10.7.07 what small DFW thing will you do or have you done today?

Hello lovely DFWers - old timers and newbies. :j

When we start out on the DFW 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.

Examples could be charging your phone up at work instead of at home to save your electricity, hanging the washing out instead of using the tumble dryer or leaving your purse/wallet at home to avoid the risk of spending.

So be proud of those small steps, they really are important.

Today I will do the following:

- send everyone off with pack ups
- do online banking and update spreadsheet
- do some more admin
- get some more yoghurt on the go!
- not increase my debt in any way
- have a NSD
- be positive!!

Have a good day everyone xx
