With money tight it’s easy to convince yourself that you can’t do anything to improve things around the house. To help us we’ve made a big job list that lives on the fridge. Down the side of the list is a column indicating whether the job needs money to complete or not. While a number of jobs do need money we have found there are a considerable number that are free or use resources we already have and just need time and effort. This kind of list could be good to do with kids but an activity list – types of activities that can be done with an indication of costs involved. If you are stuck for ideas for activities with the children try this site School Holiday Activities – for New Zealand Parents
