Earlier 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
Heya,
Thanks for doing that in your lunch hour! It’s exactly what I want and it looks great
Bree
Cheers very much – saves me doing it myself!
Pritch
great job saved me a lot of time thank you
Thanks for doing this, it was just what I was looking for!
Thanks a lot for that, going to be very useful this year! Exactly what I was looking for!
Cheers
you are a star u saved me time and money thank you
Many thanks, that’s great work. Very glad it comes up from a Google search! Looking forward to the 2007 version
excellent!
search came on on google, just what i needed.
Pity I didn’t find this before wasting half an hour looking for the exact same thing. Your a genious – well pretty damn close!
I spent hours looking for something like this. Exactly what I was looking for. I didnt need the all singing all dancing versions that track everything that were offered on the Web. Of course these were available for a premium price. Thanks again and I am looking forward to the 2007 and onward versions. Keep up the good work.
Looked everywhere and finally found it… you are a god!
I spent half an hour searching and was just about to create my own! I needed a year view in order to plan the 8 or so weeks the children not at school. All the others cost a fortune and could not be adapted. Many thanks.
Fantastic. Can’t believe that you’ve created exactly what I needed. Trying to buy one of these in mid-year is a nightmare. Great stuff. Thanks a million.
yours seems to be the only site that has an yearly planner;
thank you so much
EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you very much indeed.
Needed something to organise tasks at home. Brillant! Just what I need.
Been looking for ages for something like this, thanks!
Just made my day! Thanx
I have been searching for one of these for weeks so this is great!
Thanks again.
Sharianne
Thanks alot .. this planner made my life easier
It has been proven again: The best things in life are free.
Thanks David
Like the others, just what I wanted. Was about to make one myself but you have saved me the bother. Cheers!
Yum Yum, Pigs Bum!
Thanks a bunch for this…did the search just the same and came up with nothing…but now this!
WOW!
Brilliant,
Have looked many times for this. I’m pleased and surprised this showed up on a google search. Many thanks for your efforts. Is there any chance you can create a 2007 planner?
Since I bought my Mac I’ve been using iCal for this sort of stuff (although it still doesn’t have a year planner view), but it looks like demand is high enough for a 2007 version.
Briiliant!!!!!!!!! Been looking everywhere for this tx alot will save me alot of time
Thanks heaps, absolutely brilliant!! (I definitely think a 2007 planner would be great.)
This is great! Thank you so much! when will 2007 be ready? (lol)
Fantastic. When are you going to do a 2007?
Hehe, Since I bought my MacBook I’ve been pretty happy with iCal but as a 2007 version seems to be requested quite a bit I will do one. Watch this space…
Many thanks: Ive found your 2006 version invaluable!
Any chance of you doing a 2007 version?!
Many thanks!
Hi David.
Ditto all previous entries, many thanks for this invaluable resource. Whilst I agree Macs are a far superior machine, unfortunayely we are plagued by PCs – which seem to run all the ‘office’ tasks – & your calendar is ideal for this.
Roll on the 2007 please
On behalf of us all… many thanks in advance!
Like everyone else. I have wasted hours looking for something comparable to this at no cost Lotus notes used to have one. Invariably creating my own something or another and lo and behold. Google picked you up. Hurrah! You must do a 2007 and email all those who used it this time. I would have preferred slightly lighter colours, but that’s a minor point. Well done.

The 2006 planner was really useful – any news on one for 2007?
Thanks again.
Steve.
Thanks for all your comments… As suggested, I have created a set for 2007 now as well – Link in the original post. Enjoy!
Thank you.
The best thought out yearly planner on the net (not that there are that many). Good on you. Just what I was looking for. Google picked you up straightaway.
Should you think of doing 3 year to view calendars it would be great.
Clare
Dude you are the MAN!!!!
TY TY TY:-)
Thanks a lot for the 2007 planner
When are you making the 2008 – would be great so we could start planing next year in style!!!
Please do the 2008 ASAP! Thnaks
When will it be available?
Hiya just found this 19-11-2007, and it’s brilliant, I just need it in 2008 thanks
You are a star!!!
Ciao
