Ideas for a NS weekend?

The weekend is looming and in a bid to stay on track I'd love to have a no spend weekend.
Any ideas of activities, fun things I could do with my seven year old?
I know the weather is supposed to be nice so we will probably get out and about but any suggestions would be helpful - ta

    Can you travel? How about a trip to a local(ish) musem, most are free of charge these days. I know the imperial war museum and science and industry museum are both free near me.

    Have you enough food in your cupboards to make a picnic, maybe visit a local lake and have something to eat. Take the dog for a swim if you have one.

    How about teaming up with a friend and having a come dine with me competition with the kids cooking, only twist is they cvan only use what is in your cupboards? Rate each other over the two weekend dayswith each family being host. A change of scenery and maybe a board game to finish with.

    DVD and popcorn,
    'Bear Grylls walk' which is what my 4yo has christened the walk around the local nature reserve to feed the ducks.

    Paddling at beach if you are near to one. Net fishing at local pond/lake/shallow river. Natural treasure hunt.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.
