Sweets and crisps. I am currently stuffing my face with all the stuff from the cupboard. Feeling quite sick now but there's still some left and also some ice cream. Don't want it to go off during the time I'm off so I am working my way through it today. Has to be done! :pac:

I haven't given up anything for Lent since I was 6 or 7. I was always a bit of a goody two shoes as a kid but Lent was one thing that I wouldn't do.

Instead of giving up something, I'm doing something like more excercise or give some free time to a charity.

Can't give up my caffeine addiction, I'm not a quitter.

Giving something up you don't have anyway doesn't really count though

I usually make a point of drinking more. Will have to wait a few days as I'm currently in the Middle East! Damn!

What is the tradition behind giving things up for Lent?

Raised non-religious, genuinely ignorant about all this stuff

I remember in schools it was because you had to make something up or the teacher would give you something to pretend you gave up.

Jesus spent 40 days in the desert fasting prior to the Last Supper and his crucifixition.

Not what I'd spend the time doing if I knew I had only 6 weeks to live...

In recognition of their deity sacrificing himself to himself on a cross and in solidarity with him dying an agonising death to forgive them their sins, grown adults give up sweeties for 40 days.

I'm sure she'll never expect people to get meat from the Deli Counter on Ash Wednesday in the Ireland of 2015. Be sure she doesn't have heart problems before you give this mad stunt a go! :pac:
