Weekend 9th/10th January - 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

Goooooooood morning lovely people....tis the weekend
Hope all well....and warm..... to anyone who needs one (me?!!)

Thanks Lottebear - my list is very similar to yours (although not as long), so I will steal yours if that's ok! I am hoping to have a NSD and the snow is definitely helping with that. I do need to get a newspaper though, so perhaps will need to be a LSD!

Have a lovely weekend everyone and please look after yourselves in this cold weather!

Afternoon all!

Today : -

• It's official NSD number 5
• Found £7 of Iceland savings stamps in a drawer so used them for bits and pieces for lunches etc next week
• Did another survey on Valued Opinions - 50p
• Making focaccia this afternoon, all from storecupboard ingredients
• Checked online banking and everything looking good
• All meals today from storecupboard

Another good day for me but the challenge is that I have another 4 no spend days in a row planned. I should be able to stick to them but I'm back at work next week so it will be a bit harder :think:

Have a great day all - bye for now
:hello:

I think my PhD supervisors may have the same opinion as you as well cheeky chops

Ohh for a simple life without hassles and the need to constantly justifiy your existence!

Hope you're feeling a bit better today - btw - you might need some 'emicon anonymous therapy' - you've had some brilliantly colourful posts lately :T

Keep up the good work!

Morning Everyone! :j

It's still snowy here so wont be going out until later tonight. I'm babysitting so that will be about an extra £30 odd to add to my total

Not up to much today but i will/have -

• Check online bank accounts
• Complete surveys
• Make a few pieces of jewellery
• MUST do my uni coursework, but its sooo hard! :mad:
• Hopefully it will be a NSD (might have to get train babysitting if i cant drive though)

Thats about it for me today.

Not sure about tomorrow, but i will need to change my bed and do some cleaning. Get lunch and uni bits ready for work

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend! :j
