DD says ask your Mumsnet peeps what I can do in the hols thats fun & free!!

[Milliways]

as she has spent most of her money on a school trip to Begium Battlefields last week. She is doing some childminding this week though for a friend to earn some back.

Any revolutionary ideas out there?

I will pass them all on

mine spend most of their time in town(not free)
Swimming is very cheap though £1.20 at my local leisure centre. They also go to the bowling alley and use the pool table(bowling is too expensive)

how old? what does she want to do for a living?

Swimming
Bowling (check out times as sometimes they can be cheaper)
Cinema (if she or anyone else has a mobile with orange, get an ornage wednesday code BOGOF tickets)

bike riding
homework
tidying her room
cleaning for you and you pay her

sports -any local basketball courts/tenneis courts/skate parks?
dog walking for neighbours/friends for pocket money
re-decorating her room (although thats going to cost you) or doing a make-over of it

all the museums are free!!

Thanks - had given up on this!

Well last week she did 2 stints of babysitting which has given her some funds! Tomorrow we are going swimming as family with both kids taking friends. SHe now has a party (in town) to go to another day & I can arrange some more days out as I now have time off.

SHe LOVES going into town, but knows that will end up spending money :) I am quite happy for her to have friends round when I am out, & will have to encourage more of that. They had great fun making music on keyboards etc last week.
