July 2024 – Is there a plan, Pam?
Is there a plan for July? It’s no good asking me, I haven’t a clue; indeed, from what I can see, getting through July is going to be a case of approaching anything that comes up with a mildly surprised expression and a can-do attitude.

June 2024 – What’s the plan, Pam?

Best of both worlds

On the whole, I am happy with my decision to use the Personal Filofax with a day-to-page insert this year.

In fact, this was one of the factors which was strongly steering Continue reading
