4.3.07 what small dfw/mse thing have you done/will you do today?

Hello!

I hope you have all had a good week and are looking forward to a lazy Sunday (no such luck here!)

Let us know what small steps you will take, or have taken today on your path to debt freedom.....

I will - not spend anything
- do a day's teaching to earn some extra cash
- reduce the number of hours that the heating is on.

    Morning Hypno and everybody else :)

    Its a cold Sunday in Yorkshire and my first day off in a while so I am planning to fill it with positive things to do. On the money saving side I am...

    *having a no spender today.
    *wrapping an Ebay parcel up.
    *Filling my deposit book in for when I deposit Ebay cheques into my bank account tomorrow.
    *Walking the dogs on a two hour hike rather than paying for the gym/swimming baths etc
    *Amending and relisting a few items on Ebay that didn't sell first time around.
    *Putting an extra layer of clothing on rather than have the heating on.
    *Doing a food audit in my cupboards and fridge and using up any food stuff that is approaching its sell by/use by day.
    *Colouring my own hair rather than going to the hairdressers.

    And that's it so far.

    Have a good day y'all.

    Good morning Hypno and Bambywamby and everyone who follows,
    Very wet and windy here, so planning to stay inside with the fire most of today, so a NSD planned.
    Done comps on pigsback
    going to make some cookies later on so i have some snacks for work

    not a great deal really, but fingers crossed it will all add up over time!

    Was hoping today would be my first none spender in a fortnight but the other half has just bummed 60 pence off me for the drinks machine at his work :) the upside is he is working over time today at £22 per hour so I willingly give him 60pence for a few coffees to keep him going.

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Hoping for a NSD but not sure. Have to drive back home so might have to get petrol as in my mum's car. Also feeling rubbish today so think I'll probably buy something stupid :(

    Morning all, happy Sunday!
    My plans for the day include nothing but being chained to my desk with my head in my books (and in MSE obv!)
    So not a single penny shall be spent.
    How very moneysaving of me.
