Masterplan or OTi diary?

[Pandora]

Has anyone had/used or seen either/both?

I need to decide which to get but it's hard without seeing them IRL

i have an oti one - this is my first year using one & i love it so far.

pro's:
post-it notes at the back are really handy
meal plan alongside each day & a space to note exercise
size - not too small but still fits in my bag

no cons so far.

I had the same dilemma, even started a thread about it! I ended up getting the MasterPlan

Reasons I love it:
Came with a babysitter notepad to fill in with kids details.
Came with a removable birthday book/adress book and a notepad that I'm using for shopping lists.
Has a section for meal planning.
Has five lines to keep track of different family members.
Also has a little section to use as a weekly To Do list.

But the OTi was also nice, think it might come with a pen too?

Ooh and now I've found the inner-b one. It looks like it is similar in function to the masterplan diary but you can get refills for it. Hmmm it's not as pretty though..

I can't decide. I found a couple of shops that stock the masterplan one though so will go look tomorrow

Milestonepress has the masterplan diary for 50% off for February!!

I just got the masterplan one from simply stated. I LOVE it too! I was sold when I saw it started in October.

These are diaries. Every year about this time we seem to inevitably have discussions on what we think the best diary would be to get, be it a masterplan, oti (which I think are new for this year), other "mummy" or family diary, a kikki.k, day or week to pages and the sizes, etc. Even down to the colour! And if you get a new beautiful pen too.

Google "masterplan diary" and "oti diary" (separately) and you'll come up with a whole lot of sellers and reviews and pictures of these diaries. As Cheezel Monster said, they have lots of different sections (even on each page) which help us busy Mummys to organise our family life.

Sad? Maybe for some, but it reminds you that that time of year is coming around again, and (I know I do at least) we try to be better prepared for the coming year. Having said all that, I have no idea what diary I'm getting!
