Sunday 07/09/08. 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

I am supposed to be doing a carboot sale today, but it's pouring with rain!! Have phoned the people running it to see if it's still on but they don't man the phones until after 9. Not sure if I want it to be cancelled or not

If it's not on, I shall do daily domestics, not going out in this rain so won't spend any money

Hi everyone

Today I will be staying at home and definately not spending any money at all, it's far to cold to go out.

I will be watching the GP at 1pm, the perfect Sunday afternoon. I'm busy making some lovely vegetable soup in the SC and drawing up a new meal plan for next week. My lunch will be from the storecupboard and some lovely GF and WF rolls I baked yesterday.

I've already done my online banking and updated my spendingdiary and my budget today. So will be relaxing and catching up on MSE.

Have a great day everyone.
Cheers
Casper
