Hello everyone - I'm back. Thanks for doing this thread yesterday.
Let us all know what small steps you are taking each day to become debt free. You may have previously dismissed these as being insignificant, but they are the things that are forming good habits, which will allow us to become debt free, and to stay that way!
So today I will be:
- sending everyone off to school/work with packed lunches
- getting my act together as my brain has gone to mush over the last couple of weeks!
- doing a meal plan for the week and a shopping list accordingly
- having a NSD by tackling the mountain of ironing instead :eek:
- checking my on-line banking
Have a good day everyone x

- listed remaining books on amazon.
Not sure what else to do. I have to attend to some post (accountant, professional membership), and my finance buddy is coming round soon to do some work on our plans. Ooh, I know, could chase up survey sites. Maybe put some herb clippings to grow after I trim the herb back. Got to do something with that time, I want to be on a roll.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
