What are you giving up

jaysay · 05-02-2008, 08:57

Tomorrow is the start of lent, I know this is a religious thing, but a lot of people tend to give things up just as a challenge, I'm going to try and give up cursing and swearing, very time I see something really annoying either on TV or in the press, how long it will last I don't know. So what will you give up and how long will you stick it out

the thing is, if you deprive yourself of something it makes you want it more so you tend to give in, so you will probably find yourself swearing even more

It’s bad enough the government trying to screw us down without religious fanatics suggesting that we give something up for Lent.

I’ll give something up for Lent when the various churches give up some of their wealth to really help the poor.

I gave up going to Darwen for lent 2004

I was going to give up fizzy drinks but that seems pointless because I know it wont be permenent, so i need to give mine a bit more thought I think. I've always been pretty good so I haven't got much to give up really. Maybe I should give up indulging on food, I buy a lot of food and just stock my fridge up when I dont really need to.

Religion doesn’t really play a part in my daily life, nothing will be given up here, I’ll just cart on as per usual.

I've now't worth giving up......

I might as well give up on sex as it's that long since I last had it (my gfriend is in another country and not seeing her til Easter!).
