I need to think about this a bit. I mean I'm not prepared to give up chocolate, but I know I should try and give up something I like, and not just choose something easy

As I said in another post, I don't follow this myself as a religious observance, I just do it for fun. 

I'd better go and look up on the calendar when Lent finishes. I don't want to say I'm giving up cake and then find out I'm going to eight birthday parties. 

Any one else want to give something up for lent?

Start now, no time like the present. I gave that up when Elsie was born so I could be a good example to her.
