25.4.07 what small dfw/mse thing will you do or have you done today?

Options
Howdee fellow DFWers

We all know that the big changes can make an instant difference to our finances, eg cutting up the credit cards and cancelling Sky or the gym membership.

But once we have done all the bigger stuff it is sometimes hard to realise that we are still doing DFW stuff each and every day! They may be small things but they are so important!

So, be proud of those small steps that you are taking today and let us all know what you are doing to help you become Debt Free :j


Today I have:

- sent everyone off with packed lunches
- sent off for some freebies after reading Martin's money e-mail (never think of visiting the freebies board, too busy on DFW!)
- loaded another thing on ebay

I will:

- be going for a meeting at the local school about doing some exam invigilating
- trying for a NSD
- paying in ebay sales money off my Egg card
- having storecupboard lunch and dinner

Have a good day everyone!

    Happy Birthday Emily and good morning DFW's.

    Its payday today (and I still had £120 left in the bank from last month). Today I have/will
    - Done Piggy comps and clicks
    - Checked online banking
    - Make minimum payments to the cards so I know that its sorted for the month.
    - Packed lunch for everybody

    Think that's about it but will report back later if there's anything else.

    Hope you all have a good day

    Happy Birthday Emily, and hello everyone. Today, lets think:
    -put some beans on to soak so I can cook them this evening (its cheap being a vegetarian, sometimes)
    - read more of Donglemouse's thread - I've discovered a new figure to worship!
    - transfer some money in my current account to a savings account - I *lurve* online banking.
    - ug. This one is horrible, and not particularly moneysaving, but its going in anyway: I want lots of positive vibes to me on this one, am desparate. I have to clean the door from the porch to the house. And then the porch. The door alone has three *three* sacs of baby spiders maturing. I can't bear to kill innocent babies, but it has to be done. The mother, who lives on the door, I'll try to save, but she pushes herself into the ninety degree angle between the edges of the window, its impossible to get at her. I should have done it when I first saw her, weeks ago.
    - have updated sig somewhat.
    - try to use the snowball to check what I should be lobbing overpayments at.

    Oh Karmacat, don't kill those spiders! Wait for them to hatch first, they will all go off and find homes elsewhere. Just think of the Karma!

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    I know! I know! But my mother's coming to visit in 10 days, and *she'll* kill *me* if she sees it in that state! And I have clients who use that door four days a week! And I can't hack it, I don't like going out the house, its getting crazy!!! The mother is starting to cover the whole pane of glass with her web, tho not a very good one (she must get disturbed with the door opening and closing I suppose, lol)... its really not nice. What if someone brushes the door as they come in? They'll be covered in a couple of hundred baby spiders - and *that* is something I really, really don't want to deal with.

    Plus, you know, if killing spiders is bad karma (which I think it is) I'm already doomed. I'll probably be reborn as one and spend my next five hundred lives getting smacked by humans.
