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? Grin

Nowt, non-conformist, going to celebrate all good gifts coming from God. that is my excuse and I am sticking to it

I may try to do something positive instead if I can find extra energy.

Lent is overated. I'm giving up nothing

Jsmith99 · 05/03/2019 18:32

I’m giving up religion for lent. I started doing this in 1985. It went so well that I decided to continue giving up religion permanently.

HelmutFrontbut · 05/03/2019 18:36

I'm fasting between sunrise and sunset.

The Devil can tempt; I shall resist Blush

GoingToInfinity · 05/03/2019 18:42

Facebook and it's going to be a real struggle, which is exactly why I need to give it up. No idea what I'm going to do with all of the time I'd usually waste on it though.

Ilove31415926535 · 05/03/2019 18:45

I'm giving up ironing for lent. I feel it's for the best Grin

stevie69 · 05/03/2019 18:45

What's the point?

It strengthens the faith Blush

@Esaworry top plan Grin
I'm hoping that after 40 days I'll be so good at the plastic thing that I'll just keep improving, I'm not stopping at Easter.

The devil can never be as evil not add the Christian God.

AhFeck · 05/03/2019 21:27

I'm generally just giving up Grin

NoCanoe · 05/03/2019 21:36

I'm giving up my daily stalking drool of all Ant Middleton photos on the internet.
It's Lenten sacrifice. And that bluddy restraining order !😉

DailyBaileys · 06/03/2019 00:02

Baileys!

Lovingbenidorm · 06/03/2019 00:10

I’m giving up denying myself anything

DailyBaileys · 06/03/2019 00:10

...also thought about giving up my iPad. yikes.

DailyBaileys · 06/03/2019 00:28

OK -- I got it!
I am going to give up complaining.
Not really sure if I can do that for
40 Days and 40 Nights,
...but I shall try!
DH would be vv happy.

JaneJeffer · 06/03/2019 00:31

I’ve had to google Ant Middleton and he looks very devilish.

Don’t look at this NoCanoe!

So the devil is here tempting you.  What has he in his hand?
NoCanoe · 06/03/2019 04:20

Oooh, too late JaneJeffer!
Surreptitiously wipes drool away.

I didn't actively look for him, so I'm still good, I think. Smile

NoCanoe · 06/03/2019 04:21

But oh my thoughts!!! Blush

ADHMeeee · 06/03/2019 06:04

Not religious, here.
And I've never remembered what happens when.
But I do need to diet and exercise, badly.
I'll give up beating myself up for my weight.

Happynow001 · 06/03/2019 06:44

Possibly Mumsnet. I'm spending far too much time on here! 😬
