Wednesday 30/01/08 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

Have a good day everyone:D

The usual surveys and clicks
Found 50p in the car park today (so have bought 15p can of spagetti and 10p reduced bag of bagels from Tesco's this morning so tea for me is sorted out tonight.)
