Filofax pros and cons: my A5 collection

After now purchasing another three filofaxes in the last month, I thought it was more than high time to take stock.  So, here we go - a pros and cons (and uses) of all my filofaxes/binders.

First up: A5

Type	Pros	Cons	Current use/location	Selling?
Red Finchley	Gorgeous leather; fabulous colour	Bit too squishy – feels like the smallest thing might damage it	It was my book-o-fax, but I outgrew it and now it’s holding spare paper etc. Bottom drawer of my desk	No
Jade Finchley	Gorgeous leather (though a waxier feel than the red one); interesting colour	Bit too squishy. Colour interesting rather than gorgeous	Holding my filopal letters and paper etc. On the bookcase next to my desk	No
Red domino (1)	Great colour; sturdy cover; cheap; 30 mm rings	Non-leather; weird smell when new	Book-o-fax volume 1 On the bookcase next to my desk	No
Red domino (2)	“”	“”	Book-o-fax volume 2 On the bookcase next to my desk	No
Red domino (3)	“”	“”	Writing filofax (holding notes about publishers and agents and ideas for things to write) On the bookcase next to my desk	No
Ultraviolet domino (1)	“”	“”	Book-planning filofax On the bookcase next to my desk	No
Ultraviolet domino (2)	“”	“”	“Me” filofax – holding notes and life-coaching stuff On the bookcase next to my desk	No
Mulberry ‘Big Indie’	Gorgeous leather; beaten up look; sexy as hell	Um, none. I’m in love	Currently holding a print-out of a book I’m halfway through writing It’s also on the bookcase next to my desk	Ha ha ha ha ha No
Mulberry ‘crocodile tummy’	It’s a Mulberry	It’s not in great condition and the leather is an interesting rather than beautiful colour	It’s my work binder – stays at work; holds my work diary and notes	No

Eek. I hadn’t really thought about the fact that I have seven A5 filofaxes and two A5 Mulberry binders. But at least they are almost all in use!

Which is more than can be said for the personal size binders... walk of shame coming next!
