Plan a weekend with my kids.

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

1. A Saturday and Sunday outline with one highlight.
2. Downtime built in.
3. A free or cheap alternative.
4. A packing list if we're going out.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
