Yes, I am getting organised. Well, attempting to. In an effort at distracting myself from Back To Work Blues, I went for a wander at lunchtime, with the aim of buying an address book and some Nice Writing Things for the Great Letter Writing Endeavour.

You know those Stationery Set things you used to get for christmas all the time? The fancy boxes with address book, paper and matching envelopes etc inside? They do not seem to exist anymore :/ After much searching I did manage to find a block of basic lined writing paper tho (the chaos that is my handwriting does really not bear being let loose on unlined paper).
Then I began the search for an address book and thought "hmm, a little diary type thing would be handy", since I have a head like a sieve and never remember where I'm meant to be or when. Somehow this lead to me buying a filofax-type thingy.
Well. OK, a filofax. I really must be getting old. Or at least growing up some. Or possibly just senile.

On the plus side I can now spend the afternoon dodging work by filling in exciting little boxes in the filofax thingy. Ah, the joy that simple pleasures can bring ;)

Also, I have booked room for febmeet, for the traditional time-share arrangement with [livejournal.com profile] mivvvv (he sleeps in it at night, I sleep in it by day). The Nice Mr Fail is obviously getting many requests cos as soon as I said 'st giles' he said "17th feb, right?".

See? Organised!
Still knackered tho.

Oh the joy of getting organised!

The boxes! the potential! This could be a whole new life! (you can tell I used to buy things like this waaay too much).

It is a shame about the notelet packs. I had a similar urge a few years ago and searched then, but there was nothing. I blame this for me never actually getting round to writing to anyone

There were a few notelet thingys, but mostly very obviously for young teenagers ;p No lovely writing paper sets to be had at all!
