The Daily Poll

Poll: Did you manage to give anything up for Lent this year?

Did you try?

WE’RE NEARLY THERE. Just over 12 hours to go before Easter Sunday (if you’re really counting the hours).

For many of us – whether religious or not – the traditional six-week Lenten period provides an opportunity to step away from the chocolate boxes, put away those cigarette packs, or pass the bar.

So – did you manage to give anything up? Did you try?

Poll Results:

I didn't pay it any notice. (4224)

So far so good. I've been sticking to my goals. (1479)

I tried. I failed. (915)

Haven't let a pancake pass my lips since 17 Feb. (305)
