Dull and damp here today, boooo.
Off out after school to spend DD1's birthday money - she has £80 in New Look vouchers, £75 cash and few more vouchers:eek: So I don't think I'll spend much;)

Quick list.....

• Check banking
• Scratchcards
• Charge mobile at work
• Spag bol out of freezer for dinner tonight
• Lunches to work
• Take drinks with us after school so I won't get collared for some;)
• Take back top to Next that I DON'T need (£14 back to current acc:p)

Probably won't be an NSD but will try, you never know:rotfl:

What small dfw things have you done today???
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, or staying 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 all - Hope no one minds - but this bit of the thread each day keeps me on track (so I have cut and pasted it in!!) So if I ask really nicely can we have this bit and the smiley tomorrow ?:) I know SM always like to start it like this

(Thanks for starting the thread Alison - hope you don't mind me editing this bit in - its like a bit of a motivational bit for me (and others) in the mornings kinda a bit of a routine that its posted by SM with the message first - hope your bass and chicken get sorted and the bedridden lover gets better)


Morning Mog chops and Milly

Today is a very sore headed and tired stripey socks house so taken some tablets and now feeling yuk

[STRIKE]
Check bank
[/STRIKE][STRIKE]Walk dogs at fields[/STRIKE][STRIKE]
Take more stuff to fields using wrok truck and not my car
Sunny - woo hoo
[/STRIKE]Do more writing
Storecupboard lunch and tea - brekkie at work
Phoned DD using free minutes

Not much today - lots on at work

Yesterday we had fish and chips on the beach paid for by 10p's from a stash They were sooooooooooooooooooo good - dont do it often
Also went to tescos
Wombled my first reciept
Got lots of reduced stuff and more pate for 10p each they were 25p but the nice lady reduced them even more we are very lucky cos its yummy and it freezes easily

Today will try and sparkle lots and have lovely long stripey socks on for motivation

Bye guys

PS sorry don't want to sound like a small child saying 'I want a smiley in the morning and a wee pep talk' (PLEASE!) - it really does just make me think OK today I can try

Morning all :j

Dull and grey here as well - sounds as though the sun has migrated to Scotland today or possibly followed SM on her holidays :rotfl:

Meetings all day at work today so probably very little will get done :mad:

Today I have / will:

HM meals from stores but will need to call in to Mr S on the way home from work to get more bread and fruit.

Seen to animals and plants this morning, evening routine later.

Buy cheap printer cartridges from shop at work - must stock up before I leave, as they are about a third cheaper than anywhere else

Reuse previously printed-on paper by printing on the blank side (I always do this for routine things).

Walk small dogs later for free exercise.

Oops must get on, (looking at the time)

Have a nice day everyone :hello:
