Thursday 20th August - 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 :j :j

Morning All,

Hello to everyone who posts today. Hugs to those that need them.

Today I have/will:
• Checked online banking – no change but wanted to check anyhow
• Meals from storecupboards
• Do the usual checks for jobs etc
• Have an NSD
• Enter comps online
• Look at signing up for Virgin Bingo – need to ask someone at work how to clear cookies as I found they were on Quidco
• When I am home read up on yesterday’s forum
• Go into work really early to earn some overtime (Thursday’s are always really busy as there is a payment run)

Anyhow, have a great day everyone

Thanks for starting the thread Candy

Today I have / will:

Checked online banking

Seen to animals and plants

HM meals from stores and garden, leftover last night's dinner for packed lunch (doesn't sound much fun but everybody in the office will be jealous!)

Pay CC off (nothing major, just the one I use for supermarket etc to get extra points - it wouldn't be MS to let it accrue interest :eek: - been there, will not do so again, hopefully). I say 'hopefully' because you never know if / when your situation will change.

Freeze runner beans

Oh and go to work - better get a move on!

Have a nice day everyone :hello:

Another day, another DFW adventure:
