Wednesday 03/09/08. What small dfw things will you do today????

andan

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.

morning andan and everyone
:hello:
nice day today, going to start ignoring the weatherman :rolleyes:

So far...

• i have brought in breakfast and most of lunch so low spend day
• i have checked banking and updated for some spends last night :eek: new TV for flat as ours belongs to landlady and we don't have one and easyjet flights to belfast, all our friends are turning 30 this academic year so going to be expensive
• followed up missing piggy points from whitecompany order and now have £22, almost 2 x vouchers!
• sulked that i couldn't get cashback because i ordered the tv through amazon! and spent 3 hours shopping around so i know i got the best price and free delivery.

I will

• have a cheap dinner (will need to do that forever after this TV :rotfl: )

Andan, I exhausted just reading your post, how do you achieve so much?

I accidentally bought a bar of chocolate on the way to work, not a good start It probably cancels out the normal small things that I have done, such as

• checked my on-line banking and credit card
• bought in breakfast and lunch to work
• put on a 30 degree quick wash
• sorted out 4 items for ebay, photos today, listing tomorrow

I want to take another look at the matched betting, the understanding of it is tickling the outside areas of my brain, need to activate the rest of the brain :rotfl:
