Free days out
Free days out may seem like a myth but you can source fun without breaking the bank. The key thing to remember is that any place that doesn't charge will usually have other ways of helping you part with your cash - gift shops, pricey cafes and restaurants can all take the 'free' out of the trip.
Ensure that you've got a plan for food and drinks - a cleverly packed picnic with plenty of snacks and refreshments can keep you from spending over the odds in museums, national trust venues and parks.
