigger.

It can be almost as wide as personal size, and as tall as the pocket binder (9 x 14 cm is nice).<br /><br />I moved out of the personal & into a pocket size recently...it's so much better! Nicer proportions, smaller, perfect match with pocket moleskines. Couldn't do it if I had to use the official too-small paper, though.
