Wed 21st April - 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

Morning ladies

Cleosmum I Had a rant about non-seatbelt wearers last night I hope you saw it - basically its illegal not to wear one, irresponsible and I'd stop the car and ask her to put it on if I were you - she's putting you all at risk (sorry for the tirrade)

I hope you get the work thing sorted out - they can't demand parents can both work that early. xxxxx

To the rest of you gigantic hugs from the frozen north

*I will have to take clothes OFF to get dressed later*


Cant think what else today yet - still limited flights here which means postal delays etc as our post is by aeroplane
