Diaries

I buy one every year with the best intentions and end up only using it for a few weeks. I don’t put things in my phone at all.

I have a proper one.

A very lovely purple leather Aspinals of London one that I couldn't live without. I lose my head if I don't have it with me.

I also get made fun of.

I want a new one this year but they have to be Christmas/birthday presents as they're pricey. This one's had a good few years though!

I couldn't get away with using one on my phone, I need to physically write stuff in mine, I use it daily and I'm at a a loss if I ever forget it.

I have one because i hate the one on my phone and tis easier to flip pages back and forth rather than ...view..month..ooh no i mean oh cr*p i've cancelled...start again

I have to have a diary, I feel the need to write everything down loads of time I have lists for everything.

i tried using my phone but found it too much faff, my OH uses his phone for everything and loves it. He is always nagging me to try it as he puts shopping lists and everything on his phone whereas I just stick it on a piece of paper and then leave it at home!

I don't have one & just have my phone but then I don't really do much so if I did have one it would be empty most of the time haha!

Yep I have one every year, lost without it! I write all of my work related stuff in it. It wouldn't feel right using my phone instead at all.

I also have a 'dear diary' too, kinda.. My 100 year diary!

I have a work diary that is like my bible as I got to different places throughout the day. All social things go in my phone diary xx

I always have a proper one and I always have in with me in my handbag!

i like the ones where there is a week to view on one page and the opposite page i can right notes, lshopping lists, to do lists!

Hubby bought me one very similar to this for our first Christmas together and I would be lost without it now.

I have one, couldn't do without it! I do also have a lovely brown leather filofax, but it's too heavy to lug around every day, so I just use a small one. I also have one at work, only use online stuff for meeting requests. I'm forever being told to get with the times but I couldn't do it, wouldn't even know what diary funtion my phone has!!

Also have a series of notebooks, which go with me depending on what I'm doing!

So very true.

I can't. I use my email calender which synchs with my phone and iPad. So whatever I put in one, displays in another. The problem with a paper diary is that i have to rememeber to update it so the one year I tried it, I ended up with half my stuff in my paper diary, half in my phone etc and double booked myself a number of times!

I like to have a paper diary. OH gets me one every xmas. I love to write everything down.

I was devoted to my paper diary that was issued through work but with the new paperless offices we have been forced to use electronic ones. I cried for a few weeks about it but thankfully am over it and finding it more efficient. I am trying to get in the habit of using my mobile calendar but still regularly forgetting that I've organsied things and double booking myself. Gah! Maybe I'll start tatooing stuff on my arm.

I don't have many appointments to worry about so I can get away with using my phone. I do have a very nice address book though because I don't trust my phone to keep everyone's numbers, email addresses and postal addresses!

Yes I do, would be lost without it!

I did use my smartphone until that got nicked out of my bag last week ☹️ We have a calendar in the kitchen which tells us what each of us have on on what day etc.

Paper diary for me definitely. I also get laughed at at work. But at work I have to use the one on Outlook so people can book meetings etc but I have to have a paperone with work and personal stuff in otherwise I'd be lost!

Paper for me everytime. I don't really knw how to work my phone so I'd never know what I was supposed to be doing when. Although we have the outlook calendar at work for meetings.

I use my iPhone calendar. It's great because I've got it synched (sp) with Hs, so if I put somthing in mine, I automatically show as busy on his. Also, I can put stuff in our joint one, say if I arrange a dinner for us with friends, so he just needs to look to see what our plans are ?

ETA: I always have my phone with me, but couldn't be fussed with always having my diary with me...what if you have a small bag? Or you're on a night out? Or you have no bag?

I don't take it on a night out.

I have one. I write in all of my kids play dates, dr appointments, school "stuff" etc. I also have a seperate one for my FB business, as it's easier to flick through, when i'm using my phone to access my page, rather than keep closing it, to check something else on my phone.

I use a proper paper one, I sometimes write things down on my iphone too but I would be screwed if I lost it or it broke. I definitely wanted one this year with all the appointments etc I'd need to go to so got a pretty Cath Kidston one.

My hairdressers uses her iphone to book all her appointments in and it gives me palpitations just thinking about it, can you imagine if it broke?!

Nope. I'm terrible at organising myself though it ismy day to day job. I jot stuff on the calendar if I remember. Most things I remember, well if they are intersting adn I actually want to do them

I use the one on my phone. Its just when bills are paid, medical appointments, periods due, birthdays etc etc. Easier for me with not working anymore though.
