    What are you giving up for Lent?

    Ok, I'm about as religious as your average breeze block, but seeing as we all had pancakes yesterday, I thought I'd take the opportunity to give something up for Lent.

    So that's me off chocolate for the next 40 days... that's ALL chocolate, not just chocolate bars but all chocolatey things, muffins, biscuits... the lot.

    Might hopefully do something to curb my snacking and get me eating more fruit and veg if I snack on something other than a Twix.

    How about you lot?

    I'm giving up nothing because I'm an agnostic who doesn't believe in Christianity.

    I fold for Hexus, do you?
