Everything is going swimmingly. The synopsis is taking shape; I am finally saying goodbye to my tiny part time job so that I can concentrate on writing; my planners and goals are shaping up nicely and I am totally on track.
Then I read Plan.Create.Succeed For pity’s sake, that is just not playing by the rules. When somebody is on a restricted diet you don’t ply them with recipes for double cream baked New York Cheesecake. So don’t show a recovering journal addict a new idea for a journal. And if you really must do it, then choose a cheap binder. But an A5 Osterley? What do you think I am made of? Cast iron?
I love it, I love the layout, I love the idea of having all my journaling in one place. My lovely and very beautiful red Chameleon is not used for my writing notes because it is freestanding, I want it all together. Having said that I cannot give up my freestanding Gratitude Journal and Commonplace book, so perhaps I don’t really need an A5 plum Osterley journal. I certainly can’t afford one, but I do lust after one, just like Helen’s.
you are SUCH a notebook junkie!! Can I help with a New York cheesecake though?

I fear it may topple my dietary good intentions (summer bodies are earned in winter and all that). But bookmarked for when I fall off that particular wagon!
oh, and I won’t link it here, cos it will look spammy but the next post on from that cheesecake is a skinny low cal version just, it would seem, for you!
my summer body is definitely earned during the winter.. it is a bloated banker’s bonus…
Oh, Oh! I am SORRY!! That was very mean of me. I should have been more thoughtful. In my defence, I would not pay full wack for an Osterley either, I think the price is ridiculous so whether or not I could afford it becomes irrelevant. I got mine for £70 (RRP £195 I think) on adspot on Philofaxy. That does not make it better for you does it? Sorry again.
But think of this: save £2 a week and in a year you coud get one full price.
Later.. After thinking some and counting on my fingers a lot and wondering why I said it was a ridiculous price when it was only £2 a week…..ahem. £4 a week! I am proof living that a beautiful binder does not make you intelligent!
I have a wanted ad on adspot! A beautiful binder enables you to concentrate on the important things in life not maths!
