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.

Today I will:

• Check online bankin
• Do clicks
• Visit farm shop for eggs and veg
• Sold two books on amazon
• Refused to give DD extra money and made her stick to her budget:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Late posting the thread today but have had a really busy morning sorting out kitchen stuff etc.
Hope you all have a good day - it's chucking it down gere and very grey:rolleyes:

I bought lots of art supplies for work from a pound shop instead of going to a proper art supplies shop like I usually do and I am ashamed of how much that has saved me.
