What have you given up for 40 days of Lent?

[sandyRoe]

I live such a frugal and abstemious life already that I can't really see anything to give up. So, I've dusted down my hair shirt and I'll wear it for the next 40 days.

I need limit my intake of cheesecake, chips, crisps and chocolate but for the next 40 days I promise to refrain from abstaining of the aforementioned foods.

I might go with no fish on Fridays . . . nah.

when is it by the way,anyone know?

[sandyRoe]

Lent, do you mean? It started yesterday.

I'm going to give up feeling sorry for believers, I think I might be able to manage that for 39 days, but I will need the odd reminder.

I was thinking of giving up atheism. I've been flirting with the idea of an all-powerful, all-knowing, benevolent super-being who silently protects me from harm and who has my long-term interests at heart.

I might give up disbelief for a while and see if my life becomes noticeably better... I'll let you know what happens. Fingers crossed!

Just be glad you're not Rick Astley!
