thisbugslife.com 2020-04-29 07:59 My organiser last week My calendar is never neat, never pretty, the layout never changes, but it works so well for me. As you can see, I use whatever pen I can find and make highlighter stripes that only I can understand. The pink and blue...
thisbugslife.com 2020-03-16 07:37 My hectic months – update! I wrote a while back that I had a pretty hectic schedule coming up. We are somewhat through some of it but with the busiest time yet to come. Our weekend trip to Dublin went pretty well. For that one I just had a list...

thisbugslife.com 2020-01-06 07:29 Flying Tiger ring organisers I saw these ring binders in Flying Tiger the other day. I am usually a fan of their cheap and cheerful binders because they have nice inserts and can be used for projects, recipes, travelling and archiving, or to test...
thisbugslife.com 2019-11-19 08:27 Not often my planner looks pretty! Somehow it ended up with little pretties in it! Good thing too, because this is what a recent week looked like. Only I can understand the scribbles. The best part was the facial on Monday 7th, though it also involved...

thisbugslife.com 2019-09-24 08:37 Setup of Louis Vuitton MM agenda I have received some requests to share the setup of my Louis Vuitton MM agenda. My setup must seem very boring and basic to some, but it is what works for me. I have had the same basic setup for decades! I use my...
thisbugslife.com 2019-09-14 16:46 Louis Vuitton 2020 inserts for MM agenda I do wish these had had gilt edges, but maybe the yellow edges will grow on me. The designs on the monthly dividers are gorgeous, though I wish they were all in the same style. I love the stickers! The paper is nice and...
thisbugslife.com 2019-09-14 08:25 Louis Vuitton agenda and refills Yesterday I had some time to spare so I went to the Louis Vuitton store in Stockholm as soon as it opened to look at their 2020 agenda refills. It is years since I have been in a Louis Vuitton shop and I have to admit...

thisbugslife.com 2019-09-02 08:25 At Flying Tiger this week Flying Tiger has a very fast turnover of products and different stores have different selections, so I like to pop in whenever I pass one. This is what was on offer yesterday. Flying Tiger is very ‘cheap and...
thisbugslife.com 2019-09-01 16:27 Brown Filofax Burlington in personal size I am so thrilled with this find, which happened yesterday. I am a teacher, so my term bookings go from August one year to July the following year. I was looking for inserts for the 2019/2020 academic year so that I can...
thisbugslife.com 2019-07-03 08:30 Planning, 2019 version This has been a really interesting planning half-year. I am not sure I have ever had one quite like it. Sweden had an election in September 2018 and, like many other European countries (Netherlands, Italy, Belgium,...
