How I did it: Planned a trip with 4 friends to visit NYC in the fall, booked tickets and rented an apartment. Booked the SATC tour online and showed up at the meeting point. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Wanted to do spinning classes to get a good cardio workout and to loose weight. Found out the nearest gym, which is also the cheapest, is opening up a branch near my work too - and by signing in there online, I could even save the registration fee. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I got the opportunity to get a MacBook Pro through my work by working some extra hours. That was a spendid deal :-) Spent a couple of days to explore and customize the settings and transfer all my files from my external harddisk. Read how I did it…
