Can’t afford to go on holiday? Struggling to keep the kids busy and out of mischief?
Then live like a tourist. You could make your ‘holiday’ a week, ten days, or even two weeks! Here’s how…
First step, grab a coffee (or any beverage you drink on holiday..cocktails aloha!)
Step two, grab a pen and notebook (I prefer notebooks…but a piece of paper will do!)
Ok, start closest to your home and think of things you could do that you would usually do on holiday.
Set a budget, either daily or for the duration of your ‘holiday’.
Here are some ideas to get you started;
Swap sunbathing at the pool >>>> to sunbathing in the back garden

Swap swimming in the hotel pool > >>> for the paddling pool (or leisure centre if raining)

Swap Disney >>>> for Alton Towers, Legoland, Chessington or your local…
alternatively go to the zoo or fairground!
Prefer adventure holidays?
Try horse-riding, ski-ing, quad-biking, ice-skating, canoe-ing or paintballing.
Mix it Up
Let the kids choose the itinerary…..put them in a hat….or be guided by your budget.
Have fun….and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
