It's half term this week, and for many parents that means finding enough activities to keep your children entertained for the week, while also not breaking the bank with expensive trips out.
But one mum has explained that she never spends more than £200 when her children are home from school for the holidays, and not only will her budget see her through this week's half term, but she'll also be sticking to the same budget for their entire six-week summer holiday.
Maddy Alexander-Grout, 39, was previously in £40,000 worth of debt before turning her financial fortunes around by carefully planning how she spends every penny, and she now uses her savvy money skills to budget her kids' holidays.
