Sunday 13th May - What small DFW things will you do today!? :)

katy_ann

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. :j

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! :T
Today I will -

- Check online banks
- Do full load of washing and hang outside to dry
- Lunch and dinner from home
- Tidy up the house and get ready to move, only 3 weeks now!

Have a lovely day everyone! x

Hi guys, well we've got another lovely day here in Devon so,

meals from stores.
finally made the flapjack, yum.
washing on the line, 2 days in a row.
DH bought hedge trimmers, but did price check first and used home base coupon and got nectar points.
taking DD to a party this afternoon over in Cornwall. Ooh, it's a foreign land to us devon dwellers!

Hope you've all got a relaxing day planned. Good luck with the packing Katy Ann.:D

Did the main Tesco shop. Found another 5p off a litre of fuel voucher in a discarded trolley and got another one for the spend in store!

Favourite purchase was frozen Alaskan salmon. Reduced from £10 to £5 but I also had a £2.75 off voucher that they'd sent me weeks ago. On top of that, an I store magazine had a £1 off frozen food voucher in it. So I ended up paying £1.25 for something that will be the cornerstone of 2 main meals for 4.

Planned the week's meals and what leftovers will make the next day's lunches.

Made an arrangement with the mother of a child in my son's class to share cookery ingredients for the next few weeks. Getting so many leftovers because the smallest pack sizes are too big!

Now need to plan some time for home cooking to use up those leftovers!

Hi all
I'm just back from a not very mse shopping trip - however when I consider how much I would normally spend in the bad old days then £26 doesn't seem horrific. And I got to spend some child free time with a friend.

Today I am remaining indoors to make sure I don't spend any money.

I'm also doing some work, which should get a couple of extra hours on my flexi-sheet.

Hi 925pws

Slightly OT but can you take any old mascara to the Clinique counter for exchange, or does it have to be one of their's?

:)Organised diary for next week
:)Barcodes and recipt submitted
:)Checked Mr A order & put everything away
:)Made a start on sorting through course work
