Friday 18th Feb - What small DFW things will you be doing today?!!?

La_escocesa

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 :money:

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:j

Morning all!
Have packed OH off to work and have the house to myself.

Not sure I can repeat the moneysaving successes of yesterday but will settle for being quite good instead!

So today's list...

• Stripped bed and is now in machine
• Walk dog x3
• Take tops bought earlier in the week back - get the cash back in my account
• Empty bins and throw away dead flowers
• Do some school work
• Checked banks
• Phone dog groomer
• Maybe clean car (still not done this)
• Stay in and watch the soaps
• Tea from stores - breaded fish and chips or jacket potatoes and peas

That's all for now - hope you all have a good day
