If you are unable to have any fun, what would you ideal bank holiday weekend be?
If you could plan the perfect money-no-object three days away from the office, kids or home, what would you do?
Read News Shopper editor Richard Firth's ideas for some inspiration:
Saturday: Lie-in. Pub lunch. On to the Galpharm Stadium to see Huddersfield Town beat Leeds United 10-0. Back to pub. New Order turn up for impromptu, unpublicised gig, which lasts for three hours and they play all the obscure, early stuff. Bed.
Sunday: Lie-in. Grandma turns up to take kids off our hands. Concorde to New York. Breakfast overlooking Central Park. Shopping. Pub. The Ramones turn out not to be dead and play a barn-storming two-hour set, with me dictating the set-list. Bed.
Monday: Lie-in. Concorde to London. Dump missus at home. Spend entire afternoon in Elton John-style, unlimited budget shopping trip round Soho's second hand record shops with no-one else allowed in. Home. Chinese and a DVD. Bed.
How would you spend your bank holiday weekend if you could do anything, go anywhere or see anyone? Add your comments below.
Tomorrow is the Sabbath, so I shall do absolutely nothing! I am going to rest my mind, body and soul and contemplate the wonders of the LORD!
I'm swimming on Sunday. Monday is work as usual, but I don't consider it unfortunate at all, on the contrary I enjoy my work usually and it helps the wellbeing of the country and its people so I can't complain! Have a happy weekend people!

Excuse me while I just throw up!
Now where were we? Oh yeh I am going to have a wicked weekend folks. I am going to paint the town red. I may test my talent as a graffiti artist!
I will watch you all get plastered, blowing your minds away with toxic substances that are sensationally disturbing and then when you are all competely wrecked and bed-ridden by Monday so that there is a deathly silence in the wide, green expanse of the country parks I shall have a picnic!
