Sat/Sun 12th/13th April What Small DFW-Things Will You Be Doing Today?

When we start out on the Debt-Free Wannabe trail we do loads of big "stuff" that makes quite a difference to our situation. These include having our lightbulb moment, cutting up the credit cards and cancelling Sky and the Gym.

But once we have done the bigger stuff, we often feel that we are not making the same amount of progress, when in fact the small steps are helping us form good financial habits and helping us get closer everyday to staying in control and becoming debt free, or staying debt free...

Examples could be hanging washing out instead of using the tumble dryer or leaving your purse/wallet at home to avoid the risk of spending.:money:

  • Late reporting in today - Hi Everyone!
    Been to pick up G'son for weeks hols with me.
    Not done much today other than that, but tomorrow we're spending time in the garden - he wants to plant his seeds.
    We're also going to get twigs to make an easter egg tree.
    Washing on economy wash overnight - peg out in morning.
    slowcook prepared ready to go on in the morning.
    Downloaded freebie book for my kindle.
    Checked bank account (always a good idea before G'sons visit - keeps me on the straight and narrow when I'm tempted to spoil him) ;)
    That's me for today folks.
    Hope you are all well, safe & happy. :)
