The weekend is a time to unwind and relax after a (potentially stressful) week at work, right?

But, when it comes to recharging our batteries, are we making the most of Saturdays and Sundays and making sure we’re recovered and raring to go when the alarm clock goes off on a new work week?

The weekend is often the time to meet friends and enjoy a social drink or two, especially in the summer months when the sun is shining!

“Happy weekend! Life is short, grab a friend and do whatever excites your spirit.”

“Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.”

“Five days with you, two days with your family.
