Monday 22nd June - What small DFW things have you done today?

pixiechick99

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:D

Good Morning everyone:p
Hope you all had a lovely weekend - we were at my sister's for a (chilly) bbq;) Hoping the sun comes out this week

Morning,

Back on track today (where did the weekend go?). My DFW things today are:

• meals from home
• TAB scratch - 25p
• read more of my book
• chill
• sort out my tax - get together P45's and P60's
• go to work and resist the thought of booking a long weekend (Fri and Mon) as I have been back at work for 3 weeks
• sort through my emails
• eat sensibly - lost 3.5lbs at ww this week, so I am looking for a really good result next week

Think that is about it, hugs to those that need them and hi to everybody

Take care and enjoy the sun

my mate turned her baby food jars into laterns. she binned the lids, got all the sticky labels off, and then painted them with different coloured nail vanishes, popped in a tea light and put them all over her garden for a party, it looked amazing!!!! Weirdly if you can get really cheap watery nail varnish like from pound shops or the gliterry stuff for kids, they leave a finer coating on the jar and let more coloured light through
