Filofax Pennybridge

I used to own a Filofax Pennybridge but I sold it, as with most planners I sell I ended up regretting it! I sold my Pennybridge after I stopped using it as I bought a Zipped Malden, but I never liked the zip on the Malden and have since sold that too. Last week I started thinking about owning a Pennybridge again and using it as a wallet and financial planner and so off to the internet I trawled until I found a great priced new one. Two days later and it arrived!

I have spent the past two days setting it up and decided exactly what to use it for. 

My main planner is a Gillio Compagna. I have so much in my Gillio, most of which I don't need to carry about with me and so I am going to trial something I have not done before, using a satellite planner in my bag. I am also going to use my Pennybridge as my wallet as it is perfect for this.


Exactly the same colour as my previous Pennybridge, I added a charm on the zip pull from charms out of my HappieScrappie Planner Kit.


The wallet section of the Penynybridge is brilliant, with 14 card holders in total and space for cash and coins.


Lovely long zip pocket for cash.


After my dashboard I have a week on a page with notes by Just So Stationary.


This is a perfect layout for on the go planning. 


Then I have a section where I track my online purchases (inserts are by SewMuchCrafting on Etsy) and my Wish List (inserts are by Just So Stationary).

My next section is for bill tracking, savings and debt repayment, I haven't included a photo because all the inserts are written on.


My last section is where I track everything I spend money on (inserts are by SewMuchCrafting on Etsy). I have a top loading envelope to put receipts in until I have jotted them down and then they go in a binder at home.

I also a few pages of note paper just incase I need to write things down.


At the back of the planner is a large slip pocket which I am not sure how I am going to utilise yet!

I am going to use this for the rest of May and see how it goes and will follow up with another post about how it worked and if I am still using it in the same way!
