IT'S F-F-F-FRIDAY

It's Friday guys, and it's a bank holiday so we have some suggestions of what you can do this extra long (and wet) weekend!

Festival - this horrendous rain we are experiencing can't dampen our spirits! There are four festivals to choose from this weekend and some great acts playing. Leeds and Reading festival have already seen revellers piling in in their hordes ready for a wet and very muddy weekend - with acts like Arcade Fire and Guns 'N' Roses they won't let a bit of rain ruin the weekend! LED festival in East London will no doubt play home to a painfully cool tribe rocking their barbours and wellies but still looking cute with a summer dress underneath whilst dancing to the sounds of Calvin Harris and our faves Goldfrapp and over South London on Sunday SW4 festival is one for all those ravers out there - the highlight will be a set from Fatboy Slim at the end of the evening - if you are heading down our tip is wear some comfy shoes!

Notting Hill Carnival - if you live in London this is a must - and even if you don't live in London, it's well worth travelling to the capital. Since 1966, every Sunday and Monday of the August Bank Holiday plays host to Europe's biggest street festival. Twenty miles of vibrant colourful costumes surround over 40 static sound systems, hundreds of Carribean Food Stalls and over 40,000 volunteers! Expect to be wowed! 

The X Factor - it was back with a bang last week with guest judge Geri Halliwell and we can't think of a better way to spend Saturday night curled up on the sofa with a tasty dinner watching Cheryl, Simon, Louis and this weeks guest judge Pixie Lott. The re-runs on ITV2 will keep you busy for the rest of the weekend!

Shopping!  - Okay this one is quite obvious but when its pouring outside you might aswell be indulging in some retail therapy! We will be taking shelter in the new Princes Mall Oasis in Edinburgh which has just opened and is packed with the latest Autumn Winter collection!
