With the sun shining, no work to get on with and free time at your disposal, we don’t blame you for taking a bit of downtime. Weekends are a chance to relax, ignore the email pile and get on with other things.
Of course, if you did spend the last two days away from the internet, then there’s a whole load of news and features you need to catch up with. Luckily for you, we’ve pulled them all together into one handy list.
All you need to do is make yourself a coffee, put your phone on silent and spend a few minutes catching up on everything that you missed.
Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone you weren’t paying attention first time around.
