Is anyone else starting to get nervous that the summer holidays is getting closer? I thought it would be nice to combine our ideas so I can steal all yours lol a bit like the prepping for winter credit crunch thread.
I'm trying to put a bit of money away each week so I've got a some spare to have some days out and get the train to some different places.
I've checked the cheap kids cinema listings, the ones local to me haven't been published yet but there have been lots of kids films this year so far that are likely to be on kids club this summer. That's £2.50 a ticket but some cinemas do the tickets for £1-£2. Obviously we sneak snacks in ;)
I've asked for a year pass to a local(ish) farm for my birthday, so that will only cost the transport to get there and I can use it all year.
There are lots of different parks near to us, 3 within walking distance. One of them has a museum in the grounds that puts on lots of activities in the holidays. These haven't been published yet but there are bound to be a few that will keep us occupied for a few hours.
I find that as long as I can get the DC out for a good few hours a day they will be happy to chill, watch a movie or read or play for the rest of the day.
So how are you all going to fill 6 whole weeks with not a lot of cash. Thank you! 🙂
