What are you giving up for Lent?

Nothing . I give up a lot already

Pancakes,as I have just eaten far too many!

But on a serious note, I haven't decided yet, and I know that times running out. I have a couple of things in mind, I will sleep on it and make my decision tomorrow morning.

When I collected my 6yr old GS from school he informed me that he was giving something up for lent, I asked what he was giving up...he replied seriously cheese ..... but you dont like cheese...... well thats why I am giving it up.... Dont think he had quite understood

Yes he did glassortwo!! Priceless

The awful thing is that I don't think I've ever given anything up - and I don't think I'll bother this year either!

Sex!

I should say wine but I think it will have to be chocolate.

Nothing.

Nothing here either..

Shouldn't this be in the religion and spirituality section?

Ooops sorry greatnan

No need to apologise- I just thought people might miss it if it were not in the right section.

glassortwo that is exactly what I and DH are doing! Good luck

I shall endeavour over the course of the next year to start doing something really subversive so's I can then give it up for Lent and feel really righteous....

Negativity and procrastination. Wish I could.

..you'll probably give up procrastination...eventually.....

...but, then again....

I looked up "Lent" and discovered it's from the Old English word for Spring. Sounds like a time to revel in the world's renewed warmth and abundance after the deprivations of winter to me.

I think you should consider carefully whether or not to give up procrastination sewsilver. Maybe next year?
I am always trying to give up negativity. Scared of turning into someone who reads the Mail.
Oh bring on spring Bagitha please. Other than a few timorous crocuses there is nothing going on here.

Cripss, nuts, chocolate and cake - more to do with a target weight loss for Easter than any religious significance.

I'm giving up winter. I don't know what's going on in M.K. Jess M but up here I have Crocus, Snowdrops & Hellebores out, soft furry buds on pussy willow bursting through, daffs up and with buds on, shoots visible on roses and clematis and loads of other things showing signs of spring. The birds are chasing each other around and I have just seen a blackbird pulling beakfuls of moss out of the lawn (says a lot about my lawn) and flying off with it and the Jackdaws are poking sticks down next doors chimney.

Thanks, Zephrine, that was lovely. It will be a long time before the snow leaves my bit of France, but in the meantime you painted a wonderful picture.

Yes! Procrastination!!! That is a good one!

Will get off arse now.

Chocolate, and indecision.
