I bought Mindfulness and Meditation, with uplifting monthly quotes.

What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside."

My cousin always buys me a Countryfile one and it's lovely seeing the brilliant pictures each month - lifts my spirits to look at them.

Just received two " memo boards with to-do lists " included, attached to calendars, one is for D. Brilliant, easy to see numbers and a wipe-clean writing board.

None this year as I had two given to me.

Had to order from Amazon this year, 2 slimline calendars one Jack Russell and one Winnie the Pooh.
A huge box arrived, it couldn't possibly be the calendars, but it was , with plastic padding inside.
The mind boggles.

I don’t buy one anymore. I just use the calendar on my phone

I normally buy a family planner from Card Factory but this year haven't been out yet as only got out of hospital on Christmas Eve and our shopping centre is closed. Last year nothing entered since October, so have just scribbled reminders for specific days (clinic appointments etc) and will make proper diary notes now we're into January until I can get a planner for this year.

I don't buy one but last year I was given one, its stuck at April. I don't like them my phone will remind me of important dates and I do have a desk diary as I'm hoping to get to work sometime

I always buy my Christmas cards and calendar from the RNLI shop while on my September holiday. This year I ordered them online. My calendar is his and hers with a cartoon at the top of each month.

Sarah Raven's Gardening and cooking calendar, a gift from DS and DiL The pictures are beautiful and dates have plenty of space to put in much looked forward to dates.

Cliff Richard every year.

I bought a cheap Cat calendar and then we got the Countryfile one for a Christmas present. That is very nice

My son and daughter in law got me one with different photos for each month of our holiday to Florida with them , it’s special to us

I have a free one from our local tyre servicing place. However every year i buy one through Snapfish or Bonus print. I love seeing pics from the previous year -grandchildren/holidays etc. I try and put an apt pic for each month.

A free one with the Sainsbury's magazine that DS bought for me. Need to transfer birthdays etc. It has nice recipes on it.

Elvis58 Fri 01-Jan-21 15:21:30

A local charity one. I love, under normal circumstances filling in birthdays, gatherings,shows and holidays all the things you look forward too!

Petalpop Fri 01-Jan-21 15:15:52

I always buy a Christmas edition magazine that is giving one away free. Double whammy - I can waste half an hour enjoying a cuppa coffee reading a mag I cannot justify buying at any other time and get a calendar to put on the wall which I forget to look at anyway.

My younger daughter makes us a calendar each year with photos from the year before of family. I love them and I keep them after as it's great to have really good physical photos rather than the masses I have on my phone.

Diary-wise, I like the Collins academic year ones and buy those in July. The current one is rather lacking in entries!

Can’t be doing without my Spurs picture calendar hanging in my kitchen! grin

cupcake1 Fri 01-Jan-21 14:47:44

National Geographic Elephants calendar. My DD bought me one as she knows I love them but I had already bought one of the same so I’ve now got one in the kitchen and one in the office!

Tallyann1 Fri 01-Jan-21 14:04:19

We got sent one from our friends on orkney so it’s got lovely photos.. a lovely reminder of our years there❤️

I picked up a cheap one a couple of weeks ago and have only just looked at it.

Now hung inside a cupboard door as it is a rather twee "think happy thoughts" one.

grandtanteJE65 Fri 01-Jan-21 13:45:58

We haven't received any free ones for the first time ever this year, so I bought one with photos of cats for my own room, and a calender without photos but with extra large print for writing appointments in (remember those?) which will go in the kitchen.
