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

Welcome to Thursday :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:

• work at the Ski Club - thereby saving my electricity!
• send everyone out with pack ups
• check online banking and update spreadsheet
• get some admin done
• do some matched betting - still not managed any this week
• do clicks and surveys
• not increase my debt in any way
• do a storecupboard dinner this evening - something pasta based.
• be positive

I hope you all have a good day xx

Today I will be:

• Listing more things for sale (looking to get £300 worth of items listed)
• Going to the pound shop for cheap packing materials
• Going to the charity shop to pick up things for resale to 'Vintage' hunters.
• Having a breakfast for once! This'll stop me getting peckish later on and splurging on a sandwich.
• Clicks are already done (I've been awake all night again, but this time productively!)

We're staying in today so a no spender for us.

Also, we've just had the lovely peeps from Warmfront round, thanks to a post on here ages ago.

They have completely draught proofed our house for us, so it should cost us a lot less in gas and leccy this winter - cost to us £0.00 :T

Found a tenner on the floor in Co-Op and didn't spend it on chocolate!

Admittedly I should have handed it in like a good girl but they'd only do the same.. cynical? moi?

hi Hypo and all
today I have sold some of the bulkier items I was going to take with me to carboot to a friend so have made £7 whch will cover the carboot entry so anything we sell on the day will be profit and has made more space to take extra stuff to hopefully make more money.
I will also be making a pasta tea with use up vegetables, and pudding will be some free fruit I was given so all in all a good DFW day take care Shell
