Baking is big favourite with my kids when the weather is bad! Will try the scrapbook idea as well. Something my kids enjoyed doing whilst we have been snowed in, was surfing the web and entering Childrens competitions. Never know we might win something!

it didn't really help a lot. I am 11 and i am waiting for my friend to come round she is late and I am bored and the rain is keeping me from playing on my trampoline. What to do, what to do.... It helped a little though; I might ask her if she wants to make cookies later.... Thanks Tillie x

He helps out a bit when I've asked him to, and then it's playing football or computer games with them 12%
I do everything single-handedly 17%
