What, no what small DFW things have you done today thread?!

KTjazz

HI everyone!

There doesn't appear to be one of these threads today so I thought I's start one. I hope Sophiesmum and Andan are ok.

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.

So, here is my list!

today I have/will

- check banking. I had a bit of an issue with the bank yesterday. They sent me a late payment letter for an account I don't have. It was their error and is now fixed but was a wee bit stressful for a time.
- check mobile phone spend
- store cupboard meals
- sparkle like a shiny thing!

I don't have much else on my list today because I am going to see my boyfriend's play tonight. I'm all excited about it. Hee hee!

Afternoon All :hello:
Feels kinda naughty to be doing this without the grownups present :rotfl: (little things please me ) And I hope Andan and Sophiesmum's absence is for nice reasons.

KT Jazz, your bf's play? Is he starring in it, or did he write it? Is it AmDram or is he (gulp) professional?
I'm only being nosey cos AmDram entertains me (on stage, backstage & watching). And today I have submitted a play for publication

Piq, I have everything crossed for you. Hope the news is good for you.

As for me, today I have/will:

• lunch with friend cancelled due to short staff here but I still have to buy something, only it will cost less.
• storecupboard supper
• sent play in for publication - one day I may get 4p in royalties
• sis visiting aged P's this weekend, so no petrol to buy :j and I can get a move on in the garden with Mumof4's schedule. Homegrown veg next year?
• Phoned Cap 1 and they removed a £12 late fee :j when I explained not being able to do my banking. And I've set up the DD I thought was already set up
• going to the gym again tonight for free.
• sent an e-mail re a slight problem with an MS report, awaiting their reply
• will phone bank -WHERE IS MY CARD? :mad:

Have a good one everybody

My boyfriend is starring in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest this week. He is semi-professional with a view to being fully pro soon. (This is an amature production though.) He got himself an agent This week :j *:D big proud grin!:D *:T

Good luck on your play. I love writing and when I get the time I'd love to put my hand to a play (being with BF for the last 3 years I feel like I am getting to know the medium quite well :rolleyes: !

OliveOyl, feel free to PM me with more details of your play. You've got me intregued now! Good luck with it!
