Monday18/08/08 What small dfw things have you done today???

sophiesmum_2

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.

Examples could be charging your phone up at work instead of at home to save your electricity, 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.

Today I will:

• update spreadsheets
• check online banking
• do clicks
• Make a loaf in breadmaker
• Storecupboard lunch
• Swim and jacuzzi to use gym membership
• Home grown veggies with tea

Good morning everyone, don't know what happened to the weekend went so quickly , back to work for everyone today. Hope you all have a good day whatever you are doing.

Hello!

I'm feeling very chirpy today. Another not very DFW day but I am at least more aware. Tonight I'll be seeing Alanis Morissette (I owe it to my teenage self... ). This is my first gig of any kind since starting on this journey. Back in the day I'd come back with the t-shirt, programe, mug.... you get the idea! So this will be different. May get a t-shirt but probably not.

Not sure about everything else today

-I brought lunch to work
-store cupboard dinner
-check bank (still skint)
-charge mobile at work

It was a good weekend all in. Had a bit of a hash out of some things that have been brewing for a while with OH but it was needed and we're much much better for it now. We never fight or argue so this "debate" was interesting...

I hope everyone is well.

KTjazz.
