Title: Making a 2013 diary
Post by: cambourne7 on November 03, 2012, 18:50:30
Hi All,

I have the ability this year to print a A5 diary and bind it and want to pop in some information about what to do in the garden and what to grow.

Does anyone else do this.

Any suggestions??

Was thinking of a week per page :)

Cam

Both brilliant thanks :)
I have tried a few methods for building this (MS word, Publisher etc) and in the end i am going back to excel and i have set the page side to A5 and am now building the template so each page is just 7 days and it has space for appointments and some planning for meals/shopping lists as well as what to do in the house/garden. All the boring stuff like when i need to get the boiler serviced, what week to put out the black sacks and what the recycling.
Defiantly going to have some info bits at the back plan of the garden with outlines of the spaces i still need to plan up as well as a highlight each month showing the month ahead and what i have to come. Might also look to add a few laminated pages for keeping track of whats in the freezer :)
Suspect other people might find it useful so might stick it in a dropbox somewhere if anyone wants a copy :)
