How has half term been for you?

This half term seemed harder than previous school holidays. My MOT was due and I had to pay out over £100 so this meant we couldn't do much, we did go to the Wildlife Park one day as I got a 40% off Voucher. I used Zilch to pay for this which is an app I use which lets me spread the payments, it works quite well for me.

I work from home and in the holidays I have childcare for 1 day, the other 2 days are difficult as I can’t afford the childcare so my children are home with me, we do get out for a walk on my lunch break.

The shopping bill wasn’t so bad as I didn’t need to buy packed lunch things so my shopping was lower.

All in all it wasn’t too bad but it wouldn’t have been nice not to have to worry about money and to have done more with the children.
