Saturday 30/08/08 What small dfw things have you done today??

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 have:

• checked online banking
• clicks
• storecupboard meals
• made a loaf in breadmaker
• Picked veggies from garden:D
• Finished cleaning house with stardrops and microfibre cloths
• Had a no spend day:j

Not much of the day left to post on here but here it is just in case anyone is around:D

Enjoy the rest of the night everyone.

We've been laying new flooring today in our kitchen and entrance porch, so haven't done much.

Have;

checked PB
checked online banking
stores dinner and supper
3 x 30 degree wash and line dry;)
Used up a heap of loose change in my purse today to save breaking another note, (something that wouldn't have happened before:o ).

I am about ready for my bed now, planning batching cooking and baking tomorrow though.:A

Thank goodness the website is up and running - god I've missed it.

Today I have gone food shopping, there were loads of bargains in Sainsburys.

And dried my clothes in the garden (rare thing in the garden.....I think it is called SUNSHINE :j:j:j:j:j)

Think that is about it.

Take care everyone, and will post again tomorrow

Take care

Not much for me - cycled to the gym as opposed to driving and that's been about it!

Today I have checked my online banking and activated my new account.
Worked out what payments I am going to make from my money due Mon
Did a Sainsburys shop - only £45 for me and OH with meal planning. I know it may sound a lot to others but we usually spend over £100 and all on rubbish!

Not a huge amount today I'm afraid!

I was given lots of cooking apples, so went blackberry picking and have cooked masses of blackberry and apples, will make a crumble tomorrow and freeze the rest

Have done plenty of washing and dried it outside and done some weeding

..and bought some decent wine that was half price, trying to feel sorry, but failing it is lovely....
