    ...They're barely at school in April so we'll have to pay stuff to keep us all amused!...

    Look at free or low-cost amusements.

    The park, a walk on the beach, some museums offer free entry.

    Do children play at home any more without spending money?

    As a younger child, I was quite happy to mess around on the kitchen table with some newspapers, scissors, glue, crayons and the like.

    I used to love playing cribbage or whist with my grandmother.

    It's not rose-tinted spectacles, most of these things were cheap and genuinely good fun.

    I liked going out as well, but a treat was no more than the cost of an ice cream, not the amount parents seem to spend on children today.

    Fine if you can afford it, of course.
