This year i thought to myself...do i want to give anything up for lent? Nah i can't be bothered, there is no point. This was until i was talking to someone about what they were giving up for lent and they said they were going to give up swearing for lent and they would put 5p in a pot every time they swore. Then at the end of the 40 days and nights they would give the money to charity which i thought was a good idea. I said that they would really struggle with that...but then they said they were only doing it in their flat. I felt this was a cop out...which in a way it is.
So to prove a point about how much of a cop out it was, i said i will give up swearing for lent and will put 5p into a pot every time i swear but it will be anywhere and everywhere. I thought i would regret this decision because i swear far more than i should and it is part of my vocabulary which is not the best thing in the world but it is a hard habit to drop. It is coming to the end of my first day of not swearing and my pot is already rattling quite a bit. After a quick count of the money i have 80p in the pot which means i have sworn 16 times today and that is after trying to swear.
I have a feeling this could end up being quite expensive.
