It's Lent!

I've just realised that this is the first day of Lent!

Now being a fine upstanding Christian type of person, ok ok so I'm not, but my mum and dad did their best!...when I was growing up we all had to give up something for Lent.
Heaven knows why...something to do with Self Sacrifice if I remember correctly.
It was usually sweets, which was great because I don't have a sweet tooth so no hardship there

Anyway I've given up APOSTROPHES for Lent!

So all you ignoramuses can post your photo's and moan's and it's and thing's and I won't say a word


What are you giving up then?

Booze?
Curry?
Exercise?
Argueing?

Re: It's Lent!

I would say Argueing but it would get boring ...
Then I would end up drinking .forget the exercise I wouldn't be able to walk a straight line ...With all the drinking and no exercise curry would make me sick ..
So I guess I would be better off ...trying to give up nothing ...

Re: It's Lent!

I don't think I ague an awful lot, so I must think which of my many other vices I could give up.
I wonder if I could try being kinder to Judd . . .


BTW, it IS only 40 days isn't it . . . we are not talking permanently I trust ?

Re: It's Lent!

Ruthio,

What a great thread.....

I am not Catholic so I don't know a lot about Lent, but I will google it and will have more knowledge.

I want to give up something. There is one thing I would like to give up and I have been trying off and on for years.

It is: Having an afternoon nap.

I think that is what I shall give up. Fingers crossed, if I get through the first few days, I will probably do well.
