With half term coming up, you may be racking your brain for fun activities that will keep the kids entertained. But if you’re on a tight budget, this is easier said than done. While there’s always the option of considering your funding options to pay for family activities, you may wish to choose cheaper alternatives to save money wherever possible. Here, we’ve rounded up some of the best cost-effective ideas that all the family will love.

  1. Explore a museum

You’d be surprised how many free museums there are across the country. Wherever you’re based, there’s likely to be great galleries, exhibitions or art centres that you can explore with the kids. Not only will this keep them occupied, but it will educate them too.

  1. Take a walk in the park

Are your kids more interested in sitting in front of a screen than going outside? Then it’s a great idea to take them to a local park or gardens for some fresh air. Pack a lunch and take some fun ball games to incorporate some exercise into your day!

  1. Watch a film

If the weather isn’t kind to you, set up a family movie afternoon. This could be as simple as finding a film on Netflix and buying in some bags of popcorn. Or you could head to the cinema as there’s lots of offers for kids at the Odeon, Vue and Cineworld. Tickets can cost as little as £2.50 for the little ones!

  1. Do some cooking

Teach your kids essential culinary skills by adorning your aprons and getting to work in the kitchen. There are lots of cheap, family-friendly meals online that can cost just £1-£2 per person and are quick and easy to make. Plus, it means you have some help making dinner!

  1. Get crafty

Another great option if the weather is bad is to set your kids a craft task and watch their creativity flow. There are lots of fun ideas to choose from, such as drawing or painting, making dreamcatchers, experimenting with playdough and more!

  1. Enjoy some sports

There are plenty of sports that you and your kids can enjoy on a budget. Take them to their local park to play football, ride your bikes down a cycle path or get competitive during a game of tennis at your nearest sports centre. The Lawn Tennis Association operates many free tennis lessons across the UK, which are well worth investigating if money is tight.

  1. Go to a free event

With plenty of free events for families across the country, both the kids and your bank account will be happy. For instance, Hobbycraft and Dobbies Garden Centre do free workshops for kids in their UK stores. The National Trust also runs events throughout the year and have plenty of play areas and indoor adventures to enjoy.

We hope this has given you plenty of inspiration for the upcoming half term holiday!

From Broken to Whole: The Radical Reawakening Behind The XI Code

Most healing begins with the assumption that something is broken. That the fix lies in the right therapist, diet, retreat, or ritual. Patchwork solutions for a fragmented self.

But for clients of The XI Code, the breakthrough did not come by fixing what was broken, it came by remembering what was never damaged to begin with.

It is not a spiritual placebo or self-help remix, rather a recalibration, a return, a radical stripping away of every distortion that ever claimed authority over who you are. Founded by Masati Sajady, The XI Code has become a sanctuary for those who sensed there had to be more and now live the proof of it.

This is not talking about polite gratitude or glow-up affirmations, these are accounts of full-system transformation, physical regeneration, identity coherence, and a kind of inner homecoming that makes every previous attempt feel like a rehearsal.

“This isn’t about self-help,” says Masati. “This is about self-realization. There is a version of you untouched by pain, trauma, or time and that is what XI reveals.”

Remembering the Self Beneath the Static

Those who enter the XI space often describe their experience not as something new they learned but as something ancient they finally remembered. One client shared: “I listened to Masati’s podcasts during a bottomless depression. I swear it pulled me from the dark to the light.”

But the words they use are not mystical or out of reach, rather grounded. “I feel safe in my body.” “I’ve come home.” “I finally see myself.”

This is not a performance of healing, it is a quiet, cellular knowing.

“I survived death and decoded life,” Masati explains. “I returned with the blueprint for those ready to rejuvenate the body, unlock peak performance, and evolve humanity.” Those words, radical to some, feel like a memory to others. As if, somewhere deep inside, they always knew this was possible.

When the Body Starts Listening

While XI is not a medical protocol, many clients describe physical transformations that coincide with their inner shift. One wrote: “I’ve begun rendering myself as my highest form, right here, in this space and time continuum.”

Another called it “the most effective healing method” they had found after years of traveling the world for answers. But the common thread was coherence. A recalibration across dimensions: physical, emotional, energetic, and ancestral. It is about resolving distortion at the origin point.

Rewriting the Lens of Reality

After engaging with The XI Code, many report not just feeling better but seeing life differently. Like a veil lifted. Like their perceptual field was reset.

One wrote: “My whole life is changing in every way and it’s just unfolding on its own. Every day, synchronicities. It’s like magic.”

Another put it simply: “I found my home and I wasn’t even looking.” Again and again, the word home appears in these testimonials not as a destination but as a state of being.

Masati explains this with precision: “XI doesn’t upgrade the version of you that’s broken. It reveals the YOU that was never broken to begin with.”

A Quiet, Powerful Community

Though The XI Code is not marketed as a group program, many clients describe a shared energetic field as being held by a collective intelligence moving through similar layers.

“I can’t wait to wake up and see how much more beautiful I’ve become,” one said not from ego but from evolution.

Because the work does not stop when the session ends. The system keeps unfolding, recalibrating, and upgrading.

Not for Everyone But For the Ready

Masati is unapologetic: “The XI journey requires the courage to see Truth on all levels, in all arenas, and to accept responsibility for the Life you’ve been gifted.”

It is not for those seeking a new story to believe in, rather for those ready to remove every distortion that ever told them they weren’t enough.

And what remains? The version of you before distortion and the one that was always whole.

You do not need to become someone new. You need to meet who you were before the noise.
