    It's gonna be a long 6/7 weeks
    Mm.

    Giving up chocolate only to pig out on crisps and sweets is not going to really achieve much, ya think?

    Cool Re: What are you giving up for Lent?

    Ahhhhhhhhhhh the blissful simplicity of not having religion in my life. If I'm wrong, then the draw back may be that I burn in hell for all eternity, but at least I get to eat cake, drink booze and have my lights on for the next month

    Hmmm...the problem for you though Stokie, is that the lights are on but there is no one at home.

    They were giving me migraines. I never would have made the connection, ( I never used to get migraines) but luckily it was in the news.

    What will I do when the bulbs become become compulsory.
