Silver surfer!

I sprayed the beard silver for work today, hoping to encourage people to donate to charity.

Unfortunately it didn't encourage any more donations but I'm pretty pleased with the modest amount raised in a short space of time and would like to thank all who were kind enough to want to help children suffering from life-threatening illnesses by donating to East Anglian Children's Hospices.

The donation page is still open for a few more days (i.e. until the beard goes away at the start of ther New Year) - http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MarkTowers


I think I said it yesterday, but I'll say it again....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

When I was 21....

It is probably about 15 years since I left my face fluff growing for more than 10 days.

Oddly enough that was before Christmas too - I've probably got some photos of this last half-decent attempt stored away in a shoe box in the loft! Maybe if I get some time spare I'll find it, scan it (because it's pre-digital) and post it on here (or on my sponsorship page.)

Beardy weirdy xmas challenge

Yep -I'm going to impersonate a GCSE Geography teacher by growing a beard for the festive period! All I need is a jacket with leather elbow patches and I'm there!

Actually, I'm using my facial fluff for good. I'm hoping to keep it until the end of the year and in doing so will be raising funds for East Anglian Children's Hospices.

the link to my online donations page is below.

Although I'm adverse to having my photo taken (not many on my blog is there!) I will endeavour to take a few update piccies and put them on here. I've already added on as my profile photo on my donation page.
