2006 Wall PlannerEarlier today I searched the internet for a 2006 wall planner – kind of like the Sasco wall planners that you see on office walls. I didn’t find what I was looking for, apart from a couple of sites wanting to sell me the real thing and a couple of dodgy looking JPGs, so I spent some time during my lunch hour creating one. It’s done in Microsoft Excel format and there are both horizontal and vertical versions. Feel free to download them using the following links.

2006 Horizontal Planner
2006 Vertical Planner

The holidays are official UK holidays taken from the DTI’s web site.

If you find these planners useful, please consider making a small donation


I’m not entirely sure about the colours or layout, so if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment and I will see what I can do.

Update: 19/10/2006 – Due to popular demand, I have created a set for 2007 as well

I was a very lucky boy this year… I must have been on Santa’s ‘nice’ list for sure! I got:

  • A PlayStation Portable (a Value pack & “Coded Arms” game)
  • A big wad of cash, which I used to buy PSP stuff (512Mb Memory stick, Burnout: Legends, Archer Mclean’s Mercury, Prince of Persia: Revelations and Lumines)
  • An excellent pocket tripod for my camera – Much better than the cheap Hama tripod I had. It’s a Kaiser pocket tripod 5005, which can be used as a clamp-on or table-top tripod. I’ll post a review and pictures another time.
  • Some really nice clothes
  • New boots
  • A couple of nice books
  • Lots of smelly stuff (shower gel, soap, deodorant) – Do you think people are trying to tell me something?!?
  • Lots of chocolate!
  • Lot’s of other smaller bits and pieces which are too numerous to list!

Today’s my first day back at work after Christmas. I have to say it’s a pretty slow day, but I guess that’s to be expected.

I’m proud to announce that I managed my new-years resolution of getting up and getting to work earlier today. I hope I manage to keep it up!
