Pancakes and Resisting Temptation

Noone in the entire blogosphere today can possibly have missed the fact that it is Shrove Tuesday, or, in common UK parlance, Pancake Day.
I love pancakes AND they are a very clever way of using the milk and getting me closer to my Kermit-based goal.
I'm not going to bore you with recipe/instructions - you all know how pancakes work, so I shall instead just show you this.

Now, nothing good comes without consequences, there's no such thing as a free lunch and other trite sayings, so, in order to be allowed the pancakes etc, I shall, naturally, be testing my will power and giving some things up for Lent.
Those things are listed below - please feel free to offer enforcement/helpful advice/punishments etc until Easter.

1. Sweets

2. Cake

3. Biscuits (sweet and savoury)

4. Chocolate

5. Salty snacks/nuts

and, most importantly

6. Diet Coke.

(I have to go to a wedding in the middle of March and am out for dinner on 4th March - if I have to eat chocolate etc at either of those, then that's allowed in advance - no other exceptions, I think).

I've also just drawn up a lovely new budget spreadsheet to live my life by. I started it last Friday (which was payday) but it also seems like quite a good Lenten resolution.
I obviously hope that it will extend well beyond that and that I will become RICH as a result.

Wish me LUCK!
