Saturday 5/04/08 What small dfw things 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.

Afternoon folks...all 3 of you

Today I...

• checked online bankingtook chicken
• checked ebay - paid my invoice - 1 watcher on 1 of my items
• washed inside of windows when DS2 was taking his nap
• sent DS1 outside to play in the lovely weather
• took chicken out freezer for tonights dinner to avoid take away
• tried on all my clothes from yesterday and have set aside £47 worth to go back to the shops. Also meant to say that yesterday on my spree i lifted £100 from the bank so that I could keep track of exactly how much I was spending. Feeling quite guilty now today but not enough to take it ALL back

Still to...

• Do piggy comps - no clicks today. I read that thread everyday and i'm hoping that when everyone who says they are leaving actually do leave, the clicks will go up and we'll have better rewards.
• have a NSD
• check my betfair account (£50cashback) to see if my footie score won me anything and if any of my horses came up on the national

Good luck everyone who is having a flutter on the national:D . Me and OH have placed several free bets, and spent £10 on other bets, and a couple of nags in sweepstake.:o
Probably come to nothing but makes the race more interesting.

Forgot to add yesterday I got two £10 vouchers from pigsback in the post.

Good luck with the geegees, I had a go at signing up to betfair via quidco but only have a solo card so no way of verifying my age.

I've also done the betfair thing, keeping my fingers crossed as a win would be excellent!

Afternoon all
Have had a pretty good DFW day, nsd apart from at the hairdresser for my cut and colour and my mum paid as part of my birthday pressie, so am being spoilt and eating them out of house and home! they don't mind though also my mum's best friend had sent a late bday card so I am £20 up from that, unexpectedly
wanted to do the £50 cashback betfair thing for my OH but his new switch card hasn't arrived in time, very annoying!! :mad:
