Sat & Sun What small DFW things will you do ??

A question about : Sat & Sun What small DFW things will you do ??

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!

• Good Evening All
  This weekend has been a bit hectic but I wanted to pop back and see you all. Had to go and fetch mum home this weekend as she has quite a few hospital appointments over the next couple of weeks so not had a great deal of time to do anything. OH worked yesterday morning and then we set off and arrived around tea-time, had tea, went for a walk, then bed and then came home today and got mum resettled into her flat - we are shattered now tho! Since coming home I/we have
  Check Banks
  Check swapits
  printed a couple of knitting patterns off for mum
  washing & hung on line
  stripped beds and re-made
  meals from stores
  off to pop some photos in a frame (for when lounge is finished)
  Hope you've all had a great weekend, love
