Re: It's Lent!
I read this as "lint' and suddenly I am awash in domestic guilt, feeling the need to vacuum in dust.Or I could just ignore it and get back to reading....
I'm still trying to get off the last two pounds from my New Year's resolution and NOW they are telling me I have to give up something else?
I don't know who is running this conspiracy but we need to have a chat...

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?
I will be giving up telling people how to spell arguing.

Do what you like in life, nobody's looking over your shoulder...apart from your own conscience.

I just answered the question.
Actually, I'm giving up nothing.

We can give up nothing together.
