Hey everyone- Used up nectar points(sainsburys) and got me £7.50 off my food shop bill- Hung washing outside to dryThats it for today so farsophiesmum wrote: »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.

Spent £10 treating my cousins who are home from Canada. Wasn't expecting to see them so it's no biggie. It was only a few lunches and some sweets then i took ds1 to mcdonalds to finish the day off. Spent the day in a soft play area which my mum paid for so not too bad.
I could really go a bit of chocolate so will break open a big £1 easter egg rather than buying one bar of chocolate for 50p. It's all in the name of money saving....:AOfficial DFW nerd no 551 - proud to be dealing with my debts
