i nicked this from a mumsnetter on facebook and think its an awesome idea.

who's in?

Thanks Kitty.

The thing with Movember though is that it is to raise funds for cancer research of the male varitey AND to make men more aware of health problems as they are notoriously crap at seeking medical help. Every second thing these days is revolting pale pink for breast cancer so we females are hardly being neglected.

So is fannuary just to be in competition with the boys or is there actually a point to it?

Something like Ovarian or Cervical cancer would be apt. I'll happily get sponsors, but I'm not sure how I'd go about verifying my gruesomely hairy Fannuary.

Nah, we're always hairy here. DH couldn't grow a 'tache as he already has one, and my Mary couldn't be hairier if I tried.

Actually, DH has threatened to dye his moustache a horrible colour for Movember next year. He thinks orange. I say purple. Maybe I could dye my twat purple?

Ds was saying yesterday that his male teachers are growing beards in November - what's it for?

What is Movember?

the men at work have progress photos all over the walls, can't bring myself to mentally picture the walls at work during fannuary
