pancake day and what shall I give up

It's pancake day today - officially it's Shrove Tuesday - 40 days before Easter.  Tradionally people would give up sugar, flour, eggs and fat so they mixed them together and have pancakes. 

Thanks to all these traditional reason, I have an excuse to eat lots and lots of pancakes once a year.  My husband doesn't like pancakes so we barely make them at home.  But tonight....... he's got no excuse of not having them!  And I'd definitely start mine with Nutella + banana.

Fast forward a few hundred years to present days, what do people give up for lent now?  I hear a lot of people giving up chocolate, buying new clothes, alcohol and even fast food.  For me I was thinking of not eating meat and turn vegetarian for 40 days - another word I'm planning to do a bit of detox during lent!  What will you give up?
