Story

Those that know me know that being married to a hairdresser means you are always last in line for a haircut  I’ve been waiting that long I look like Captain Caveman at the minute  

So, it got me thinking, what if I just shave all my hair off? That way I won’t have to wait for a haircut anymore  

That got me thinking a bit more. My thoughts were roughly thus:-

1. It would be really cold having no hair in this weather

2. Do I own a hat?

3. I’ll be proper cold if I haven’t  got a hat 

4. Imagine how cold it would be having to sleep outside. 

4. It’s mad how in a modern, developed nation so many people don’t have a roof over their heads and have to sleep rough..

6. Why don’t I try and raise some money for a homeless charity by promising to shave my head if I raise, say, £100

7. Debbs will kill me

8. Will deffo need to play up the ‘charity angle’ to Debbs. Make her feel guilty if she says I really shouldn’t do it.

9. Do Amazon sell hats?

10. I wonder if anyone noticed there are two fours but no five in this list

11. I wonder how many people just scrolled back up to see if there are two fours but no five in this list  

So to recap, if you lot donate £100, I’ll get Debbs to shave my hair off. All of it. Full upside down head. 

On your marks, get set, go!
