So the devil is here tempting you. What has he in his hand?

[Litluts]

Whatever it is, you better eat it quick, as it's the last you'll see of it for 40 days and 40 nights.

What are you giving up for Lent?

Cambazola has Pinot noir

*and!

Thinking about alcohol

Anyone done this?

Nothing.

Ex church goer and been conned into giving up enough of life's pleasures to cover a lifetime's worth of Lents.

Nothing here too, don't believe in that bollacks

Ironing.

I might try to give up chocolate, but they sell such lovely little Easter eggs loose here in Belgium, and I've just bought a shed load of chocolate back from Vienna.....

Nothing, but my work colleagues and several friends have all commented that I have no resistance to cheese.

Rioja and Kettle Chips.

Heathens.

Chocolate. Nothing to do with Lent though, I'm an atheist; it's because I'm on a LCHF diet.

Crisps.

Alcohol - do it most years and always feel great for it.

9 yr old DS is giving up school apparently and DD (7) is giving up the IPad.....

Class A drugs and scuba diving.

Over-thinking

Takeaways/buying lunch out. Going to try and make health pack lunches and save money.

I figured I could offer my dismay at Brexit up to Jesus to cover it. I'm a Catholic- we fudge it after a bit .

Calories. I'm counting from tomorrow.

Restraint and maturity. Just messaged another hot looking guy off TopShags.com* because I feel like some attention.

*name changed to protect my blushes

Spending money

Nothing.
I did ask my boss if I could give up work for 40 days of lent. His answer wasn't very Christian like I must say.

Pray - An hour of Adoration every week.
Fast - Chocolate and properly fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday unlike last year's brunch fiasco
Charity - Make a point of doing some kind of good deed for someone somewhere everyday

Woooo! Love Easter.

Instead of giving up i'm going to try to do something positive, 30 min exercise everyday and put aside for charity or de-clutter an item everyday.

A jar of Nutella and a teaspoon

Biscuits. In particular chocolate malted milks or custard creams.
Actually I should probably just say all high gi carbohydrates. I'm a sugar fiend.
Thankfully not being Roman Catholic I can gorge without the guilt.

@CigarsofthePharoahs Maybe I like the misery . Gratuitous Father Ted quote there.
Which reminds me that dh and I need to watch the Father Ted Lenten Classic- "cigarettes , alcohol and roller blading ". I encourage everyone to seek that episode out.
