Friday 19th September

A question about : Friday 19th September

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, or staying debt free.

Examples could be 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.

• Hello all, Happy Friday
  I think we just double started this DawnW - I have no idea how to delete this!
  Not a lot today. At work, got a lift. Colleague gave me some soup for lunch because I had brought a frozen tub of gravy (which was labelled as soup)
  Curry feast tonight from the freezer - well I hope it was curry sauce I got out this morning.....
  Best wishes x
• Yes, no thread all morning, then two at once
  I can't see how to delete either, but I expect the board guides/ forum team will delete the other one shortly.
  We had a really nasty thunderstorm here last night, and a house nearby was struck by lightening I understand that the resulting fire was fairly minimal and nobody was hurt (thank goodness) but I bet the poor family involved have a lot of clearing up, hassle with insurance claims etc to contend with We were fortunate to only have some damaged plants and a leaky skylight to deal with. More storms are forecast today
  Been to an auction viewing this morning, so not much else done yet.
  I need to:
  Finish off making the marmalade (oranges are cooked and prepped, just the boiling stage to do now, but OH is gutting a fish in the kitchen atm, and I don't want to get mixed up with that ) Done, made LOADS. And OH has smoked the fish (trout) and that looks really nice as well
  Make spinach and feta filo pie (never got to this yesterday) Done
  Clean kitchen - sticky marmalade, smelly fish, olive oil swishing around for the pie, it will definitely need it Need a cuppa first!
  Check torches etc are all in place in case of power cuts, for if we get more lightening Done
  Hope everyone has a good day.
