Yes, the race to Friday night can take all your energy and willpower.
I guess my best Friday would be an extended Happy Hour in Formans Bar, Nottingham.
However, you could check out "RecipeJack" for some great recipe ideas:

Then you could always listen to "rave" music:
Friday Night is Music Night is Radio 2's light classical music programme presented by Ken Bruce, Richard Baker and Brian Kay.
But don't get carried away!!
