Sunday 31/08/08 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 have/will:

• checked online banking
• clicks
• storecupboard meals
• made a loaf in breadmaker
• Picked veggies from garden:D
• filled up car at cheapest garage
• swim and jacuzzi to use gym membership

Have a good day everyone, off to gym in ten minutes to squeeze in a swim and jacuzzi, busy day ahead hospital visiting etc.Weather is very warm and sultry here but no sign of any actual sun

morning everyone
misty here after a gorgeous day yesterday!
Low key day planned packing and cleaning, so will try not to spend anything apart from our sunday chook and maybe white vinegar if we run out - going to try and clean the windows and bathroom old style!
I have sorted out 3 bags of eBay, freecycle stuff, but will check with friends and sister first if they want to raid - very hard to make any money off eBay with clothes, i've found
have a lovely sunday xx
