      Bright and brilliant

      I have been using (and loving) these diaries for years; my husband buys me one every year (at my request, not because he thinks I’m disorganised, honestly 😉) and I’m not sure how I’d function without them now. The arrival of a new diary is always a highlight - he chooses the colour so it’s a surprise, the only stipulation being that it has to be different to the current year so I can easily identify which is which at the ‘transition’ stage. Fortunately, there are lots of great colours to choose from. Bright yellow is the choice for 2024/25, so I won’t lose it in my bag…

      I’ve found that as our children get older and make their own plans, the grid system helps me keep an eye on things so that we don’t have clashing events, and everyone gets to where they’re supposed to be without too much stress. The extra columns (we only have two kids to keep track of) give more flexibility to record things we need to be aware of but aren’t necessarily required to attend, or wider family events that could impact things we’re trying to arrange.

      The paper quality is great too - I use fountain pens as my handwriting is terrible with ballpoints, and the ink doesn’t bleed or fade.

      A brilliant idea which helps me keep all the plates spinning - definitely 10/10

      The best diary around

      It’s my third year of using these diaries and they are the best! I use the left hand page for my personal items and meal planning then each of the columns for my husband and 2 boys plus the dogs and also birthday! Plenty of room and easy to use! 🌟

      Excellent Family Diary

      I'm so glad I discovered this diary. For more than 25 years previously when my children were growing up I used a 'grid family calendar' but the diary is far superior. This will be my 5th and I love the fact that each year it's the same style of layout, so easy to navigate and organise, when transitioning from old to new. I use the 'our plans' section for recording the many family and friends birthdays, easy to copy to the next diary, and I don't miss any!!! Now I'm 'retired', looking after the young grandchildren and 'taxi service' for the teenagers, it's their activities that fill the pages - you're never too old to need a Big Family Diary.

      Superb organisational tool!

      I have used this diary for over 8 years and it is key to getting our family life running smoothly. We both work full time and have 3 boys, over 2 schools with busy sporting social lives. The columns mean I can have each child listed and dinner planned. I have recommended this diary to many friends as it really does have a positive impact on family life.

      The best diary ever

      I've been using this diary for 10 years and it's just essential to keep the show on the road in our house. 2 full time working parents, 2 teenage kids with activities galore, grown ups hobbies to fit in, life admin, holiday organising, you name it. It's the best money I spend and I highly recommend it.
