It is half term and currently my son is at a kids club and I have been doing a mental health course and trying to get it done before next week as my son gets two weeks and in the process of complete a book I am writing, which I did publish but still wasn't fully happy so been editing again, and so it has been a busy week so far.

I am sure I can get it done it just means rescheduling and using my evenings on some days and what ever free time I have to get it done.
With half term I want to design a plan for next week, as my son gets two weeks, and so we will be exploring and going to make sure my camera is fully charged and film a youtube day in a life through it and I do have some videos to go up, and so going to see if I can get these up, and then I want to good some gift guides and I haven't had a look at any gift sets this year.
This I have to schedule and that is one tip I'd give is have a schedule in mind, even if it is written on a piece of tissue or a napkin, just set it out and Groupon and Voucher.com are good places t look for ideas deals on days out and experiences.
The other ideas are why not create things indoors, like me and my son play this game where I hide an object and he has to go and find it. He has loved this game from toddler age and still a favourite. I am going to take Henry using my Oyster card and you can get deals on travel, you can find this on rail enquiries and go on a bus late a night and walk around so he can see the Christmas lights in London and I loved doing this when I was a young child.
It is not about spending a lot of money but having fun and something they may like to do when your children have children, and continue to be passed down to create some wonderful memories that you and your kids can talk about in years to come.
So, I will say I hope you have had a good week with the kids off and will be writing more blogs as we get nearer to, dare I say it, Christmas. Yes it is soon.
