I can’t and won’t apologise for being a planner geek, I have always been this way.
Stationery has always brightened my days. For as long as I can remember I have been unable to resist a pretty notepad and beautiful pens. I remember every Christmas I used to get a diary and address book set as a gift. It was usually red velvet. All kids of the 70s had one of those right? Gosh I would have had a fit of excitement if I had seen a Pirongs Planner back then.
I have always kept a diary and ALWAYS needed a planner. I am one of those people who love arranging, so much so, I can arrange 3 events at the same time on any one day. It’s not that I don’t care, it’s that I want to do it all, get giddy then forget what I have booked.
Chris is constantly bailing me out and reshuffling diaries to keep everyone happy. The problem is I am rubbish with an online diary, I put stuff in it, but I never look at it. And if a diary alert comes up, I swipe it!
This year with the intention of getting myself organised, I bought a beautiful planner. Really, it was so pretty. But I never thought it through, not properly. You see, it gave me a whole inch square to plan each day of my life. Totally unpractical, so I used post-it notes and planned in my head. As a result I am all over the place. With post it notes everywhere!
So when I got the chance to make my very own unique planner I jumped at the chance.
I know what and where I need to plan; I just needed the place to do it all. Pirongs planners let me do just that. The planners are totally unique, you can personalise nearly every aspect of your planner to suit you life, work and hobbies. There are blogging pages, teachers, gardening, wedding planning. There is so much to choose from, to make the planner fit your life.
I have made a little vlog to show you the planner, because in all honestly you need to see it to believe it. It’s so cool and very practical. And if you do love it as much as I do, then I am hosting a little giveaway for one reader to get a unique code to build their very own Pirongs Planner. Just enter the rafflecopter below to be in with a chance of winning and good luck. And if you just cant wait here is a discount code, just enter (EC15) at the checkout to receive a 15% discount.

Love planning and lists, makes me feel organised even on those chaotic days
I don’t organise my life – that’s the problem. Couple that with my penchant for doing everything last minute and you get an idea of the chaos. Unfortunately my partner is the same.

I book meeting my friends as an appointment as this makes it easier and I need a planner to sort out all the other things I tend to forget – shopping, appointments, things I would like to do….
I’m hoping to start a new college course soon when not at work so it would be great to keep me organised
