So this year, for summer holidays, we did a little experiment.
Rather than “go on holiday”, we’ve stayed at home and used the money we would have spent on travel, accommodation and food for a "summer budget" for days out.
It turns out that it's actually quite hard to spend a couple of hundred pounds each week! But we've been having a ton of fun, not just with days out and activities (bowling, cinema, climbing, etc), but with at-home creative activities.
Fun! And… a success?
