What are we giving up for Lent?

Here are just some of the emails I received back when I asked what some of the Bedruthan team was giving up…
Kate, Marketing Manager

Michelle (Acting Manager of Children’s Clubs and red Jelly Bean fiend)
Goodness give up red jellybeans – you HAVE to be kidding!!!!!!!! Is that even possible? Can I see myself do this for the entirety of Lent?! OK lets give it a go, the Jellybean Queen is going to give up red jellybeans for Lent this year….aarrggh what have I said!?!

Lisa (Best Dancer award winner at the staff Christmas party)
I thought I might just give up my life long dream of being a comedian as not sure it's working ;0) Could I give up my car? I do have a bike! Do I want thighs like a body builder? UMM NO! So I will give up nothing but I will start dancing every day ;0) xx

Anne-Sofie (A Great Dane)
Something as trivial as stop using sugar in my coffee…it does seem to keep the ‘have to have a sweet with the coffee’ need at bay.

Claire (Horse riding enthusiast)
Trashy celeb gossip magazines! Now, Heat, Closer, Look, Reveal to name but a few! Out of the loop on celebrity fashion and gossip for 40 days…this is going to be hard!!!

Kate (Domestic Goddess)
Sweet things. Let’s face it this is never going to happen in my life time and especially after receiving the new issue of Olive magazine! How about I give up rubbish TV? Yeah that sounds better.

Emma (A very busy lady!)
Too many commitments in the diary. Oh and sarcasm!

Suzie (Green Goddess)
Late night snacking on Edam on Toast and Marmite. Currently eaten every day.

Reception
We at reception will be giving up the following for lent:
1. our new years resolutions
2. kindness toward seagulls
3. remembering other people’s birthdays
4. Jack Daniels and coke whilst at work
5. what is left of our sanity
And possibly answering marketing emails whilst busy lest we be forced to resort to breaking #4
P.S. Michelle wants you to think they are just red jellybeans but once we saw a seagull eat one and it started speaking perfect Italian. It now works over at Sands Resort. Re: #5

James (Director)

Mandy (Front of House Manager)
Pav and I are going to give up chocolate. We have attempted this in previous years but with not much success (as you know how much we love chocolate). We are going to really give it a try this year and I suppose there will be not much chance of cheating whilst at work now that I have declared it to you all…
