105 Uses for a Filo
I'm sure many of us have Filofaxes we love but no use for them... So here is a definitive list of ideas!

See - I knew I needed more Filofaxes :-) And I was already intending to get the Doodle when it comes out to do number 29 in. I have printed this list out so I can have a good read through and jot down notes later :-)
Great list! Thanks!
Brilliant list.
I have one use that's not on the list though.
I'm a potter and have my glaze recipes in my Filofax.
Always to hand and as I have my list of ingredients in there too I can quickly look up what ingredients I need to re order.
I use mine as a mini scrapbook (personal size) and once a month print out the photos that I took that month. I punch the holes and put them in with the day I took it. I hope my grandkids thank me some day. Oh yeah, and I also include things from the places I go like a paper place mat or printed menu from restaurants, cut out fronts from my favorite cereal boxes, nonsense like that....
