Tuesday 28th July - What small DFW things have you done today?!

Candy0107

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:D:D:D

• daily clicks
• breakfast from stores - some porridge that needs to be used up by the end of August
• brought in lunch from home
• hopefully a NSD
• post ink cartridge off to Tesco recycling for points
• last night of sculpture class
• do any surveys that come my way
• read book on my commute
• do some writing for class tomorrow
• find out if I'm still on placement next week, or if Friday is my last day

I think that's everything Hope everyone else has a good day! x
