Guest : Twelve Reasons Why A Filofax Is Better Than A Significant Other

Welcome to a guest post from Kyla.  We know each other through the Filofax network that has sprung up on Twitter and through Philofaxy - the blog dedicated to all things Filofax and beyond.  I asked Kyla to feed my Filofax obsession whilst I am away on holiday and she has written this post which I resonate with totally, obviously. 


Kyla blogs at "Musings of a Caribbean Princess" and you can find her on Twitter as @CPrincessUK

I remember that day as if it were yesterday. The first time I laid eyes on you, I knew it was meant to be. I simply couldn’t forget you, your looks, your smell, the way you felt under my touch. And although I was already married, I was unable to resist you. It was love at first sight. As the years have passed by my love for you has grown. And I have come to realize that in so many ways, and without a doubt that you, my love, my filofax are so much better than my husband (or any man for that matter). With you by my side, I can achieve anything. You don’t think so? Here are 12 reasons why………

  1. A filofax will never replace me for a younger, fitter version.
  2. However, at any time, and without notice, I can replace it with whichever model my heart fancies.
  3. My filofax is OK with me having an open relationship. Because as you know, when it comes to filofaxes, one is never enough.
  4. It never asks me ‘Do you really need another handbag?’, ‘How many shoes do you own?’ or teases me in front of my friends.
  5. My filofax is a great listener.
  6. It does not emit noxious or toxic gases of any form.
  7. It ignores the fact that I too, on occasion, may emit noxious gases.
  8. It does not leave the toilet seat up.
  9. I can trust my filofax to remember birthdays, special days and anniversaries of all of my friends and family.
  10. My filofax NEVER EVER tries to discuss physics with me. Who cares about numerical approaches to quantum many body systems? I don’t. And I am sure you don’t either.
  11.  It does not snore. And it does not deny that it snores either. Oh how I would sell my soul for a good night’s sleep…….
And last but not least…….
  1.  My filofax is always ready for action. It can go all day (and all night) without getting tired.  J
So my lovelies, can you think of any other reasons why a filofax is so much better than your partner? And just so you know, no husbands were harmed in the making of this post nor divorce papers filed!

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
