Tuesday 2/09/08 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
• Swim and jacuzzi to use gym membership hopefully.

Morning peeps:D Surprise surprise it's raining again:o , hope it's nicer where you are.
Quiet day in the office ahead, lots of paperwork to catch up on,and filing to sort out - really exciting stuff:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Have a good day everyone, hi to all the regulars:hello: :hello: :hello: and welcome to any newbies posting:wave: :wave: :wave:. Catch up with you all later.

and yesterday I walked to work

So today I have/will

• packed lunch with hm bread
• charge phone at work
• do piggy clicks
• keep looking for Mystery Shops, I have one for Weds but that's all.
• list a couple of things on e-bay, and post out 7 items that one person bought (though he's requested "sturdy non-bending water-proof package & a receipt" :eek: ) Water-proof? must be in the UK.
• help DD organise her Boot Fair on Sunday
• Do an on-line shop with my £10 voucher. But will I get 5p off a litre with a home delivery?
