7.2.07 What small DFW/MSE thing will you do/have you done today?

Hello :hello:

In order that we don't forget that it is not just the big changes that make a difference, post here some of the small things that you are doing today to help you become debt free.

For me:

Continuing to update my business accounts and keep control of all those receipts flying around!
Have a NSD other than car parking which I am hoping to avoid, but will probably end up having to pay.
List 2 (at least) things on ebay
Not be tempted to turn up the heating - put on another layer of clothing instead.

Have a good day everyone!

    Hi Guys and gals.

    Not got much planned today. Am still waiting from my cheque of Cap 1 for reclaimed charges, maybe that will come today.

    Only taking £1 to work with me today, really hoping I won't need any more.

    Got a heavy day workwise and don't want to go in. Jack Frost has been out last night and it looks REALLY cold out there. BFN

    Morning all, well I have made some soup from veg that were on the Ark-Noah felt they were a bit old to use!!! Am going to make banana bread shortly with VERY ripe bananas and will be making a bread and butter pudding with bread that otherwise would be fit only for throwing out(or toast) Can I say we are not going to have a pud fest-will be frezing most of them. Have a good day all.

    Nothing much today. Have put some nice eBay money into my account, and have taken my lunch to work. Am also going to look around at lunch time to see if there's another swimming pool nearby to stop me going shopping at luinchtimes! I went swimming at my nearest pool and was sick in a park on the way home because I nearly swallowed a plaster!!
