    I gave up chocolate for lent last year which I managed better than I expected.

    I haven't given up anything for lent this year - perhaps I will do so on a delayed basis later on!!

    I gave up chocolate for lent this year and then on the first day blew it by eating a load of jaffa cakes - haven't looked back since! On a positive note I gave up alcohol on 1st Jan and have had only one slip off the wagon so one drink in 7 weeks I'm fairly impressed with!! Intend to keep going as long as I can as I don't miss that groggy feeling in the morning whereas chocolate - :EasterBun

    Oh lucky you with pay day tomorrow - I think mine is Friday - always last day of the month!

    Dog insurance - my big guilt - she is 16 - I pay £16.50 a month - DH says keep ins, I say cancel. Wont put money away - need all I have to make up to min. payments. But well done you for being good and saving it every month.

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
