Please tell me I'm not the only one...

I dread the 6 week holidays. We are able to do a few days out which we'll spread out throughout the 6 weeks. Children are 7 and 1.
But my partner will be at work for most of the time, and I have social anxiety which I'm slowly improving with...very slowly. I struggle to take the kids out on my own. I feel so guilty that I'm like this.
However, people around me are all going abroad and to lovely places, I just feel like such a failure to my kids. I know we certainly won't be the only ones in this situation but my DDs friends are from wealthy families who take several holidays abroad each year.
I really try my absolute best not to compare and normally I don't, but I feel like a total failure this year .
How do you keep your children so occupied without breaking the bank? There's only so often you can go to the park and your own garden, oh and we don't have a car so would rely on public transport. That is an issue itself because of my stupid anxiety. Argh I'm struggling here.

I’m a teacher and I used to count down the days until the 6 week holidays. Now I have a 2 year old I feel very differently! I also suffer from anxiety and I find that a routine helps me massively. During the holidays work stops (3 days a week term time) as does nursery and all our regular classes. I find it tough finding things to do everyday and go through money soooo quickly! I have absolutely no desire to go away on holiday with a 2 year, but miss my holidays in the sun! No advice, but you’re definitely not alone.
