YOURS
Poco Profile users are passionate, thoughtful people and they have good ideas which we gratefully receive. Sometimes it is hard to see the obvious when you're up to your neck in it. So suggestions for new things and improvements to old often get incorporated into production. At times some great ideas just can't be put into play because of lack of resources - they go into the "future". So if you don't find your idea being made please don't feel hurt. By the way, we usually reply to all suggestions and comments.

re HOLIDAY and EVENTS listing
All research is done by Poco Profile - if you want to check a particular date or find out more information please feel free to call. If you have any suggestions for inclusion please send them in. No money is accepted for inclusion and the criteria is that it not be too regional. So as to not take up too much diary space we usually only include national or main events. If they don't seem to fit that category it's probably because I just liked the sound of it at the time! The events appear in the two main diaries (Week to a View and Day to a Page) only - you'd have no space to use if they were put in the others!

OURS
Saftey First! Make copies of all important information. A quick way is to make photocopies - 3 per A4 or 6 at reduction A3 to A4

This goes with that. Colour code your addresses - one colour for work another for non-work.

File anything your heart desires! Think of your A-Z index as not just an address book - file anything! Birthdays under B; restaurants under R; dress pattern meterage under S (for sewing!); Cinemas under C.

Do it in the middle. #1 If your binder is very full (a personality trait..!?) and if you want to add or subtract something it's easier if you close your binder from the middle. So when you've finished putting in or taking out pages pick up about half the contents - taking them off the rings. Knock them down along the hole edge - trying to keep the holes in line. Then put them on the empty side and close from the middle. Now it sounds strange, but it helps to remember that you are putting them onto curved rings. This trick is worth the effort as trying to put everything on one side is not a pleasant task.

Do it in the middle. #2 Put the part(s) you write on the most into the middle of your binder - this minimises the amount of ring you have to get your had around when writing. Intersperse UNDATED Day to a Page with DATED Day to a Page to give yourself a big Day to 2 Pages (Basically) DATED Diary.

And, Safely Safely, when opening the clip, ALWAYS use the trigger things at each end. Or else the rings will stop meeting in the middle. Push down on the triggers. To close use two hands on two of the rings, preferably one from each group of three.
