Happy new year to you all, we have had our Christmas break and we are now chomping at the bit to bring you a selection of greatness to get stuck into this week...
Consume: The Sales - Chosen by Lisa
get in there at the end of the sales especially in not so fashionable places as all the good stuff will be left at rock bottom prices! I'm sad that my local charity shops don't have sales
Theatre - chosen by Joao
Every Good Boy Deserves Favour
National Theatre
"Your opinions are your symptoms./Your disease is dissent."
A play about a political dissident who is sent to a mental asylum on the condition that he will only be released when he assumes being mentally disturbed. In the asylum he shares the room with a real 'mad person' that thinks he the director of an invisible orchestra. It is a rare opportunity of seeing this play as it needs an orchestra on stage playing the original score, which is not always easy to put together.
Exhibition - Chosen by Joanne
Cildo Meireles (until 11th Jan)
Tate Modern
A key instigator of Conceptual Art, Brazilian artist Cildo Meireles has made some of the most politically telling, aesthetically seductive and philosophically intriguing works of the last four decades. With a characteristic economy of means, he distills complex ideas into single objects or environments.
Theatre - Chosen by Jen

I knit London

The only way to cope in these sub zero conditions is keeping your hands busy and making a scarf to wear in freezing flat! I will be making the grenade purse i have had my eye on since reading about it in the Guardian way back in '05.
