What small DFW things will you do this week? W/C 31/10

ziggy2407

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, or staying debt free.

Examples could be hanging 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 :money:

Morning everyone, I'm always lurking on this page, I feel like a stalker!!! I'm hoping to post more as I find it really motivating. This is today's plan:

- library trip this morning, need to get out of the house this morning as we didn't yesterday
- already written a list of things that need doing this week
- LO pasta for lunch before taking DD to nursery and going to work, will be strange doing a 1/2 day starting in the afternoon but that was all nursery could offer me and as its last day of month I really need to go into work today
- more surveys and competitions
- 7,000 steps
- not sure about dinner, will have to dig something out of the freezer

Morning all Thanks for starting us off this week Ziggy! I slept much better last night which I am so thankful for, I really needed that! 3 weeks today until my due date, it feels like it's a lifetime away! I had my baby shower yesterday which was thrown for me by a few friends, I had a great time and ate a lot of cake and got some lovely gifts for my little spoilt man! So my list for today is:

- Check bank accounts - Done, refund received from StepChange and moved to my ISA
- Tidy and hoover the bedroom
- Do a load of washing, possibly 2 as I've been so out of action over the weekend!
- All meals from home
- Put last things into hospital bag
- Pop to a shop as hubby wants to carve a pumpkin!

I think that's about it, have a good Monday everyone! x

Oops hope I am on the right version?

Looking forward to Halloween tonight. DS is very excited. We have a pumpkin ready (we were given) a couple of low cost bags of 'candy' (shall I self destruct now for bringing Americanisms to our door and both the kids have costumes for very little. Hoping to get some great pictures of them for the calendar we are making for an Xmas gift for the rellies. I have a £5 credit with photo box so that takes a good bit off too.

Made a use it up orange jelly and added 6 rejected tangerines. All good for our pudding tonight.

Better dash have to get organised for school run.
