The last pair lasted 6 months before being left on a plane (I think). I will be interested to see how long these ones stick around...<BR/><BR/>Irene, it's retrospective of course, but isn't that partly why we blog?<BR/><BR/>Hi GPM - I have one of those wall calendars too (and you're so right about their all being naff!), but my problem is actually remembering to write stuff on it. At least I can put the diary in my handbag so I can take it with me - if I only had a wall calendar I would never remember anything, either to write on it, or what was on it in the first place!Potty Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751869800592294891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-2194787151058700822008-04-25T10:54:00.000+01:002008-04-25T10:54:00.000+01:00I'm so impressed that you manage to manage a diary...I'm so impressed that you manage to manage a diary. I gave up on that years ago. Perhaps it was when the children appeared, my brain went to mush and I couldn't remember to write anything in it, let alone take it with me or find it at critical moments. Now I rely on a calendar that is firmly anchored to the wall. We've had to graduate to one of those family things with a column for each person - and you can only get really naff ones like that. (Although there are probably very upmarket versions in K&C). <BR/><BR/>But even that isn't foolproof - I forgot a parents evening last week when we were supposed to see the music teacher. And I was the one who created a huge fuss about there being no parents evenings for the instrumental teachers. In fact, that was what started my blog in the first place.

Ha,ha, my life is a dull roar when it comes to appointments. Other things get real interesting, but they don't get written up in the diary. For all practical purposes, we seem to live a very dull life, but it ain't so. We just don't keep track of the dates.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-75077191438003257742008-04-24T22:59:00.000+01:002008-04-24T22:59:00.000+01:00OMG!

She ended up having to take the train, arriving at Heathrow near midnight, then having to stay at the Hilton till next morning.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-4908634419967229072008-04-24T10:55:00.000+01:002008-04-24T10:55:00.000+01:00Hi Mother's Place; write important numbers in my d...Hi Mother's Place; write important numbers in my diary? Are you mad? No, those get saved on my phone. And not backed up of course - because a phone is infinitely more losable than a diary...<BR/><BR/>Hi Tracey, normally the first place theory works, but for some reason this time it let me down. And we've had the remote crisis as well (well, of course we have with 2 small boys).

That theory works just about every time in this house.<BR/><BR/>Know all about the sludge brain... and it's that much worse that I'm starting to worry about early onset alzheimers or dementia or something. <BR/><BR/>Our youngest has "lost" our TV remote twice. Once we found it in an empty video box, and another time it had been put to 'bed' in between layers of tissues in a kleenex box (a cheapie one that didn't get used very much.)<BR/><BR/>If you think you were going demented with the diary, imagine the Daddy going spare because the remote was missing!Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906909599853950560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-20301576383498576412008-04-23T22:28:00.000+01:002008-04-23T22:28:00.000+01:00I can remember (just) when I had a diary that cont...I can remember (just) when I had a diary that contained important information.

Because sometimes, I swear I can forget what I went into a room for in the first place...<BR/><BR/>Aims, I'm so grateful to have it back that I don't care HOW it ended up there. A bit worrying, though, my reaction to losing it. I may have diary dependancy...<BR/><BR/>Pig, there is definitely a missed birthday party in your near future...(cosmic payback for having it all worked out so well)<BR/><BR/>EPM - tell me you're not still waiting?

I agree to tons of stuff in the playground, some of it filters thru to my calendar, lots doesn't. You then get the reputation for being a numbskull and people tell you things 20 times, and THAT's how you drift along from week to week. No frenzied hunting for me! Note my smug tone? that means something bad is going to happen to me...<BR/>PigxPig in the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631525119816074013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-89619426117322506712008-04-23T17:11:00.000+01:002008-04-23T17:11:00.000+01:00Very funny vid - thanks all around!So the kids tuc...Very funny vid - thanks all around!<BR/><BR/>So the kids tucked it away did they?

I have resorted to a notepad on the fridge - which has all the important events for the day (and my shopping list)on it - due to constantly misplacing my diary! Now I just have to remember to look at the list...Mom de Plumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763454082893724945noreply@blogger.com
