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

Happy Easter everyone!

:EasterBun

Let us all know what small steps you will be taking today on your road to becoming debt free.

These are the things that you may have thought insignificant, but actually they form the good habits that allow us to make real progress, and to stay debt free when we get there!

So, today I will be:

- doing a car boot sale and taking a flask of coffee with me to avoid spending unnecessarily
- putting a couple of things on ebay
- announcing the start of pasta week in the hypno house (you can have anything you like for dinner, as long as it is pasta)
- not giving my nieces and nephews easter eggs this year but just to send e-cards to them instead.

Have a good day everyone, and enjoy the sunshine x

    Going on a long walk in the sun and taking a scrummy picnic.
    Hoping to have a none spending day as I don't need a thing.
    Washing some clothes on a cold cycle and hanging out in the glorious sunshine.

    Good morning everyone and happy easter.

    The children are off with their father today, so I get my monthly 4 hours of freedom!!!!

    Today I am

    - having lunch at mum's
    - going to sit in the garden in the sunshine and hopefully finish assignment
    - make some bread this evening

    Not much in a debt free way but there is no spending on the agenda.

    good morning everyone!

    Ive not been the best DFW recently- so I see today and tomorrow as my chance to get back on track.

    I nee to revise my SOA and plan the next 3 months budgets as I have a lot of weddings and things coming up.

    And I am going to write letters to each of the credit reference agencies as it seems they have not removed my CCJ as they should have.
