What are you giving up for Lent?

After today. I feel like giving up work!

glassortwo ...DITTO !!!

I tried wine last year as well as chocolate which I have given up since I was 4 yrs old...but I REALLY need my 'Eggheads' glass of white over lots of ice!!!

At this rate, I will be giving up hope!

I'm giving up giving things up!

In addition to giving up something for Lent we usually aim to DO something positive as well. A couple of years ago my husband and sons decided that they would start to give blood. As my husband and eldest son are averse (seriously so) to anything remotely medical this was a really big deal for them. Eldest son very nearly backed out the first time and had to be encouraged and cajoled through the door and my husband came very close to passing out, but they all went through with it and now donate blood regularly.

B****r all...

Nothing

chocolate, I will try very hard..... promise

Nothing

whatsis in a minute, maybe?

Chocolate, and indecision.

Yes! Procrastination!!! That is a good one!

Will get off arse now.

Thanks, Zephrine, that was lovely. It will be a long time before the snow leaves my bit of France, but in the meantime you painted a wonderful picture.

I'm giving up winter. I don't know what's going on in M.K. Jess M but up here I have Crocus, Snowdrops & Hellebores out, soft furry buds on pussy willow bursting through, daffs up and with buds on, shoots visible on roses and clematis and loads of other things showing signs of spring. The birds are chasing each other around and I have just seen a blackbird pulling beakfuls of moss out of the lawn (says a lot about my lawn) and flying off with it and the Jackdaws are poking sticks down next doors chimney.

Cripss, nuts, chocolate and cake - more to do with a target weight loss for Easter than any religious significance.

I think you should consider carefully whether or not to give up procrastination sewsilver. Maybe next year?
I am always trying to give up negativity. Scared of turning into someone who reads the Mail.
Oh bring on spring Bagitha please. Other than a few timorous crocuses there is nothing going on here.

I looked up "Lent" and discovered it's from the Old English word for Spring. Sounds like a time to revel in the world's renewed warmth and abundance after the deprivations of winter to me.

...but, then again....

..you'll probably give up procrastination...eventually.....

Negativity and procrastination. Wish I could.

I shall endeavour over the course of the next year to start doing something really subversive so's I can then give it up for Lent and feel really righteous....

glassortwo that is exactly what I and DH are doing! Good luck

No need to apologise- I just thought people might miss it if it were not in the right section.

Ooops sorry greatnan

Shouldn't this be in the religion and spirituality section?
