AIBU to feel guilty about cheap school holiday days out?

I only have £80 to last until Tuesday and obviously it is the holidays and feel so guilty that we can’t go on extravagant trips like most people seem
to be doing. The kids went camping with their dad at the weekend, we spent the day at the park with friends yesterday and obviously ice creams and things add up.

You should not feel guilty. We grew up watching TV and playing board games at home during half term. Your kids already had a little trip away and quality time with you. That’s amazing!
