Oh, I tried, dear Readers. I really did. The majority of you
voted for wine Holborn and I really wanted
to move into it too. In fact, I did
move into it, even before the poll officially closed. I moved all my cards and
my cash across and I did all my goals to projects to next-action sheets. I made
up all my monthly task-sheets for 2013 and all the weekly task-sheets for
January and designed my own DPP and printed out a couple of week’s worth…
everything!
And then I made the error of deciding, as I had Word open
and was in the design-a-diary mood, I would make an equivalent DPP for the
Mulberry, since it was so economical with paper and cutting and all… just in case...
And as soon as I had made the DPP sheets, punched them and
put them in, I promptly moved ALL my cards and cash and everything back into
the Mulberry, then replicated all the new goals to projects to next-action
sheets, made up monthly task-sheets, made up weekly task-sheets… everything!
No, I don’t understand it either. The Mulberry doesn’t have
enough pockets. It’s a sod to get cards into (and out of at times). It’s a red
which doesn’t have quite enough blue
in it. And it’s so shiny.
And every single time I have moved out and said, “I’m sorry.
It’s you, not me. I just don’t love
you enough…” it casts a spell on me and within moments I am saying, “Oh, no.
You misunderstood me. Let me move back in immediately? Please?”
So, for the time being (at least), it would seem that I’m
sticking with Red! The wine Holborn has joined the massive filofax party in the
bottom sodding drawer of the bureau! (see this post for where that line comes
from!!)
Yay!!
ReplyDeleteThe bottom drawer will be partying tonight.
HUGE party down there!!

The more conventional easy letdown goes "It's not you, it's me". LoL.
ReplyDeleteThat said, the Mulberry is a sweet binder, and this has been a great series of posts - thank you!
@Gerard
DeleteOh, I know! ;-)
The Mulberry is lovely. Thanks for the kind words!
I can't understand all the fuss about the Holborn (or indeed quite a lot of the binders apart from the Osterley and the Chameleon - not that I am biased at all ....) But there is nothing, nothing at all quite so divine as a Mulberry. Should you decide to consign your Mulberry to the soddy filofax party in the bottom drawer of the bureau do please consider letting me adopt it.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year & I'm glad you've made your decision (for now) :) I think the wine Holborn is lovely but Red is stunning. I hope the filofax party had fun celebrating the new year too.
