Thursday 3rd May - What small DFW things will you do today??!

bt1

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.

Examples could be 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!

Morning everyone,

Feeling a bit better today so just going to crack on and get on with it!

I haven't posted on one of these threads before, but thought I'd give it a try!

I will:

• Check my bank tonight as the last DD should have gone out.
• Round back account down and pay difference onto the cc
• look after my friends animals as they've all gone on holiday!
• defrost chicken to make a curry and freeze portions
• make friend's rabbit some toilet roll toys as I feel guilty that he's not been out to play in this evil weather.
• check swagbucks and slicethepie because i've neglected both
• transfer money from pp to my account
• pay for a driving lesson using left over spends from my friend's wedding so nothing extra comes out of my bank account
• watch the ferrets play with each other
• write!
• sort out some healing crystals for my cousin as she's had a nasty car accident (only she was involved, but she's broken her leg)

thats it for now!
