Hey folks,
My little DFW thing was to go on our cross trainer today - we bought a second hand one from ebay at the weekend for £60 after cancelling our gym membership which was £60 per month! So for the price of one months membership we have a cross trainer we can use whenever we like forever. I also ate lunch from the kitchen cupboards and used a work phone for my personal calls (allowed!).0 -
