Wed 27th April - What small DFW things will you be doing 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 :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:D

Morning everyone:j:j
Well, here we are halfway through the week yet it still feels like the beginning - nice;)

Morning all

Not much of a list for me today, as I'm working this morning, at a funeral this afternoon, and a football match this evening (daughter's playing). But here's the day's list, such as it is, for me:

• checked banking
• checked for surveys, done one and claimed voucher
• washing on line outside
• packed lunch for all the family except me
• v. quick pasta dinner this evening
• take bottle of water out with me to stave off coffee pangs throughout the morning!
• I'm going out to lunch with some of the family, but should be relatively inexpensive

Hope everyone has a good day - it doesn't feel like Wednesday already
