Starts on Wednesday so what are you all giving up?

You can be serious or make something up, I don’t care

I’m toying between giving up alcohol or social media.

An easy one for me would be sex as I seem to have given it up without actually trying to

I was brought up Christian Orthodox, and for us Lent is going Vegan for the duration. It's been a few years since I last did that though.. not sure what I'll do this year..

Chams or Socials

I plan to give up covering for others at work. I’m sick of bailing them out.

My New Years resolution was to reduce buying coffee on way to work to 1 per week so might stop doing that too

I normally have two, which suggests that I drink it for the sugar content, but it tastes so good that its so hard to even reduce the level

I'm not giving up as such but I always get a boots meal deal every day. This year I will give it someone on the street. A small gesture but will hopefully carry it on.

I "take up" rather than "give up".

Last year I wrote a letter everyday. This year, I'm going to ecobrick (Google it) and try not to buy anything in plastic for the bathroom or kitchen.

Giving up alcohol makes sense as I need to get a bit fitter for summer. Mind you, I failed miserably with dry January.

I can't drive so I think that would def qualify as a bad habit! I'm leaning more towards something legal, yet fun

This year I will be making a grand gesture and giving up nothing. It's harder than you think.

In a glass jar with a metal lid. I've found some great eco online traders.

Not religious at all but weirdly I do usually give something up for Lent.

Last year I gave up chocolate. I've previously given up alcohol, biscuits and sex (was probably the easiest one as had no sex life at that point anyway!).

Not sure what to give up this year. Maybe I will take something up instead.
