Are you giving up for Lent this year, or have we made enough sacrifices?

I do try to give something up or make some change or sacrifice during Lent.

Not this year, I’m making a concerted effort not to drink during the week, snacks and chocolate are weekends only.
No gym, no restaurants and no holidays, no hairdresser.

I think I would be thoroughly miserable if I gave anything else up.

Perhaps we should all do the opposite and have 40 days of feasting.

Maggiemaybe that’s a good one-my phone is always on the seat next to me and it’s easy to give in to temptation.
I like your idea of trying to use time more productively-especially now it’s getting lighter, so I could also give up procrastinating.
