Wednesday 11/06/08 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.



Anyway today i have/will

• Checked internet banking
• Clicks
• Storecupboard lunch
• Working in veggie garden
• Make a loaf in breadmaker
• No spend day

So low spending, not much time for active debt busting because it's a busy day at work, but will check banking when I can and do clicks etc at home later!

I will get a sure start maternity grant form. Because we get £40 a year over the minimum amount of tax credits we are apparently entitled to a £500 maternity grant I personally don't believe it but hey its only filling out a form so i have only the price of a stamp to lose.

STill not did my letters from the weekend either so I will do them too as toddler pixie is going out for the day with her granny.

Today I am a busy chick.

• Got a ton of laundry to do and get out on the line, rather than tumble them. May have to tumbly after all - nasty black clouds building up, and I haven't even got the bedding out yet....
• Already put a few things on the local paper's free ads
• sorting out stuff to ebay tomorrow (5p listing day, don't forget!)
• Got 2 loaves to put on (white for Him, granary for me)
• sort out a storecupboard tea
• Finish sorting out the rubbish under my bed. Bet there's a few quid there. Literally - I found £2.57 under the bed as well as more stuff to ebay lol
• Already done my clicks, but need to do the comps ending tomorrow
• Write some more nasty letters to Rossendales & ex mortgage company.

So lots to do, must crack on!
