6/6/07 what small DFW/MSE thing have/will you do today?

Morning All

Couldn't find this thread so I hope no-one minds be starting it. The small steps are so important in helping us to form good habits that will help us during our DFW lives and beyond, such as taking packed lunches, drying clothes outside and doing our weekly budget.

Be proud of the small things that you do, as they all add up and make a difference :)

Today I will be:
- Doing clicks and searches
- Having a NSD
- Checking online banking
- Drying clothes on the airer
- Continuing CAFCgirl's unnecessary challenge

EDIT TO SAY - Forgot the biggie! NOT INCREASE MY DEBT IN ANY WAY! :)
Have a lovely day everyone

    3. Check online banking to balance to daily spend diary
    4. Just heard how much my annual pay rise is and it gives me an extra £10 a week!

    Hi all. I've missed this, resorted back to writing lists on paper, which isn't as satisfying as seeing them up on the site. Today I will:
    - have another NSD, which means lots of "leftover" cash to go into the debt kitty.
    - send off a cheque to Tesco to bring my account up to the amount where I can get this bonus at the end of June that Martin told us about.
    - check up on a couple of emails I sent out last week.
    - prepare the house for the first builder coming round to quote for the renovation.
    - *maybe* post on here about using the snowball. I don't understand how to do it for interest only loans. Mind you, the renovation (first stage only, ha, will cost thousands, I wont be up for repaying for ages).

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