Time to spruce up the old homestead
You know that bare wall in your flat? The one you sometimes stare at for hours, contemplating the surreal and bewildering nature of your lockdown existence? You should put some art on that. Not just any art, either. Famous-person art. You have until next Wednesday (May 6) to snatch a print by a big-name photographer like Martin Parr, Juergen Teller, Elaine Constantine or Charlotte Wales, for just £100. The whole thing is raising money for UK food banks, so you’ll feel like a certified Good Person every time you glance at your new picture.

Demand sweetness
Enough’s enough. This lockdown has pushed you far enough. It’s time to take back control of your destiny and become the master of your own fate. How are you going to achieve this? By ordering a load of ice cream to your front door. Nothing says ‘this quarantine does not define me’ quite like lavishly spending money on desserts. Go on, show the world who’s boss (you are, you’re the boss).
