Describe your Calendar!

My desk calendar is from a Chinese restaurant in East Kilbride called The Oriental. It is red with two carp embossed on it and you rip the months off at the bottom.

I have two calendars at home, the one in my kitchen is views of Scotland. Januarys picture was Loch Arklet. Being a pair of keen Scotiaphiles, Mr Pumpkin and I decided to play the 'Calendar Game' and each month visit the location depicted. We started keenly and managed to take some great snaps of the exact spot shown on our calendar. Needless to say our plans fizzled out after that first month (we had no time to visit Glamis Castle in February)

The calendar in my hall is Fuerteventura. I bought this calendar by accident in August. It was sitting amongst the 2006 ones so I'm only getting 5 months use from it.

Tell me about your calendars!

I use Outlook at work. I can make it go BLING! at me to remind me of the bajillion and one things Im having to do in this crap job.

Its the only good thing about Outlook really.

What, are calendars falling out of fashion? I LOVE my old fashioned wall calendars.

― Rumpie, Wednesday, 12 October 2005 06:39 (twenty years ago)

It's much easier to use iCAL because I can get alerts (even email alerts) and don't need to type "send wages" a million times.

I occasionally use my Outlook calendar but not very often. I like a hard copy.

Oh I have paper calendars and even a filofaxy type thing. But theyre hopless for me! I never ever look at them, thus defeating their porpoise.

A thingy on my PC that gets in my grill and goes PAY THIS BILL YOU DORK is what I need cuz I am a moran.

Exactly. Also, my iCAL can be downloaded to any comp (who is subscribed to my Apple account). So I always have a back-up. HURRAH.

Don't you like a new pretty picture every month?

Or the tradition of hanging up your new calendars at new year?

Am I hopelessly old fashioned?

― Rumpie, Wednesday, 12 October 2005 07:36 (twenty years ago)

Uh no. :-)

My mum still uses hangy uppy calendars tho :) She notes birthdays and used to have cryptic code on them like "P" on a day (I learnt this meant "period due" when I was a teen), and various thigns like "get tracy from airport 5.50 flight 266" and such, in the little squares.

every year i buy a propery diary with all sorts of good intentions of to-do lists and study plans. every year i use it for about two months and then gradually forget about it - i usually throw them out in about june. it's like an annual ritual. i'm pretty good at remembering commitments and deadlines and meetings and such anyway.

I note everything I eat of a day into my diary - it's the easiest way of remembering what I done that day.

15th June - Barbecue chicken, haggis sausages, bottle of Magners, McDonalds? Takes me RIGHT back to the place.

It's also handy for my erratic diets, every month I weigh myself and note it at the back of the diary. I can then refer back to when I was at my lightest and see what was eaten then.

(It's not as regimented as it sounds btw)

i think if i did that with the food it would be a fairly demoralising reminder of how terminally dull my life is

Mine's the 2005 version of this :
