Tuesday 29/01/08 What small dfw thing have you done today???

sophiesmum_2

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 banking
• Do clicks
• Eat from storecupboards/freezer
• Try and not spend any money
• Take two of my oldies to a forum and claim extra expenses for my petrol

Welcome to any new posters - feel free to join in:D
Hi to everyone else:D Hope you all have a great day.

My other half and I have been collecting coppers and 5p's in a plastic bag for the best part of a year now, so we decided to count it all out last night and it came to £76.85!

So, i'm going to take it to the machine at Tescos and change it into food vouchers

I also left the car at home today, as I normally would take it to work in torrential weather like this. I just realised that i've been a bit silly all those other times, as I don't get any more rained on walking from the bus to the office than I do from the car park to the office!

The machine will charge you a percentage for the transaction - I found out the hard way and had to make up the shortfall in the school's charity money out of my own pocket.
Your bank will do it for nothing if you give them the money in £1s or £5s as far as possible eg 100 x1p, 50 x 10p
