To wonder what you would give up

if you had to choose between sun soaked holidays (or any other holiday including weekend breaks), sex (including diy), sugar (don't forget that means no alcohol!) and sleep (knock one hour off your usual nightly quota) for the rest of your lives,what would it be?
For me it's a close tie between the holidays and the sleep,but my sensible side tells me,as an insomniac, I really should forgo the holidays as if I lose any more sleep I'd be carrying that luggage under my sodding eyes! So go on then what are you giving up,and remember it's for life not just for lent!

Not all alcohol contains sugar though. Vodka has no sugar for example.

Holidays. I've not had a holiday in 3 years BUT I work for myself: can choose when I work and can take time off at a whim and I have a lake in my extremely large "garden" so wandering around that is a break.

Sleep. I haven't had a good night's sleep since getting pregnant with my DD 4 years ago.

Holidays. I don't do them anyway as I'm terrified of flying and have already been everywhere I want to go and have a very privileged life at home that I'm happy with. im also no longer arsed about sex either, so that can go too

Try and deprive me of sugar n sleep tho......

I’ll do without sleep. Every time.

Life without sex sounds like torture to me.
Life without holidays is a basically working with lot of effort for no reward.
Life without wine would make the above two very much less desirous.

I like the way you think starabara but what if the lack of sleep make you too tired for sex?

Good call Mummadeeze. I would personally miss the sangria to go with that sun and sex though.

By process of elimination, sugar. It’s bad for you anyway and I would look better for all the holidays and sex. I would miss beer and wine, but would find a got to sugar free booze option instead.

sun soaked holidays

Sleep

I used to LOVE sun soaked holidays and I've travelled quite a bit. I used to have a great sex life! I used to LOVE my sleep and would look forward to my lazy Sunday mornings in bed, which included having great sex, and I also enjoyed a bit of chocolate/cake now and again because I went to the gym 5 times a week......and then I had three children in three years.

I've already given up sun soaked holidays, sex and sleep and I couldn't live without sugar now that and caffeine keep me going and sane!

Omg NONE.
Holidays are the whole reason I work
Sex- well come on
Sugar- wine and chocolate
Sleep- I wouldn't enjoy any of the above without a good nights sleep.

I would give up an hour's sleep out of that lot. Love the others too much.

Sex. I hardly have sugar except in the form of alcohol. If I had to keep only one it would be sleep. Lovely sleep.
