To not sponsor someone doing Movember...

when they didn't sponsor me doing a sponsored walk a couple of months ago?

It's not like I've not supported their charity at all, as I have sponsored a family member doing it, BUT I feel like saying a) F Off you didn't sponsor me and b) I actually did 10K on arthritic hips and knees while you've just not had a shave for a few weeks!

YANBU to sponsor them if the reason is you don't support the charity.

And as for 'just not shaving'. DH has grown a tache for Movember - he's gone full on comedy-stylee, he still has to shave the rest of his face, looks an idiot and has moaned solidily about how itchy it is. I've also not allowed him anywhere near me with a dead rat on his face

I cannot wait until he shaves the blasted thing off tomorrow - it's giving me the creeps

I have lots of friends participating in Movember and fully support the cause, but there are so many of them doing it that I could only sponsor one friend because I can't really afford to sponsor them all. I am doing a challenge for charity soon and don't expect people to donate, but it would be nice if they could. Gimmicky things like Movember are obviously not as difficult as a massive hike, but no less valid if it raises awareness at the very least.

Moustaches are back in fashion though - or maybe only in East London?

I saw a shocker of a moustache on the overground yesterday (shoreditch area) which reminded me it was movember as i'd not noticed many all month, or maybe they really are back in fashion in east London?!

Fannuary gave me a good childish snigger I have to say!
