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

Hello everyone, the weather is dismal so we need to remind ourselves of the progress we are making every day.....:T

So let us know what small steps you are taking today to enable you to become debt free.

I have:

- sent everyone off with packed lunches and yesterday I stuck to my shopping budget at the supermarket

I will:

- check online banking and make an overpayment to a credit card if at all possible
- write to my old phone company demanding the £39 that they owe me
- try for a NSD

Have a good day everyone x

    Good morning. Weather beautiful here in Wales (probably cold outside though!!!). Not much happening on the DFW side of things today but
    - I have done my clicks
    - made packed lunch for myself and DD

    Don't think I'm going to have NSD as petrol is looking VERY low in the car so will need to out some in :(

    Hope you all have a good day.

    * Sent nasty CCA request for credit agreement to "alleged" creditor*

    * F&FS letter to other creditor I believe I actually owe...

    * Managed to provide enough money to pay minimum payment for third creditor THIS month, and applied to get money back from old PO savings account which will allow me to settle debt in full NEXT month.

    * Recieved info from CCA that they have put my case on hold and are not going to try for a CCJ until they have spoken to my creditor. YAY:)

    Not a NSD... I spent money on recorded delivery, printing, & a postal order. Plus a small treat from the charity shop - 50p:)


    *It is a thing of beauty. I think they are gonna disappear real soon:)
