Last night was for indulgence, and boy did we indulge. We just about managed to stop ourselves for 30 seconds to take these pictures of our scrumptious pancakes before launching into them hammer and nail. It was not a pretty sight.
So now we’re into lent, the season of self-control and renewal when we all have to face our demons and leave our vices far behind. It can be easier said than done though, you might remember last year Ali took on the mighty challenge of giving up nail biting. But alas Ali fell off the wagon – nice ring though.
So this year we’re making a group effort - for the moral support and all that. Most of the time we’re pure as the driven snow but on the odd occasion a swear word does slip out. So say hello to the innocent swear box.
For every swear word that passes the lips of an innocent (or not so innocent) team member that person will have to donate a few coins (depending on the severity of the swear) to the swear box. We should have a bob or two set aside by the time lent is over. So what are you giving up for lent this year? Chocolate, home & away, putting on make up in the car? Let us know and the best answer will get themselves some innocent goodies.
I am giving up being mean and critical about people. Instead I have to say something nice about them.
So when people are being stupid at work, rather than calling them poop heads that should be shot into space so aliens can eat their brains slowly, I am going to say that while they may not grasp the concepts, or when they write they don't use good grammar or punctuation, they have nice handwriting.
