    You could do a clear out and then do a car boot sale on sunday, passes the weekend and earns you some extra cash.

    Or just have a lazy weekend in front of the tv.
  • Hows about:

    A picnic in local park
    Free animal petting or local stables
    Library
    Gardening
    Nature trail or walk
    Decorating-freshen up the ceilings
    Clean the car-if you have one....LOL
    Home baking

    :confused:

  • 1. Make up a picnic
    2. Get in the car
    3. Drive into the countryside (not sure where you are but keep it to max 50 miles round trip)
    4. Look for twenty signs of spring

    Not only will you fill your time fruitfully but you'll also feel better with all the signs of spring...

    Whatever... have fun and enjoy the picnic

    Hi
    Thanks for all the replies.
    I have just remembered we have a free trial with Blockbusters and 3 DVDs arrived yesterday morning- so we can watch those! I am going to clean the under stairs cupboard(yuk but needs doing!!!) and sort some clothes out and get them on ebay!!!
    Plus a couple of walks with my dog should see the weekend full!!
    Also i may bake some scones

    Hi Gilly

    Looks like you have already had loads of good ideas from everybody else (my personal favourites are the picnic in the countryside, the free museums, or a cook-athon to fill up your freezer with yummy meals for the next week or so...).

    Either way, I wanted to say good luck with the no-spend weekend, and I hope you have fun - who knows...you might even find something you like so much that you do it in future when you don't "need" to!!! ;)
