well hello! as I am sitting here I'm eating jelly belly jelly beans- an invigorating experience! So far I'm doing well- the only mank flavour I've had is grapefruit (normally i end up with a mouth full of aniseed and toothpaste).
Neway having spent the week editing our uni news website (www.westminsternewsonline.com/wordpress if your interested- your probably not) I havn't had time to tell of what I'v given up for Lent (and how I'm going to cheat at it)
First of all, I've given up having "coffee and a cake together in the canteen at uni". I can have coffee OR a cake at uni, or I cant have coffee AND a cake not at uni, but not both at the same time at uni.
I think i should be able to manage that quite easily don't you? (Indeed today I coped fine-I had a coffee and dolly mixtures instead!)
My 2nd sacrifice APPEARS more hard core.....but it's not.
I'm giving up alcohol.
BUT
Jesus only spent 40 days and nights in the wilderness, there are 46 days in lent. Vis a vi I have 6 free drinking passes to use whenever I like! and considering I normally only drink once....maybe twice a week anyway.....I don't really think I'll be any worse off! Excellent!
I wonder if there's anything else lame I can give up....coffee flavoured jelly bean perhaps??? ewwwww.
