Saturday 09/02/08 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

• Make meals from storecupboard/freezer
• check online banking
• do clicks
• e mail pigsback over missing points
• Make soup from veg in fridge to use it up
• Go to farm shop for this weeks veg and stay away from asda/tesco
• Have my hair cut by a friend for free

Hope you all have a good day. The sun is shining here and it looks like a lovely day is in store:D
