Ready for 2020

I am usually well organised about buying a new calendar, but this year it took a bit longer to find the right one. A few years ago I paid £1 for a simple calendar with squares on to write stuff. I like the landscape format because it sits on the desk in front of me, it's handy to have it next to the phone and computer. 

Slowly, year on year the price kept increasing, well you expect that don't you. An extra 20p or so, ok, I'll have it because it's the style I want. I went to The Works, a stationary and book shop, and was surprised to see that my usual calendar was now £2. Bit steep I thought, so I walked out. 

Across the road is Poundland, there must be one in there. The rack is close to the front door so I didn't have to walk around the whole shop looking for one. I spotted this one. The front cover is very colourful, not that that matters, it's how it's laid out inside which is important. I turned it over and checked the back. There are twelve pictures, and each month has the normal squares I want. I can have it open on my desk for the current month. 

I removed the front and back cover, the pages are stapled together. Then I chopped off the two months at the bottom with the guillotine, don't need them. Perfect. I've got exactly what I want, for £1.

All ready to go, I'll make the first entry, the workshop I have booked. There is room to log my walking miles, and anything else I need to remember.
