And in my head ive already wrote beautiful poetry, thoughtful musings, and drawn beautiful little pictures in in whilst chronicling (sp?) my fun packed and interesting (!!) days in it.

However truth be told, im too scared to mark it's beautiful pages with my boring scribbles about what we ate for tea that day and every day, which is sadly about as exciting as my life really gets.

Soooo... do you have one? Whatcha put in it?

I bought a nice(ish) journal to write down 'things' and recipes for the kids (I bought it after himself's head went bang - though it would be a nuisance if mine went bang and I couldn't remember how to feed the kids). Never got round to writing in it and then himself nicked it to write down job plans for his work.

Yes, its suede and the cover is floppy, as in not covered in suede, the suede IS the cover, so its really soft and squishy. That's what I mean, it really is a beautiful blank book, which I know im going to ruin, lol.

My sister bought me this which I think is hilarious, most days one word sums it up nicely. There are lists at the back if you get stuck but none of them seem to include the ones I'm most likely to use. :)

Amazingly, new year resolution aside, no. But the year my dear mother died I did. When I occasionally read it, everyday is brought back as though it was yesterday. The comfort it gave me when writing it was incalculable (as I realise only now). I could not tell another living soul what I was going through at the time, but to write it in my journal was a life-saver for me. I would love to think that no-one else would use such a journal for the same purpose as did I. For whatever (other) purpose i would recommend it.

I got a filofax for Xmas a couple of years ago but I hardly ever used it. Everything I need is on my mob and my work pc.

My life is too boring to journal and I'm a crap writer so no imaginative stories from me.

You could use it for cake recipes :o)

I have kept Journals at varying times in my life - usually high and low periods, when I felt no one would understand but the blank page.

The mundane is much harder to write about - you will find a use for it, if only occasional jottings, a caught image , pressed flower or the like - it is gorgeous.
