Lent is approaching...

Postby pea on Sun Feb 18, 2007 9:49 pm

And although we aren't all religious, it's still a good time to give something up - chocolate, booze, desserts, or in my case, game shows...

So why not give something close to you up (not family members and suchlike, obv), and get sponsored for it? If you're giving something up you may as well raise money for charity at the same time.

I know of a few people who are giving up stuff (Simon and shaving, Riho and swearing, Adam and chocolate etc), so if you guys want to be sponsored for it, let me know and the hall committee can sort out some sponsor sheets or some such. The money we raise will count towards our final charities total. And remember, the more we raise, the more chance there is we get free booze at the Garden Party!

So give something up! Or just sponser someone for giving something up!

Reply on this thread if you're interested. It might only be worthwhile if we get a whole bunch of people doing it.

40 days and nights without shaving?

I would go mad and claw my own skin off before the middle of the second week.

I could just give up, I mean what is the point of living if I can't swear, or be blunt?

Junk food, mostly because it's costing me a bloody fortune.

Jenni! Don't put yourself through such a heartache!

As for Riho and Steve, are you guys willing to be sponsored or what? And Steve surely you can come up with something better than junk food?

Well, by junk food I mean buying food full stop, and just living off hall food.

Considering I brought this up ages ago, of course...swearing and rudeness etc. I think it'll be good to be sponsored and have a swear box type thing, every time I slip up I pay a certain amount, any ideas how much?

I suggest 20p... cos based on lunch you're going to be broke by the end of Lent if it's any higher.

20p x number of times Rhona swears in a day (never mind 40 days) is still going to be a hefty amount :P

P.S. I have not been blonde yet today.

In fact, I am reading all about the ontology of the construction of organisational reality :D *feels clever*

20p x the number of times I shave... hmm, I may be able to afford this!
