Friday 14/03/08 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 have /will

• Checked online banking - Woo Hoo its pay day:D
• Done clicks
• Make storecupboard meals

Will think of more as day goes on:rolleyes:
Have a good day everyone, glad the weather seems to have settled down now.

done piggy comps - no clicks
put on washing at 30 with a view to hang it on the line if the sun stays out
tried to log onto Coral to claim back any money i have left in it
realised that a payment of £12 which was pending on bank has been reinstated so paid this to Next

Hi all - missed you yesterday, was on a team day (and night...)
Today I have brought in breakfast and lunch that my oh bought me last night, so no spending... doing a mystery shop in a minute too.
Have checked internet banking (but forgot my spreadsheet memory stick so can't update it and getting withdrawal pangs!) and done my piggyclick.
Working all day 2mw at the rugby so no chance of any spending and hopefully some tips!
See y'all sunday...

Apart from bills, bread and milk its a NSD here.

I hope to do an up to date SOA at some point, need to tighten belt, have no idea what I can cut though Got this nagging feeling that I'm not doing enough.

Spent six quid on shopping in Tesco but made sure everything except one item was 'own brand'. Also found a receipt in the car park with 11 points on it, so will add that next trip!

Have referred a friend to Pigsback and told him how to check his credit score using it (getting 800 points in the process) and once he claims a reward, I get 500 points!
