4.1.06 what small DFW/MSE thing have you done or will you do today?

Good Morning, my small steps on my journey to my DFD include the following:

- put something else on ebay
- cancel hair appointment for tomorrow that I cannot afford
- pay in my Olympic Challenge money that I have accumulated so far

Have a good day everyone and remember that the small things are just as important as the bigger ones!

    2. Contact Gas/elec co and get the 125.00 credit back off them they are currently holding (better in my bank account than their's!)
    3. Put unwanted Christmas present of a facial sauna on ebay

    I love this thread, so here goes:
    1. Have just done a monthly update of my financial situation - managed to do this for 3 months in a row now, am also updating it to include my debts, not just my incomings.
    2. Answer queries from my accountant about previous year's accounts.
    3. work on renewing my buildings and content insurance the mse way (due 19th of this month.
    4. post a query on this forum somewhere about the detail of setting up an ebay sellers listing - seems like you have to have a lot of detail and policies in place before you start listing

    Today:

    1. I left my food shopping list at home so it's not worth me going to Tesco (still always manage to spend more than I plan when I go there).

    2. Brought sandwich, and slice of home made cake to work with me to stop me going out to buy chocolate from the shop.

    It's not much, but it's a start. :o
