Thursday 11th Feb - 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

Goooood morning;)
Hooray, it's the last day of term for my 2 today....both got Inset tomorrow so bring on the lie-ins:p (If anyone else wants to start the thread feel free....I won't be here at 7ish I doubt!)
Going to stay in and make the most of my last quiet day today...do some work and wait for the electricial coming to look at the ropey shower.

Hope all well today - hugs all round:A
