I'm a Virgo, so executing plans to perfection comes as second nature (if I do say so myself), however, when it comes to weekend breaks even I could do without the hassle.

Sneaking time at work to book travel, accomodation and investigate 'fun' things to do can turn an appealing idea into a mission.

Loving then, Big Friday - a company that offers ready made weekend breaks, so all you need to do is book, turn up and go. There's a catch though. You've got to surf, too.

Big Friday's breaks are all centered around surfing, for all levels from board virgins to confident wave cruisers.

The 'Surf Bus' leaves from Hammersmith every Friday and embarks on trips to surfing hotspots in Cornwall, with themes including Surf & Yoga; Go, Sleep and Surf; and Surf and Spa.

From the minute you hop on the bus, everything is taken care for you - from food (surf and turf?) to accomodation to board hire - and you get dropped back in London on Sunday evening in time to get your school bag ready for monday morning.

Much more fun than sitting on your arse watching Saturday Kitchen and much easier than booking on Lastminute.com.
