Monday 21st May - What small DFW things will you do today??!

Sunshine22_2

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!

Good morning all!

I hope everyone is well this morning. Well back to work for me:

* Check banks
* Lunch and Dinner from stores
* Quick shop at Mr T's after work, list made and ready to go!
* Drink lots of water from work (free and good for me!)
* Washing in the machine so will be hung up before I leave for work
* Quick hoover round this evening, didn't the neighbours would be too impressed if I started at 5am!

Think that's my lot really, hope you all have a good day!
