Wednesday 25/06/08 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.

Today i will:

• Clicks
• Check online banking
• Update spreadsheets
• Storecupboard meals
• Work on veggie garden
• Meet a fellow dfw for a shopping raid on tescos:D

Morning guys:D Hope you all have a good day, still overcast here but at least it isn't raining. Busy day planned at work today, roll on 4pm:D
Hi to all the regulars - not heard from Eternal Optimist for a while , and wecome to any newbies:D . Catch up with you all later.

:hello: morning all!
Still counting down to payday! 39 hours to go
Today I have

• brought in breakfast and lunch
• bought an 18 crate of pepsi max to keep at work for £3.99 in somerfield - means I don't spend 95p on a bottle in the morning!
• rode my bike in (£1.60 tax relief for 8 miles in the spreadsheet for next May )
• cut a 2-4-1 voucher out from OK! magazine for ASK pizza, OH and I are on leave for 2 weeks from friday, one week spending in London so we're finding all the deals in advance
• Done an e-rewards survey, am saving up virgin air miles for trip to new york for my 30th next march (and to celebrate DFD!)
• checked pigsback and mystery shops, nothing!

And I won't spend anything! I have a little stash of treats and fruit in the desk and had roast chicken for dinner last night, have loads left and it's just me tonight so will head over the OS board to get some inspiration...

Have a good debt busting day all
