We present a systematic method for discretising the Painlevé equations inspired by the method of Hirota (while extending it) and by that of Mickens (by specifying it to the case at hand). We derive various discrete analogues of Painlevé I and II. We obtain forms that have been previously derived as well as new ones, in particular, equations with a geometry described by the affine Weyl group E8(1). As a by-product we obtain also linearisable equations, some of which are new.
