Yup. I draw up a calendar of activities for each day so that I don't have an endless number of days with nothing to do.

That's a really good idea Bellemere. Have a few things organised but haven't sorted out a daily calendar of events. Maybe that can be tonight's activity once bedtime is done...

How old is little one? I love it to be honest..The children s centre often do activities, the park do a google search or fb for local activities, the lesuire centre by us run really cheap activities.

I am using the holidays to teach DS to cook, iron and household jobs ( what a joyful mum i am lol) He does enjoy them at the mo as they are a novelty..He learnt how to put a quilt cover on today..I can guarantee he won't want to learn as a teen. I want to teach him how to cook proper meals not just cakes...

The library often do stuff as well

My DC are older so it's difficult, one (11) just wants to play on his x box or trampoline and the other is 15 so if off out with friends most days so I have to sit in and wait on them. I usually find by the end of the 7 weeks I'm going stir crazy. We're on week 3 as I'm in Scotland.
