30.8.07 what small dfw thing will you do or have you done today?

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:

• do piggy comps, clicks and surveys
• check online banking and update spreadsheet
• make storecupboard dinner
• work on budgets for September
• not increase my debt in any way
• be positive!!

Have a good day everyone xx

my first post on this thread but I hve been reading Hypno's diary for some time. Today I actually properly read the front page of the MSE website about Orange, despite having been an Orange customer for years:o , and have been sending free texts to my son instead of 10 pence a go, collecting blackberries to make a crumble, and walking the dog for much needed exercise:cool:
