Monday 5/05/08 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 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/have:

• Check online banking
• Clicks
• storecupboard lunch
• Make loaf in breadmaker
• Start revamping some furniture in my bathroom.

Enjoy the bank holiday everyone:j

Good morning!

Well.....to start with, I bought enough cereals yesterday so that we have no excuses but to eat breakfast at home this morning before we go out for the day.

I also bought some panini loaves so I can make lunch before we go out for the day!!

Here's cheating a little bit, but yesterday, we placed our gas guzzling 4x4 on the end of our drive, and about 3 hours later, we had sold it!! Woo-hoo!!!! (Thought we'd be stuck with it for ages!!)

Errrm......that's about it really!

Have a fab Bank Hols everyone!

Not much happening today, going to be one of those go with the flow kinda days.

However i do have some things planned already:

* Going to the gym (my freebie win for 08 so far)
* Putting a new belt onto our old hoover and if it solves the problem, sticking it on ebay)
* Washing on 30 and out on the line to dry
* Bulk cooking so the 2nd lot can be used for lunch tomorrow at work or even tea

Morning all you lovely DFW people. Not much DFW action planned today, but so that I have something to write on here (which is why I love this thread- it makes you so something DFW):

~Breakfast, lunch and tea from storecupboard.-Done
~Do clicks- Done
~Go to the gym- the more I go the better value it becomes and I don't spend anything when I'm there.-Done
~Sort through books and take read ones to my Nana- we have a bit of a book swap going on!-Done
~Do my ironing mountain (not DFW but if I write it here I'm more likely to do it).-Done

Have a great bank holiday everyone

Well done to Lizloz on selling car:T and Andan you are a real inspiration with the amount you manage to accomplish in a day! :A

Today I will:

Check online banking:T

Try and work out how much I can throw at Capital One CC next week:rolleyes: ...I need to really try and get rid of that as quick as possible....the interest they charge is evil:mad: :eek:

Have a look at Amazon and investigate how you sell old books on there .....got quite a few in good condition Open University textbooks I don't need any more as I got my degree at Xmas:D

Have a NSD....just going to potter around in garden and enjoy nice weather:A

Peg out school uniforms in a mo and maybe stick bed linen on a 30 Super Quick wash as well:T

Lunch and dinner will be from storecupboard/freezer:T

Think I'll have another coffee first though (it's from Lidl so I think I'm allowed!):A:rotfl:

Think that's about it for day, hope everyone has a good day whatever you are doing:j :rotfl: :j

Thanks for the encouragment guys, but as long as we all do something everyday we'll get there in the end. Sometimes i wish i would have a day off to just relax, but once everything in my life catchs up with itself i will have a day all to myself!

Eternal optimist, text books sell really well on Amazon, just put the ibn code in and it will find the book and then there will be an option to sell one similair. I do this all the time with mine! Congrats on getting your degree by the way, i'm currently half way through mine. Have you any plans for the degree?
