Friday 15/02/08 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
Do clicks
Update spreadsheets as it is payday:j
Try and have a no spend day
Have lunch from excess food from last night's party:D

Hope everyone has a good day.
Woo Hoo it's Friday and it's payday:dance: :dance:

I don't think I'm doing anything DFW today

I'm working from home (and not reading MSE Boards at all) - so that's 60 miles saved = £10.

I've not left the house, does that count?

And I've increased my payments to my mum for loan of money she gave me to £150 from £100 a month...

And I've set up standing order to my little side account with A & L (no overdraft) with food budget £200 and personal spends £80 per month, so will only ever have that card on me...
