1st class travel, vintage wines and caviar, it will test me but i'll be strong

Abstaining from alcohol is what I'm giving up. 

I'm giving up take aways and weekday drinking!!  

 I is sad

Wow, Cinds, really? That takes...discipline, doesn't it?

lal: I remember when I was a kid, I told my mom I was going to give up liver and onions for Lent, and I got a huge lecture on being sacrilegious.

I often give up chocolate, or sweets. Have given up coffee before ( 

I have a quandary, though: For the second year in a row, I have a holiday planned  that falls during Lent (that's what I get for vacationing with teachers), and I don't want to be missing out on chocolate, desserts, coffee or alcohol while I'm on holiday.

I think I've settled on ice cream....but that seems a bit of a copout to me...

OK, I just re-read this properly.

Atta girl!

So, you're just going to eat out and stick to night time drinking? 

I'm giving up nothing for Lent 

....I'm on Atkins so I'm off everything already  

Awwww  

I don't do lent......

Nothing left to give up, is there?

 I make low carb versions of things Lori but its not the same.

Indeed.

I know. Been there, done that, gained the weight back.

Have you heard of/tried the Dukan diet? We're doing pretty well on that one, and can still have occasional treats.

Sounds perfick.....

I looked it up, it seems like a much healthier low carb diet! Great to hear its worked for you  Hmmmm... I shall have to look into this more.

I've already said eating out doesn't count  No drinking on a school night for me

Alcohol unless I go out. (how many hours is lent again??? ) No, really, im not sure how long lent is, but im not drinking unless I go out OUT.   I did quite well, didnt drink for the majority of january but then feb and my birthday , valentiens, cats birthdays came along and all that went out the window.  

I have decided to give up lent.

I think I am going to give up being beaten at games Hi Lal

Lent is from tomorrow Gyps and for 46 days, can you cope ??

I'm giving up playing losers *runs*  

Hi Baz......

That's it!

I'll give up missing the bus! 

 I'll join you on that one Lori

Saturday night Baz, me and Le will be intoxicated 

oh and hiya Lal  

Not sure that will make much difference 

 No! You can't! You gotta get your OWN sacrifice!! 

*makes a note to try for the bus on Saturday night* 

*makes note, trips Lori up on Saturday*

will with me 

*counts on Dame being too intoxicated to do any damage*

One of my kids' teachers told him today that you don't 'do' lent on a Sunday.....so anything you have given up you can have on the Sunday?  I've never heard that before.......

more than likely Lori
