It use to cost £3 a DVD per week. Now I not sure if I am odd but I don’t normally watch a film 7 times. So although it’s a small saving on Sky Box office and bigger saving then buying the DVD, it still meant that after getting a film for the kids and one for  me it starts to mount up. I have just discovered my local library is running a pilot scheme of reducing the charge to 50p a film per day. If I get a film on a Saturday morning it is still 50p if I return it by 6pm on the following Monday. To me that is a huge saving and will mean less fighting on who gets to chose a film as we all can.

Before you shout that you want to see new films and not old films, you really should check the library out. Today there were copies of Inception, the latest Toy Story and Valentine’s Day to name a few. So it’s not all oldie worldy films thought they are there too if that floats your boat.

Apparently one of the things that will deem the pilot a success and keep the prices at 50p is how many hires they have. Bit obvious I suppose- The more the new 50p system is used the better chance it has of staying.

How do you let your kids indulge in their creative side without them wrecking your house? Around 1/3 of all home insurance claims for accidental damage is the result of a child knocking over a TV, using your new cream wallpaper as a blank canvas, or tearing a hole in your new leather corner sofa. Many parents don’t realise that your home insurancemay cover you for any damage similar to that listed above, so before shelling out for any damage the little tinkers have done it might be a good idea to call your insurance provider and see where you stand.

To make sure you are covered for such damage, make sure you read all of the small print on your policy before you commit to it. You may have to extend your accidental damage cover to make sure that the items that you want to be protected are covered, so you won’t be left short in the case of an accident. Remember that most policies will not cover clothing- so keep your designer shoes and handbags somewhere out of reach of children! Other items which may not be covered are portable electrical items such as mobile phones, laptops and mp3 players. You may need extra cover for these items, so always check with your insurer. Unfortunately, most policies do not cover damage done by your pets, so it’s a good idea not to let your pooch, kitten or hamster have access to any expensive furniture or goods.

To make sure that the kids don’t damage your home, try to think of some indoor activities that won’t make such a mess. For example, replace all felt-tip pens and marker pens with crayons- if you’re child does accidentally stray away from their colouring book, crayon wax is easily removed from hard surfaces and textiles. Only allow painting (with water-colours) under adult supervision, and to avoid knocks and spills perhaps use safety gates to prevent them getting to expensive equipment.

If your child does cause a household accident and you need to replace something, take a look at our vouchers page for printable vouchersor voucher codes for a number of DIY and furniture stores, such as B&Q, Ikea and Argos.

Most of us welcome the arrival of Easter weekend as the majority of workers get a nice long weekend off work, which we use to see family, eat lots of chocolate and relax. But for those with children, Easter means something completely different. Half term means that the kid’s get two weeks off from school, meaning that the parents and grandparents are faced with the problem of keeping the little ones busy and entertained until they return to school.

With the recession still looming over the country, more of us are trying to be more frugal and are trying to save for a rainy day. More to the point, inflation means that we’re paying an increasing amount for goods and services than we ever have before. So finding activities for you and your children to enjoy-without breaking the bank- is extremely difficult.

Take note of the top 5 vouchers for days out at Easter from moneysupermarket…

1. Shakespeare’s Globe vouchers – Get 20% off your visit to the Globe. Educate your little ones about arguably the most talented playwright of all time. The Globe was built in 1599, but then burned down in 1613 during a performance of Henry VIII. This is a fantastic day out for adults and children in the London area, and can really bring Shakespeare’s plays to life having seen where they were originally performed.
2. Pizza Express vouchers - Why not treat the kids to their favourite pizza, as well as a night out at the cinema. Pizza Express is offering 2 for 1 on pizza and a trip to the cinema by using the printable voucher. They’ll even throw in a free starter as well! So choose a family friendly film and enjoy the whole night out for half the price.
3. The National Seal Sanctuary vouchers - Get 20% off entry to the National Seal Sanctuary in Cornwall. The kids will love the opportunity to see the 40 acres of land dedicated to seals and sea lions. You can watch staff hand feed the seal pups, and have the chance to become a rescue volunteer yourself!
4. The Edinburgh Dungeon vouchers – For those who live in Scotland, or close by, why not take a day out with the family to Edinburgh Dungeon. Here you will find real actors, spooky rides and special effects which all convey the dark side of Edinburgh’s past. This will be an exciting and educational day out, again with 20% off for up to 6 people. We also have offers for York and London dungeons as well.
5. Legoland vouchers- Legoland is offering all of their visitors 5% off entrance price this Easter. The kids will love this colourful and fun theme park, where everything is made from the childhood favourite toy. Look out on our site for more Legoland offers, including short breaks at the famous Legoland resort.
