NEW...

New everything!

I am sitting at my new desk in my new room in my new house. :) We have finally got internet, thanks to the Virgin man for waking me up far too early!

I am still unpacking boxes and sorting things out in my room, like put up the rest of my posters. I will be finished by this time next month? Unpacking is LONG & boring!

The first poster to go up was this excellent purchase.

I'm 17 days into my hairy adventure and its looking gooooood. I'll show the world soon!

First fortnight fluff

HELLO!!

It has now been two weeks since I was last rid of any hair on my upper lip.

14 days later I am through the itching (hopefully) and can show you my first fortnight fluff.

I am currently not shaving at all. Let's see where it goes! I do, however, promise to shave the beard and sport just a mo for the 11th month of this fine year.

Sorry for the short post. I HAVE PACKING TO DO! (and the footy to watch!)

Apology

This morning I received an email from a member of Breast Cancer Care detailing how I have breached copyright by saying I am participating in "Movember". The Movember Foundation direct money raised to worthy mens cancer charities, but because I am not raising money for them, but for Breast Cancer Care instead, I am unable to use the brand name Movember.

For this, I would like to apologise, I am not associated with raising money for Movember (This year!!), but would like to help direct people in the direction of their website. One of the main charities associated with Movember is The Prostate Cancer Charity (TPCC).

So despite not officially participating in Movember, I will continue to grow a moustache to raise money for Breast Cancer.

Cheers,

That bloke just growing a mo.

The First 11 Days.

In my last post I announced my premature start to a hairy adventure. My last upper lip shave was on the 9th of September. 11 days later I have the beginnings of a large handlebar moustache. I have been taking a photo a day so I can see the masterpiece evolve. 

Today, I will share a few of those photos with you all. I have also chopped my mop-like hair, which is a clear improvement (in my opinion, of course).

Day 1

Upper-lip baldness (I miss it already)

Day 4

The regular stubble is apparent. Before my downfall into moustache addiction, I would shave at this point.

Day 8 

Moved past the first week checkpoint. In my work uniform, I got a compliment on my "moustache" from a regular customer.

Day 9

Longer mo, shorter mop.

Day 11

Today, Last shift in work, itchy face.

I will continue to take these photos for the duration, and will try and post them regularly :) Please keep donating!! 

For now, G'day!

P.S. Yes, that is an original Buzz Lightyear in original packaging from Disney in Florida after the first Toy Story was released!

An Announcement...

Good evening,

If you are reading this blog, you are more than likely to know that I will be growing a moustache in support of Breast Cancer this November. Now, I am pretty sure that I would be able to grow a moustache comparable to the following photo.

Clearly, this is a fake moustache, and actually brings back so excellent memories of a close friends 18th. (Yes, we dressed up as The Village People, what of it?).

Anyway, a Mo like that would be splendid, BUT, what if I started growing now? My last upper lip shave was on the 9th of September, so it could be HUGE!! I have posted this question on Facebook and as you can see, several people support this decision.

So, after some thought, I have decided to grow my mo from NOW, until the end of November.

Lets raise more money and awareness for an excellent cause!!!!

Thanks,

Your soon to be hairy friend.

Bye bye bro, have a mo.

Evening. Please excuse the short, brief post.

As many of you may be aware, my brother moves off to Uni tomorrow. He is off to study Photography at Leeds College of Art. I am very jealous, I wish I still had my whole degree lying in front of me! (His blog is here...)

Anyway, I thought I would prepare him a little with this emergency moustache.

Who knows? It might become useful for a spot of fancy dress in freshers?

George also found these for me when he was perusing the inter webs the other day. He needs to buy them for me ;)

OH! One last thing for George, this poster/ pic/ idea or whatever would be very suitable, I am sure that all of his new friends & flatmates will be very cool and "hip".

Anyway, its now very late, and I need to be up in something stupid like 5 hours. At least I can sleep in the car... LEEDS HERE WE COME!!! 

Night night,

HenryCharles.

P.S. "YORKSHIRE, YORKSHIIIRRREEE" (for you, Dad)

Historic tache!

After work on Monday I stayed behind to have a "quiet pint" with a colleague seeing as it was his last shift. I was then (very easily) persuaded to accompany him to Revs 'Bite night'. Turned into an excellent night, especially when he decided to start buying the bubbly! (Cheers Rob) :)

Anyway, as I was standing at work with a pint waiting for him to finish work, I received an email from my Aunt. She had scanned in a photograph of my dad from when he graduated. I don't think I can say much else about the photo, it really does speak for itself!

Handlebar tache is winning.

Despite the epic brilliance of this photo, I know that I have seen another snap of him with a similar tache. I shall continue to hunt it down!

If anyone has photos of family members with moustaches, I would love to show them to the world! (Get permission first!)

I am also going to make an attempt to photograph myself every day so I can make a video of my mo-grow. Pic one was taken today. (I will obviously need more than 30 or so photos.)

TTFN,

Henry.
