Movember

[semi-pro waster]

You may or may not be aware that Movember is rapidly approaching but this time round I've been talked into taking part, I say talked but it was more of a slightly hungover "do you fancy doing Movember this year?" - "yeah, alright". Oddly enough the mate who suggested it seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth but I'm still hopeful he'll pull through and join me on this voyage into beardy-weirdiness. Anyway, pointless backstory aside forget the silly name as it's a good cause, prostate cancer is a disease that affects huge numbers of men across the UK and World with any money raised from Movember going to Prostate Cancer UK. If you'd like to donate, take part or even just to have a laugh at my doubtless feeble attempts to grow facial hair then my page is here and from there you can do all those things.

A picture of what I'll look like at the start of the month, barring any horrendous disfiguring/improving accidents is below so viewers of a sensitive disposition are advised to look away now.

With two members of our family fighting this at the moment I'll sponsor you. Am sponsoring someone already but is such a good cause.

Danke schön. All the best to your family, I hope they make a full recovery.

I shall be throwing a few quid towards this worthy cause. My Grandad was diagnosed with prostate cancer earlier this year.

I'll try and throw you a few quid when I get paid SPW

Thanks for the support and it's great if the charity gets some more donations. Incidentally I've now heard from my mate again and he's onboard for growing some chin fluff.

Update time, it's the 1st of Movember and it's on like Donkey Kong. I've had my last shave for a month this morning so it'll be hello to itchy face in a week or so. I'll try and remember to update every week or so to give everyone a bit of a laugh.

I'd give this a go but I'm at a wedding next week and it wouldn't be fair to turn up like an unshaven tramp. Maybe I'll join in for the last three weeks

Noooooo !!!!!!!

That's the first week down and a decidedly unimpressive set of whiskers from me so far, I guess I'm just trusting the follicles to ramp up their effort as it gets towards crunch time. It's a bit irritating and itchy though, I suspect I was right to do it this way as I can't imagine myself wanting to experiment with facial hair again. As promised the picture for laughs.
