I have a guilty secret!

There I’ve said it!!

My family all know it and laugh at me behind my back but I have to admit it here and get it off my chest........

I am obsessed with stationery. Every project, trip or holiday has to have a new folder, and the minute we even start thinking about booking a cruise it has to have its own notebook too! Bright, maybe in fuchsia or aqua, the folder will fill with everything I need to know about our plans.

Tickets, bookings, printouts, articles ripped out of magazines, insurance documents, luggage tags go in a FOLDER!

Itinerary, packing list, plans, scribbled notes of recommendations from friends, budget calculations, phone numbers, Idiots guide to local currencies ( I drive my husband mad - "knock off two zeros and divide in two and add a bit" . He just remembers the exchange rate and uses it but I really really can't!) used to go into a NOTEBOOK but nowadays of course they are popped into a CRUISE PLANNER!

The folder eventually gets tidied up, it’s contents filed away or used but my little notebooks stay with me - tucked away in my bedside cabinet like a guilty secret.

When the cruise is over they always be a lasting reminder of everything we did, I couldn't bear to part with them, just looking at my little notebooks makes me happy!

Comment below, are you a notebook and Cruise Planner addict too?
