Hubby's Filofax Ranger

Most of you may have already read this little post on Philofaxy, but I wanted to show you some pics to go with it.

My hubby is a truck driver and a few weeks ago while sorting his bag out for him, I noticed his driving license and digital tachocard along with his agency cards and site passes were stuffed into a worn envelope.....que....would a Filofax work for him?

So I looked among my little collection of 21 and found the Personal Ranger would be just perfect for him.

Filofax Ranger

Spent an hour or so putting inserts into it, adding address of all the various companies he worked for and using a double sided card holder for his driving licenses and digicards etc.

Lots of pockets for credit sized cards etc.  Behind the card holder on the left is another pocket which holds his Driving License counterpart.

I threw a handful of coins in the front zipped pocket for the coffee machines and presented it to hubby.

A zipped section for coins



Lots of room for Notes and Receipts

He LOVED it! He's a real man's man so I thought he might be a bit iffy carrying a Filofax, but now when he goes for job interviews or stops at truck stops, outcomes the Filofax cos it has everything in there he needs. He uses the Diary pages to write out what job he does, hours worked that day, where he has been and who he worked for. 

He has strict working time regulations so needs to keep an eye on things.

At the back behind the notebook is another pocket, in which he keeps a CV. so if he ever needs to fill an application form in while onsite, he's got all his past school/work history at hand.

Another pocket

                                                                         And yet another pocket.

He's said he's had a few positive comments on it too and because it's a Ranger, it looked rugged....a bit like him. lol

It just goes to show a Filofax can be used for anything!

I have always loved stationary since I was a little girl.  Ringbinders, pens, pencils, you name it I bought it!  As I got older, I still liked to use nice writing paper and buy classier style pens.  But in 2010 I got my first Filofax!  It was nothing flash, just an A5 Black Identity that cost around £25, but I loved it.  I loved the feel of it and stuffed it with everything I could think of.  It wasn't long before I bought another, then another... at one time I bought 3 in one week but I always managed to find a use for them.  I am now the proud owner of 21 Filofaxs, these days, only a few get used and the others sit safely on a shelf just waiting their turn.
