Things to do on the cheap?

My OH and me have been sorting our debts out for about 2 years now. And since then we have had no social life at all to save us money to pay off the debts asap. I will be debt free by next month :D but still want to save as much of my money as possible as we will be saving for a deposit on a house/flat.

So can anyone give me ideas of things to do/places to go at the week-end/spare time that doesnt cost much or where i can save money. As 2 years sitting in watching tv in most of our spare time isnt healthy and very boring!:confused:

    Keep an eye out for cheap offers on here to join the National Trust.We joined seperately via quidco,for £12 each. Today we had a lovely walk round their fantastic parkland with our dog,it was magical.When we go away,we always visit the neaerest NT places,again for free.(not everyones cup of tea but great value for a year)

    Don't know whereabouts you are, but can highly recommend camping. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but we go for a weekend now and then and it's not expensive - dog loves it too!

    Also saving Walkers Brit points like crazy for some good deals.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T
