I went shopping at lunchtime today (with my credit card you realise, I have no funds to my name right now) and was lured into WHSmith by my colleague. This is dangerous territory for us as we like greeting cards. Sometimes when I shop I see things and don’t buy them, only to put them off and buy them on another occasion, which is exactly what has happened today. I picked up a diary. Having visited WHSmith earlier this week and spotting the new diaries in store and sensibly stepping away, I found myself armed with my colleague’s 20% off voucher, my credit card and heading to the cash desk because I wanted this diary.

Not just any diary. The 2012 Masterplan for World Domination. Ok so maybe some people think that having a ‘hardcopy’ diary is unnecessary in the digital era but I still like to have one. And this isn’t really a diary, it’s a guide through the year, with some dates being taken over by ‘snuggle-up day’ (March 7th), ‘strange make up day’ (July 7th), ‘no pants day’ (May 11th), ‘do something you’ve never done before day’ (October 17th)…these are just a few. I’m really excited about going through 2012 with it! Each month has a colourful manifesto, I’d list one but I think you should invest and find this out for yourself… If you do, you like I will have ‘a twinkly glint of genius in your eye’ and a ‘very special steely resolve to seriously rock life’. Yep that is definitely me. I’ve tweeted something else that it says too…

It’s from the same people that create other fun items here: http://www.reallygood.uk.com/ (I own none and have only really just been made aware), so if you’re into your quirky stationery and greeting cards, this is right up your street. Roll on January 2012…
