Year end dilemma..school holiday fever!

For most kids it's nearing the exciting year end where school holidays are just around the corner but for poor mommy (who is not wrking since our "Indonesian alien" betrayor left us) it's gonna be a year end dilemma & "empty pocket phobia".
Why?

School holidays = more expenses (treats for kids, EVEN FOR SMALL simple vacation or outings coz mommy got 4 kids)

Year end = more expenses for Xmas gifts, E E's wedding (auspicious month), getting ready for school next year (uniform, books, new registration for nursery, etc, etc).

It's really no fun when you need to restrict your spending so much!
Do you have the same phobia of going through this Empty Pocket syndrome?

yup yup! same phobia bcuz my son is going to school next year too!

but usually on school holidays, our routine is still the same (ie stay at home!) outings will only be on weekends when daddy is around to pay for it. heh heh :P

Yeah it's hard when cash is low and the kids want to do stuff. We usually take them fishing, for walks or any other free stuff we can find to do.

you can have a lot of funs with the kids too even without spending much. Beach is a very good and cheap place!
