Saturday/Sunday 26-27th weekend - What small DFW things have you done today?

Pippilongstocking

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

Relaxing today - we had a 'no shop week' last week so it's been two weeks since we did a supermarket shop. It's surprising just how much 'stuff' there is in the house at any given moment!

Lounging around for me - watching some sport on TV, washing the car, doing the ironing, being brave and going up the loft to put some stuff up there and try and find a travel adaptor plug that I think is up there somewhere (had I been clever, it will be in my luggage, if not, I may just have to buy another Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

BGB - Hope the adaptor turns up - when are you off ??

Mangradora - sounds like your store cupboard is providing nicely:D

Morning all :j

Thanks for starting the thread Fay.

Not much planned today as I am going to a wedding (son of OH's boss). I am not keen on weddings to be honest - didn't even like my own that much :rotfl:

Still, the good news is that OH still fits in his suit and I am not going to have to force him into town to buy another one :eek:

Apart from that: -

See to animals

Checked online banking and moved some money to savings

Do a bit of shopping (milk, cat food etc)

Escape from wedding as soon as decently and politely possible and have a relaxed evening! At least I shouldn't have to cook!

Have a nice day everyone !!

I need to wash my motorbike today. It's a cruiser style with lots of chrome. How do I do this without going to Halfords and buying expensive cleaning products?

I had a lovely lie in - here's my list now:

• check banking
• daily scratchies
• take girls to New Look with my 20%voucher, they need coats
• chicken out of freezer for tonight's dinner - chicken wraps
