Why wait? Have a Hairy Mary Christmas :)

My Dh just put this on twitter. Its always movember for him and usually fanuary for me all year round, especially in winter.

Thank you aldiwhore and I'm glad I'm not the only male to be tickled whoopsie! amused by this.

I haven't been clean-shaven for thirty-odd years but there the Andrewofgg tells all saga ends.

I have some questions

  1. Will this be done to raise money for charity
  2. Will people generally be posting pictures charting the progress of "fannuary"
  3. Will people set up a just giving site with those pictures
  4. Will people be circulating links to said just giving site to colleagues, friends and family to raise money?

Since I've got older I seem to find I can join in with Movember anyway....

We could call it "fanny's are us", and (on a roll) charge men people £5 a go to look at it Grin

AbsofCroissant · 23/11/2011 16:06

I suppose it depends on who's posting.

I'm just bracing myself, as there's always someone doing a charity benefit at work, so will be expecting fannuary updates come January. Switftly followed by HR exploding from shock. All of HR

WilsonFrickett · 23/11/2011 16:06

If we wait till mid-month - pleats and braids stage for many of us - it won't be rudey-dudey. Just hairy....

SarahStratton · 23/11/2011 16:08

Is there a Fannuary FB page yet?

MsBrian · 23/11/2011 16:18

Literally PSML at the thought of our HR department being faced with this Grin

I'm in for a Hairy Merry Xmas - can't wait till January.

MsBrian · 25/11/2011 12:09

Bump!
Didn't realise this apparently took off, just saw the Fannuary thing come up on a male friend's facebook status - he's being all sarcastic about it the twat

At 24w I've already given up on mine. Can't see it enough to keep it clear. Dh is shaving my legs for me...

Is there a fb page to link to/like? Def doing that!

PestoCaffeinisto · 25/11/2011 13:24

I knew this would be you Custy Grin

crazynanna · 25/11/2011 13:26

My son's doing this thing....he is growing 'The Trucker'

OTheHugeMjanatee · 25/11/2011 13:29

My fadge stays beautifully insulated all year round, thanks

Mr OTH takes the view that I'm a grownup and am supposed to have hair there, and besides it's my fadge so Grin

HopefullyDH · 26/11/2011 02:16

Can I just put in a quick plea against Fanuary? Or better yet you could ask husbands people to donate for waxember?

" nicked this from a mumsnetter on facebook and think its an awesome"

Oh! custardo do we known
each other!?

SirBoobAlot · 26/11/2011 08:04

"Shave your Mary then let it get hairy" is possibly one of the most awesome things I have ever read.

KittyFane · 26/11/2011 08:58

"grow it thick, save a chick" is my favourite post on FB!!
( for cervical cancer awareness obviously!) :o

SarahStratton · 26/11/2011 09:37

Which is the right FB link for Fannuary? I can see loads, and I'm scared of joining the wrong one. Confused

picnicbasketcase · 26/11/2011 09:40

And if anyone forgets or can't grow an enormous 70s bush - merkins for all.

KittyFane · 26/11/2011 09:44

fanuary

MarieFromStMoritz · 26/11/2011 09:45

What a bloody great idea Grin

Serenitysutton · 26/11/2011 10:01

What a stupid idea. This men vs women stuff on fb is stupid too.
