How much is half term going to cost you?

[hidinginthenightgarden]

I have taken the week off for half term. DD is in nursery wed and Thurs. DS is off all week but I have paid for him to go to a sports club for half a day on Thursday so I can have some time to myself.
We have a pass for a local attraction so I plan to spend tuesday morning there for the cost of icecreams.
Wednesday I have booked tenpin bowling - half term deal is less than £20 for 2 and we get a burger each. We have free tickets from a party for the trampoline park next door too so will do that aswel.
Thursday afternoon - cinema using free tickets from the bank.
Friday - whatever free activities I can think of. Treasure hunts, paper mache models, science experiments, make den in garden etc.
Total cost - Icecream - £6
Bowling £20 + £10 for drinks
Cinema - £5 for drinks and sweets
£20 budget for bumping up free(ish) activities
£15 for sports club
Total £76
Hoping to reduce it!
What are you doing?
Any free activity ideas or national deals you can share for others?

Not much. Im working w and t so she's at home.
She can't stand or walk far atm so we won't do much. Boring but there it is.
On Friday her mate is coming over for the day, she'll love that. It won't cost too.much.

We are going to the cinema and for a meal in tomorrow. Cinema tickets £42 and maybe £60 for meal

Tuesday - local NT place, we are members, will bring a picnic

Wednesday - they can amuse themselves at home

Thursday - day trip to the beach to visit family. Probably buy ice creams and fish and chips plus petrol for 2 hour drive each way

Friday - probably swimming. Think it's about £15 inc parking and then we are out for dinner with family for a special occasion. That'll prob be around £100

Tomorrow we're off to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. We have annual passes so just bus fare, an ice cream or similar for the girls, and a coffee for me.

Tuesday - nothing, quiet day in planned.

Wednesday I have the other two leaders who are coming on our Guides residential popping in in the morning to collect some things to carry/1st aid kit. Not sure about afternoon yet, we may or may not think about going to the cinema.

Thursday - park with friends so maybe a few treats to take.

I'm away with dd1 on my Guides' residential from Friday so it'll cost me £10 spending money plus bus fare for dd.

Dd2 is spending the weekend with her dad shopping, having takeaway, and going to the Wildlife Park comic book heroes event.

Hopefully a fairly cheap week!

Not much...have 4 DC aged 12, 10, 7 and baby.

DD1's train ticket to visit my Mum for a few days is 4 pounds ish, she is getting a lift back.
Taking DD2 out for a few treats 30 ish (she has had amazing behaviour reports all term!)
Swimming all together at some point 10 (only pay for adults here!)
Other days, we will hang out in the park, invite friends over, play games, bake, have movie nights and sleepovers.

Loads if today is anything to go by!

Been to a local attraction which we visit maybe once or twice a year as a treat. Went on rides (DS7 too little to go in alone, DS14 has a friend here so that was entry for 4 people - about £80) spent money on lunch out and donuts as well.

DS 14 wants to go bowling tonight with the friend...so whatever that costs - hoping DH is booking a lane for them now.

Rest of week is quiet - will be doing walks / visit to a park with friends for DS7 and maybe swimming but at the gym we are members of, so no additional costs.

Enough rubbish food consumed today to last the week too - will take picnic to the park.

I guess all in I will spend about £250 max on things for all three over the whole week off. (DD is away with a friend shopping and spending her savings on clothes as far as I can tell from the go-henry card messages I'm receiving!)
