Filofax pros and cons: personal size

In my last post, I summarised the main pros and cons of my A5 sized binders and what they are used for. Although they total nine (eek. Really??) they are all (bar one) in use. The same cannot be said about the collection of personal size filofaxes (and two Mulberries) I have. Here we go (take a deep breath!):

Type	Pros	Cons	Current use/location	Selling?
Pink Baroque	Gorgeous colour; lies flat-as-a-bat; excellent layout; squishy leather	None	Bottom drawer of my desk, as I can only use one carry-around at once	Ha ha ha ha ha No
Teal/turquoise Baroque	Gorgeous colour; lies flat-as-a-bat; excellent layout; squishy leather	None	My current carry-around	Ha ha ha ha ha No
Green Portland	Excellent quality; great colour; good interior layout; lies flat-as-a-bat; soft leather	Could do with one more pocket inside	Chimwemwe filofax Lives in the bookcase next to my desk	No
Navy Portland	Excellent quality; great colour; good interior layout; lies flat-as-a-bat; soft leather	Could do with one more pocket inside; the zipper cover is easily bent	Goal-planning filofax plus other household stuff	No
Brown Holborn	Rich colour; zillions of pockets; good layout; lots of card slots; lies flat-as-a-bat	Not a bright enough colour for me; some of the pockets are not all that useful	It’s in the drawer of my desk, unused	Probably
Wine Holborn	Rich colour; zillions of pockets; good layout; lots of card slots; lies flat-as-a-bat	Some of the pockets are not all that useful; the colour isn’t quite bright or classical enough for me	It’s in the drawer of my desk, unused	Probably
Black Cavendish	Great card-slots; 30 mm rings; good quality; lies flat-as-a-bat	It’s black and I need more colour usually; fully loaded it weighs a tonne	It’s in the drawer of my desk, holding spare inserts	No (it’s a Cavendish; it has 30mm rings...)
“Red” A6 Mulberry in red patent leather	Great quality; fantastic colour; excellent page size (and easy to make inserts for)	The card slots are too stiff; Didn’t lie flat easily	It’s in the bottom drawer of my desk, singing siren songs to me	No (she would kill me first)
“Indie” A6 brown leather Mulberry	Great quality; sexy as hell; excellent page size (and easy to make inserts for); lies flat-as-a-bat	The card slots are a bit stiff	Malawi binder – holds diary and notes and so on for going to Malawi	Ha ha ha ha ha NO!

I did have a grape domino, but I gave that away. I will probably sell the two Holborns (anyone interested, give me a shout!) – they are lovely but they are not as lovely as either the Baroques or the Portlands so the chances of me using them again are zilch.

Next up, the pocket size binders and smaller. Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.
