7.9.07 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:

TGI Friday !!!!! :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
• send everyone off with packed lunches
• check online banking and update spreadsheet
• not increase my debt in any way
• be positive

My big thing for today, following on from yesterday's "conversations" is to sort out the money corner in my house a la feng shui, and perhaps to buy a three legged toad to sit by my front door, so it welcomes money in the house!!

Have a good day everyone xx

Check for surveys/click thrus and get them done!
Update spreadsheets
Look at flylady thread on OS and think about incorporating it into my routines! (more time for money making and I might find some more things to sell!)
