If you tell us you are intending to partake of the communion wine and wafer as a snack I am going to faint!

Nothing like a bit of self flagellation to cleanse the soul, Eldrick:-) BCXX

My mother used to put threepence in and but take change for a shilling. But she would have said sorry, so that would make it OK I presume.

Eldrick ,

That bought back memories...My mother told me she put half a crown in the collection box by mistake many years ago and had to ask the priest for it back ...she said it was supposed to have been a penny ..LOL

I think we would have starved had he not given it back .......!!

No, my mind is made up and I am resolute. When you think about it, you can sin all you want all week, get a clean slate on a Sunday then go to the pub. I don't know why more people don't do it.

Anyway, I like being pious. You can't get into bother when you are all saintly and good.

No, I mean it. I'm a reformed character altogether. I like the idea of the church bit - if I slip up through the week, like say a naughty word if I hit my thumb with a hammer, I can say sorry and ask to be forgiven on a Sunday morning and all will be well. Sounds like a good deal to me for the sake of 20p in the collection tray.

Humility and contrition has it's price, a burden that is worth paying for.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts my lovely friends. I must dash - I have to go and cut some birch twigs and finish off my hair shirt. I also need to gather some more thistles for my bed and look for a new cilice on eBay.
