OK! You know the format!!

Let us know what small dfw thing you will do or have done today.
Remember that it is not just the bigger changes that help us to become debt free - the smaller things are forming good habits that will help us get there quicker, and will help us stay debt free when we get there!

So today I will:

• Check online banking.
• Continue with budgets getting ready for November!
• send everyone to work/school with packed lunches
• drop off an application form for some extra hours
• try for a NSD
• do piggy/quidco clicks and comps etc
• check for mystery shops in my area - I am still missing out on too many :mad:

I hope you all have a good day xx

I'm going to...

• Work hard (as a Foster Carer with 7 kids)
• Transfer some spare money from my mortgage account to my savings account as the interest rate is in favour of the savings account now.
• Find more stuff to sell on ebay (have butchers block at £132.00 now and must have more saleable junk)
• Set the heating to go off half an hour earlier & on half an hour later (already set to 18 degrees so wont go much cooler)
• Look in the loft for left over xmas cards and un-used presents that can be used this year.
• Fix the gazebo over the washing line so that it wont blow away (we use this to dry most of our clothes now and have saved loads on tumble drying - with 9 of us in the house you can imagine the loads that we have to do!)
• Defrost & Inventory the freezer and plan to use this up before xmas.
• Inventory the voucher drawer and plan xmas pressies and shopping around them.

I think that will do today as I have to go to hospital to get a full leg cast off one of the kids this AM but I have already started making the pizzas that we have planned for tea tonight.

Made coffee and lunch to bring in rather than buy today :j

Applied for the Barclays Platinum card so I can get a £50 voucher to one of the shops I use. Might not be successful but nothing tried, nothing done . The balance transfer might be useful also.

Will research combining phone/broadband into a package and whether it's worthwhile switching utilities over the weekend.

Good luck to everyone else!

was aiming for a NSD but realised have stuff from EBay thats gotta be sent today.

was gonna make tagliatelle for lunch since my guests aint coming and realised that there's only enough for 1 adult and there's 2 of us, so shall have the tagliatelle in 1 dish and normal spaghetti in the other dish. We've got tons and tons of spaghetti at home so why spend money when i dont need to?

Today I will/have:

• Sent kids to school with packed lunches

• Arranged all money transfers for November
• Using up left over chicken for dinner tonight
• Not going to look on ebay as I keep buying more than I'm selling:rolleyes:

Best of luck everyone
