Intergalactic_Floozie

Afternoon all!!!

• Checked internet banking, no unexpected/forgotten activity, therefore no need to update Spreadsheet.
• Posted on this thread for the 19th day in a row.
• Worked 1 hours overtime (running total for April is £366.10)
• Made DS1's costume for World Book Day (class theme 'Greek mythology') for less than £12: elastic, bed-sheet, gold leaves, gold ribbon, gold dangly tassle-y thing, plastic recorder: Voila - Apollo, Greek god of Music. It would have been cheaper to send him in the nuddy like all the pictures of Greek Gods I googled, but I figured he might get sent home in disgrace!!!

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.
