Sat & sun what small dfw are you doing

When we start out on the DFW trail we do loads of "big stuff" that makes quite a difference to our situation. These include having our lightbulb moment, cutting up the credit cards and cancelling Sky and the gym.

But once we have done the bigger stuff, we often feel that we are not making the same amount of progress, when in fact the small steps are helping us form good financial habits and helping us get closer everyday to staying in control and becoming debt free, or staying debt free.

Examples could be hanging washing out instead of using the tumble dryer or leaving your purse/wallet at home to avoid the risk of spending.

So be proud of those small steps, they really are important!

Sorry for being AWOL I just feel as if I have nothing to say or contribute, am struggling to stay motivated, havent been straying too far from the DFW lifestyle.

Ooops! Sorry about the poor spelling:o in addition to the above I have sold 7 books on amazon for £13. About 10 items sold in fleabay, not made a fortune probably £25 after fees. Also listed 15 more

kjp · 15 July 2012 at 11:22AM

Morning all!

Feeling a tad delicate after last night but came in within budget so happy with that. Jonno - never tried selling on Amazon, is it easy?

Today I will:
Check banks
Check CCs
Check TCB
Check Ebay
Accept 'best offer' and package up Ebay item sold
Assemble shelving unit
Finish tidying bombsite
Start to update MS Money - sadly neglected

SB clicks
Look for little present for OH - our anniversary on Wed
NSD other than present maybe

Think that's it!

Have a great day all, the sun is really trying to shine down here!

Kxx[/QUOTE]

KJP I hadn't sold on amazon before last night but seemed straightforward enough. I used amazon trade so they give you a price there and then and you print a label (Freepost) and you get credit to your amazon account. I sold 7 books to see if it works. The benefit for me was that I wanted rid, not listed on a site that someone may bd on in 3 months if that makes sense. I'll let you know

Quiet day today after much broken sleep last night. But a NSD :j Took DD to park but was free

meals from stores. Quiet night in packing my fleabay sales up, may even list a few more as I seem to be on a roll - before I loose the will with it

Hope you all enjoy your evening

Sat & Sun 14th &15th what small dfw are you doing??
