What small DFW things will you do w/c 21/03/22

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 😀

Evening all

Thanks for starting the thread @ziggy2407

Welcome @Naturelover22   

Worked this afternoon, and walked back in the sunshine afterwards. Stopped off in town to get a few items from the cheap shops (Sav*rs, Poundstr*tcher etc) that I couldn't get from Lidl when we shopped last week. Apart from that I have:

Walked dog

Cleaned bathroom and kitchen floors

Checked banks, updated spends diary and sorted out my spreadsheet

No heating on today. We are lighting the stove for the evening still, but there is no need for any heating during the day, thank goodness!

All food from home. I made quite a few things at the weekend, and we had HM chicken pie for dinner. There is a lot in the fridge, and I have reluctantly switched on the small counter top 'overflow' freezer that I defrosted and switched off a couple of weeks ago, as some of it will need to be frozen. I will sort that out in the morning.

Morning all!

So I've decided, today will be my last day in Sainsburys. I do really enjoy working there but recently due to there being no over time and there being gaps between I work I feel more physically and mentally drained. So I'm slowly struggling more and more to enjoy getting up and going there. I want to enjoy my jobs, but currently I don't like either. 

I just need to find out who I have to contact etc.

Obviously, this is going to put a strain on my finances but it just means I need to rebudget!

To do 

Change bedding 
Make food for work

I have done

Watered plants 
Hung towels on line
