how much would you expect to spend?

[UhhOhhh]

help me settle a minor row...

how much would you expect to spend on 2 days out with 2 children -

day 1 - entry to farm, lunch in cafe, coffees, ice creams etc, trip to gift shop and chippy tea on way home

day 2 - public transport costs in London, picnic for 3 adults and 2 children, ice creams etc, drinks, supermarket trip on way home for dinner for 4 adults 2 children including wine

just had a small row over what I've spent and I'm wondering if I'm being unreasonable?

Could easily amount to over £100

More than £100 I expect for all that.

£50 day 1
£70 day 2

I have no idea what public transport costs in London.

For the farm day out though we could easily spend £100. But could probably do it for £50 if being careful.

Easily more than £100. Possibly £150+.

no change from £200, and i wouldnt bat an eyelid at that

depends where you are - how far from London

easily £150

Day 1 --£75
Day 2 --£80

I wouldn't expect to see much (if any) change from £200 tbh.

I mean, it could be done for less, obviously if you HAD to, but as you went to the gift shop etc I'm assuming you weren't trying to do it on a strict budget.

Around £150. It all adds up doesn't it?

I'd guess around £150?

I totted it up in my head as £180 if being fairly frugal on it in terms of drinks, lunch etc. Easily over £200 if not trying to save. How much did you spend?

200 roughly.

Farms and trains are expensive.

About £200?

Which I have to say I would be a bit if dh spent for 2 days out.

If you're going to a farm, then that's a treat - seriously, lunch out, AND an icecream, AND the gift shop? Could you not take a bottle of water, sandwiches, thermos flask of coffee and give them a choice of ice cream or gift shop tat?

Ignore me if you are a millionaire.

£150 easy, anything under £250 is not utterly unreasonable

thank you mumsnet jury I have been vindicated!

DP was, aherm, surprised I'de spent £100.

200 , yes - although I have 3 kids - so , lunch at farm cafe would surely be a fiver plus per head - chippy tea would be 20-25 - so 50 quid on food alone on day one..

Can be done cheaper..a lot cheaper.. but from what the option put.. its what I expect it come to.

Were going to a zoo tomorrow whichbis costing me 23 but if I had to pay for travel it'd be near 50 . Thankfully my mum is taking us with a picnic.

It can all add up.

Def over £100, and probably a fair bit more too.

I can never be faffed with making, and then having to carry around, packed lunches for days out, so we always eat in a cafe. I never do the gift shop though.

Also depends on what kind of dinner you were making and the wine chosen.

I think you've been very frugal then. I would have guessed just short of £200 as well.

That is pretty good going.... though I'm guessing you live in the London area? So making travel cheaper then ifbyou where going into London?

Blast two post was done before I read how much.

I don't think you could have done cheaper lol

About £200ish

Gosh I'm impressed at all that including dinner on second night for only £100!!!

yes sorry I live in London and was traveling to another part of London, so 1 overground, 1 tube and 1 dlr, but on oyster card so not too bad. Dinner was spag bol so nothing extravigant!
