12.9.07 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:

It's the middle of the week already !!!!! :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
• get 3 things listed on ebay
• check online banking
• not increase my debt in any way
• update my business accounts
• be positive

Have a good day everyone xx

I really need this thread, it keeps me on track, and works like my own personal finance [STRIKE] nag[/STRIKE] trainer. So Why is it on page 3 already!!

Today I will/have:
-piggy & Quidco clicks. (found a couple more dailies on Quidco!)
-written to a company asking if 2 £10 out of date vouchers (2005!) could be re-issued.
-hm plum crumble with plums from the tree on the footpath at the back of us.
-250 free Nectar points for a survey (see Martins billet-doux for this week)
-and free Always (does Martin blush when he sends us lingerie and panty-liner links? Well he should)
-and signed up to another survey company (dull but it all adds up)
-am keeping positive (through gritted teeth )

Oh, I like this one...

Today I brought my own breakfast and lunch to work, which I do every day.

Cancelled my Tesco DVD club membership so my partner can take up the two month free trial when we move.

Bought shoes for my new poledancing course (half the price of one I was going to go for) using tips saved in piggybank.

Erm, those tips aren't from poledancing BTW. I'm not so good yet anyone would pay.

manic day at work today, had kids in to do a workshop but that meant a free lunch :j

OH stayed at home too and so it was a NSD all round.

I'm very tired now though so probably just a few clicks/emails and vegging out in front of the tele tonight - I've got Friday off work to catch up on sleep and other things as now I have a proper job I get decent holidays :j
