As the winter nights have set in and it's going to be freezing for the foreseeable, I was interested to see what other familes do in the winter mid week after school/work. In the summer I find family activities easy, kids can play in the garden, we can go for walks or the parks and even playgrounds until late!

But in the winter I struggle with things to keep them active, I don't mind them chilling in front of the TV, but I like to do activities with them and TV isolates us all as a family. We sometimes go for walks but it's not ideal as it's dark, park can be a slog too. There's only so many board games, puzzle's and Lego a man can do! So apart from homework and dinner, what's everyone else up to from 4-7pm mid week with young kids?

Based in Essex if this has any effect
