Approximately a million pounds, in denominations of ‘please can I have £4 on my card?’ ‘please can I have £6 on my card?’ ‘please can I have some money to
go to the cinema?’ ‘please can I have some money for McDonald’s?’ - to be fair, I’d rather them be out & about seeing their friends than sitting in their rooms (13 & 15)

I calculate we have spent nearly 1.5k already although they have been away on a trip for a week and the rest holiday clubs feeding etc

£260- escape room, cinema, picnic. Other than that they’ve just been home/ played football with friends/ been climbing (used their membership so no extra cost). 4 DC and nothing else planned apart from a week in Spain.

I’m actually keeping track on a spread sheet, as I was curious.

we have spent just over £600.

legoland (annual pass holders so just food, drink, fuel and Lego)
Bowling, cinema 3 times, soft play.

oh I did buy 2 new bikes as well that’s included as I brought at the beginning for summer holidays.

still got the holiday to get through. I have another cinema trip planned, Chessington and bowling.
