Money Makeover is back this week but with a bit of a difference seeing as it’s the Half Term Holidays which means that most of us will have the kids at home with us this week.
Over the last couple of years, I’ve written and shared lots of ideas about how to have fun on a budget so I thought I’d make this week’s Money Makeover post a bit of a round up of some of these posts to give you some ideas on what to do this week without spending a fortune….
There you go. That little lot should keep you busy this week and there’s so many ideas that I bet you could have a great week without spending much at all. As ever, I’ll leave you with a little Money Makeover homework – this week it’s to have as much fun as possible 😉

Great ideas to use – have bookmarked for the next holidays as its only 4 weeks away (gulp)
Love the idea of an “I’m bored jar”. My little girl is only nine months old, but I have already started storing away random bits to make a crafty/wet day box for her. Will be popping back here to make a mental note of all the other tips.
What can be better than a fun on a budget?
Than you for sharing this great ideas
What a wealth of ideas! I've pinned this post so I can come back and go through them all – thank you for sharing x
Funny how different the terms are over here – my son is just in his second week of the school term after a long summer holiday over January! But I will definitely be bookmarking these for the next school hold, what an amazing resource! xx
What a fantastic set of resources thank you so much for sharing 🙂 x
I can see why you should win the frugal category in the awards this year!
Thank you for these fantastic ideas.
Tomorrow I plan to use the 2 sofas and throws to make a den with the boys 🙂
Ooo, lots of good stuff in those, thanks Cass. x
i guess your kids will not get bored during half term! great mum!
Some brilliant ideas there, I will be back to have a proper look as we really need to tighten our belts this year.
Wow what a brilliant post! Half terms are always so expensive with paying for childcare for 3 so it's great to find budget-saving tips elsewhere! Thank you for sharing!
What a great list of ideas – will definitely be pinching a few for half term!
Ooh how exciting, such a brilliant post with great information. The 3 YO isn't at school yet though so we're business as usual this week *sigh* there's always the weekend though!
oooh loads to dip into here! You always have such great tips.
All in time for the half-term. Great suggestions these. Thanks for sharing. x
What an amazing amount of info – thank you for sharing x
Excellent this is JUST what I need at the moment as Kit and Oz are 'bored' already! On day 1! *despairs*
Lots of ideas – we are all for fun on a budget – I must admit our National Trust membership is one of our best yearly investments – we visited one yesterday and we have two more planned for this week – taking a homemade picnic and a flask of tea – perfect!
What a brilliant post! So many ideas, presented in a helpful way. Will bookmark this for later x
Amazing set of resources. Thank you and I hope you have a great half term.
Well that should make half-term a bit easier for everyone.
Great set of resources!!! Thanks.
And that's your half-term activities sorted right there!
Wow what a fab collection Cass – cue pinning frenzy 😉
Lots of ideas there Cass! I'm having to work a lot of this half term but am doing trades with friends for childcare and am off to visit friends for a well needed catch up and a brew. The kids will be pleased to see each other and expenditure will be minimal
