LENT

[wherefromreferee?]

Religious nonsense or not, it's character building. I usually go off alcohol, crisps, chocolate, chips, biscuits, cheese, fizzy drinks and sweets. Difficult, but good for the soul. I also keep it on Sundays, unlike some.

Well Ziggy, what way are you holding up!?

[ziggysego]

I'm really struggling. Most years it's not too bad, but I'm only a week in and suffering. However, I've resisted temptation and haven't broken Lent.

I am off the drink for lent (last thursday doesnt count as I had tickets to the darts and there is no way in hell you could go sober, god understands) and I am going ok. If it lasts I think I will try to go off it for as long as I can...

Our local priest said on the alter last Sunday that as the world is in such a state people were making enough sacrafices and it would be understandable if we went off nothing. i have taken this on board and went off nothing but in fairness since ive no work i no longer buy sweets or any luxerys havent bought myself any clothes this year!!!!

Still haven't broke lent nor will i as i have excellent will power but i tell ya going of sweets, crisps, chocolate, lemonade and chippy food is easy but try going off bread it is a nightmare. It is so difficult to find something for your lunch and it's only when your off it do you realise how much we need/use bread

A woman I work with has gone off bread. We're debating which of the two of us have the hardest Lent ahead of us. Naturally I'm saying me, but really...... it is her.

Bread? Man cannot live on bread alone but can he live without it?
Can she eat communion?
Instead of ham sandwiches at lunch does she just eat ham... what if she fancies jam sandwiches someday shes fooked.
Bread?

Is it correct that Sundays arent included in Lent (if you are fasting) ?

[longball]

Bread? 

[ziggysego]

Actually, I don't know what she's eating. Much ask her.

No, that's a cop out. Some people opt-out of Lent on Sundays.

No, that's a cop out. Some people opt-out of Lent on Sundays.

So how many days is Lent then?

I think it's 43 and Punk thinks it's 46. Don't think we settled that argument.

I thought it was 40 days & 40 nights
