First month as a DFW

Hi
As this is my first month as a DFW i thought it would be good to set myself my first challenge!!!!
I am aiming to pay an extra £300 off my biggest and also highest interest rate credit card.
I have already shaved £18 off my sky bill by calling and changing my package.
Sold some cd's for £2 lol not much but it all adds up
Listed some books on amazon - still to sell
got loose change to add up and bank only a few £'s i think to date but will keep emptying my purse etc from today
going to ebay anything that isn't strapped down
trying to half my food bill from £400 a month to £200
cancel my AA membership as it is up for renewal this month but have a very reliable car and a friend who owns a garage so seems silly - £50.50
£9 from cancelling boiler insurance as I just found out it is still in warranty
Here's hoping!!!! may even get to £400

Well done! It's weird to transition from freespending to a DFW, isn't it? One of my biggest mistakes has always been not counting the pennies, but even that £2 from selling cd's will bring you closer to your debt free day.
