2. Buy an inflatable cow, paint it purple and put it upside down in your garden.

3. Watch TV all day, but in different rooms for different programmes. Then give each programme a star rating and tweet your review.

4. Go to Tesco and Instagram a some Haggis – "#EdFringe #Yummy #NoFilter".

5. Pay your landlord double this month.

6. Rename your favourite armchair Arthur's Seat, stand on it and look out majestically over the rest of your house.

7. Imagine the rest of your family are actually performance artists acting in an ultra realistic play about the pressures of modern family life.
