currently lusting after... colourful notebooks

At the moment, I'm really pining after colourful notebooks. Leuchtturm 1971 is one brand of colourful notebooks that I really like the look of, but are out of my budget at the moment but as luck would have it, I found a Pantone notebook in TK Maxx. It is the A6 size and is pink on the outside:


The pages inside are a lovely yellow colour with white ruled lines. The yellow looks like this (I modified the colouring slightly to try and reflect the true colour of the paper inside):


And inside, it looks like this:


The thought of having a shelf full of (filled!) colourful notebooks has me salivating. I also found an orange Pantone notebook with orange paper inside (orange is one of my favourite colours!) but it was a bit too battered to justify it's price tag unfortunately.

I have yet to try out the paper in this Pantone notebook as my intended use for it is when I go out to GP or hospital visits in the first year of my course, and if there is space, for use in my second year when clinical rotations start. Scary to think that clinicals start in a year and a half's time! It is the perfect size for this too. I don't have many notebooks in this size either so I might need to hope that TK Maxx receive another shipment of these so I can get a few for much less than the RRP.

Once my student loan comes in, I think it is quite obvious what my first purchase might be ;)

    1. When I went, there was only this one and the orange one I mentioned. I think these were all they had left so I was a bit late to the party too :( hope they get more of them in! x

  2. I've seen these in my local TK Maxx but had to physically haul my ass away from them as I need to use up most of my HUGE stash before I buy anything new!! They are real purdy though and as for Leuchtturm 1971...don't start me there! I want at least £100 worth of stuff! Must be strong and say no...for now anyway ;-)

    1. I wish my TK Maxx had more of these! I love the colours and can only imagine how great they will look on my bookshelf ;) I love the Leuchtturm 1971 notebooks too but I can't afford the extortionate prices their notebooks are. Maybe if they ever appear in my local TK Maxx then I may purchase (more than) a few ;) x
