Good Morning fellow DFW Peeps and welcome old timers and newbies alike :hello:

Welcome to the middle of the week :cool:

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.

So, today I will:

• check online banking and update spreadsheet
• send everyone off with pack ups
• get a present for a friend's daughter out of the present cupboard
• have a job interview for a very part time job
• do a storecupboard meal
• not increase my debt in any way
• do some matched betting (didn't do any yesterday)
• be positive

I hope everyone has a good day xx

I am sorting out my cupboards for Ebay, and eating from the store cupboards and fridge rather than buying a takeaway.

I have closed an old account, and paid off two small credit cards!!

Feeling good here!

• freezer tea (not sure what tho!)
• AVOID Boots!
• Phone on charge on my desk
• Send tracing form off for my old Post Office savings account - may have more than 50p in by now!

have a good day everyone

I wrote all my details on this forum! and negotiated an existing customer balance transfer offer with HSBC! The others however were NOT helpful at all! :mad:

I on-line shopped-my new rule is (apart from milk) no popping out for bits-when it's gone it's gone. Wednesday is shopping day-no excuses.

Caught up with an old friend I used to Ebay with-the old account with decent f/b is still running so may add some stuff to that when she gets back to me with the p/w

Did my Quidco links

Found and updated the email address on a mystery shopping site

Next task is go through the old Ebay box see what is there and sort. Same for books for Amazon

I've done my piggyclicks and we are eating out of the cupboards/freezer today so hopefully no spends. :T

Plus, a friend popped in to visit me this morning (am off work sick at the moment) and brought me 2 magazines and a lovely plant - it was a lovely surprise and they are things that I wouldn't normally have bought for myself so I was really thrilled!

~ Done some bits and pieces on Quidco to earn an extra few quid
~ Made a CC overpayment of £20
~ Finally got a Pigsback problem sorted
~ Took something back that I didn't really *need* and banked the money
~ Eating out of the cupboards and some slightly shrivelled veg out the fridge -sure it'll taste fine
