    FiloFax/Personal Organiser

    My missus is crap, to the point that shes actually got some paper filofax/personal organiser type things on the watch list on ebay..

    Now me being me I wanna get her a PDA of some sort, something that'll plug into the PC and sync with outlook so whatever it is shes planning she can invite herself and me too so my calendar and hers on the PC all match whats on her PDA..

    Something cheap, cheerful and easy to use would be nice.
    I've got a Dell x51v but I dont really want her breaking my stuff...

    What about a smartphone, they are getting free on loads of contracts, or CEX do some cheap 2nd hand ones. If its resonable compact she will always be carrying it, rather than having another device. I use a winmobile based one, but thats purely for certain apps, think other types sync easilly with outlook now.

    She did mention that o2 thing but what she seems to forget is shes crap with her phone, its either on silent, hence she cant find where she put it down, or the batterys dead because shes not charged it, has put it down and cant find it...

    MMmmm maybe a giant luminous filofax is the way to go....

    Blackberry and Google Calendar

    Me and the other half use Google Calendar to organise everything, as it goes pretty much anywhere with me and also syncs to me bb. He can see my changes in realtime, and vice versa.

    I also have a paper diary from WHsmith that also goes pretty much everywhere, has all my finances in it and is good for quick jotting and to-to lists... esp when i'm fed up of technology for the day.
