Friday 1/02/08 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
• Cancel DD for OH old phone contract
• Do clicks
• Eat from storeupboard/freezer
• Try and have a no spend day
• Received aussie conditioner sample today - will be going in a xmas hamper for nieces.
• Cooked evening meal for 25 oldies but meant OH,DD and myself also ate with them for free.Will also be cooking on Sunday teatime so another freebie sunday dinner.:)

hope you all have a good day, welcome to any new posters:D

I went to meat market and spent £25.99 but had 2 chickens (free range) two packs of chicken portions, two packs of mince, 4 pork chops, one ham shank, one turkey shank. so enough meat for 2 months if not more!!! went to seco and had two pairs of trousers for son for school for £2 and flip flops for 25p and sandals for my lad for £1.25 so pleased with those bargains, and oops a pair of black sparkly flip flops for me fell in they wee only 75p though. so im skint now but the food cupboard is bursting so is the freezer.
