Woohoo!!! I have now got the wonderful pocket Ochre Malden from Lady Tammlyn - thank you!!! It was waiting for me to get to the UK and I haven’t been able to blog about it until now. I am still deciding what set-up I want and whether to separate my work stuff from my personal stuff. I have loved having all my stuff in one place (and I know it’s the sensible option), but if I don’t need to carry it round with me all the time, then is it really the best option for me…?
However, I came across two problems when I thought about this new baby:
i) I don’t have any pocket inserts at home as I gave them all away, so need to get a value pack of the standard ruled paper
ii) The ‘reason’ for purchasing this little beauty was so that I could put my iPod in the secretarial pocket at the back – it wasn’t until I put it in there and it fell out that I recalled that Steve’s post showed it being used for an iPhone, not an iPod – doh!!!

| Doh!!! It's not an iPhone - muppet!!! |
So, here we are in Karlsruhe after the Grand Prix and I mention to Ben that my iPod doesn’t stay in the pocket of my Malden – his response “Buy a cover for it, it should fit then” - how did he get so smart (or should that be – why am I such a muppet…?).
Today was shopping day, and as we were walking through the shopping centre I spied Thalia (which also has a store near us that stocks Filofaxes), so I thought I would pop in and check out there offerings. Ben spotted the Filo stand as soon as we got through the door (he is getting good) and there they had a good selection of filos (although rather scratched) and to my surprise they also had the value packs of pocket sized paper available in lined or quadrille at 5.50 Euro, not a bad price – so obviously I got both.
I am looking forward to brightening some of these up with stickers and washi tape once I have decided exactly what I want my filos to do for me.
We then went into Media Markt to check out the iPod covers and as I couldn’t find anything special I went for a reasonably stylish black one with some rubbery bits to help it stay in the pocket of the Malden.

I'm in a pocket Malden for the summer. How are you finding it? I'm not sure I could move so small permanently.
ReplyDeleteI haven't moved into it yet... waiting to feel brave (and decide what I want to put in it)... once I'm in it I'll let you know :o)
DeleteLove your Malden Family, I have my very first Malden on its way to me, A5 Ochre, cant wait :)
ReplyDeleteA5 Ochre is gorgeous, I got mine for my birthday - you will ove it :o)
DeleteNice family portrait!
ReplyDeleteOh that is so cute. I only ever had one pocket filo and i sold it within days as it was far too small but now I am looking at my ipod touch in its rather old and boring black case and wondering about a pocket just to lst podcasts and audible books etc. have you got a way to add the headphones to the filofax?
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about that part yet as I am utterly rubbish and usually forget to take my iPod and headphones with me anywhere (I can't use the in the ear type ones, so mine are pretty bulky). I will be happy just to get into the habit of using my iPod (especially as the other half, who bought it for me for Christmas, said he would buy me a new album for it every month - if I start using it I can put in my backdated claim). If I do think of a way of adding the headphones I will definitely write a post, but I can't see me thinking of anything that clever. :o)
Deletelove your collection! have a malden range myself; A5 vintage pink, personal vintage pink, pocket vintage pink and A5 in grey! Gotta love 'm all! :) Good luck with your latest familiymember!
ReplyDeleteOoh - now I'm thinking about the vintage pink... Maldens are gorgeous - fat and gorgeous!!! :o)
