I bought a nice Lemon Cake for my mum for Mothers Day and my family made me eat a slice as it wasn't chocolate. Upon mature reflection, ahem, I see the error of my ways and must also cross my name from the list. I'll still continue abstaining but rules is rules

Realised too late that I had just eaten a mars bar after my race today. Oh well, about 25 years giving up sweets for Lent and always broke out on St. Patricks Day. We're Irish ffs 0 -
-
Are all the pledges still alive or are people just not bothering crossing themselves out?
As for myself, I managed not to eat the Mars bar in Ballycotton; just put it into my bag straight away and didn't see it again until back home. The better half made sure I would not be tempted for long.
Almost there ...0 -
-
I'm still going strong. I'm thinking of keeping it going until after connemara. Then I will have the biggest bag of walkers sensations roast chicken crisps and a huge bottle of coke I didn't give up chocolate so I'll be ok on easter sunday . There again I don't really eat chocolate much anyway. Crisps were the biggie for me. 0
