Does Lent start today?

[jampot]

Im planning on giving a couple of things up (MN included) for Lent but need to know if I start today. Im sure it is but read on here it was tomorrow.

Obviously I shall still be available on isketch and msn

yes, today is the first day of Lent

Tis Ash Wednesday today - so yes.

DD told me yesterday 'Mummy, a man is coming to put a black cross on our foreheads tommorrow, but it will wash off'

excellent - see you all at Easter xx

Bet you can't keep it up.

It's too adictive.

Try just a couple of hours a day - more realistic.
