Good morning - well the end of the first week of 2007 has arrived and we seem to be making good moves in the right direction.
Remembering that our journey to becoming debt free is not just about the big things, but the smaller things really do make a difference when we add them up. For anyone in doubt, look at Taxi's thread "I'm going to be loaded" when you have a mo!
So, put down here your small steps that you will be taking, or have taken today - be proud of them, they all make a difference!
I will be putting something else on ebay, looking to see whether selling on Amazon is something I can do, and making my meal plan for the week using freezer/cupboard stock so that I can keep the grocery shopping to an absolute minimum.
Have a good day, everyone!
