Find three friends who fancy a weekend on the continent with you - Paris or Bruges or wherever. With luck you can leave work on the Friday in time to take one of the evening trains. Take a picnic - all you need is a few goodies from M & S, a picnic backpack, and a couple of bottles of wine. A relaxed meal on the train sets you up for a great weekend!
