Thank you “Chuffley Barndance” No comments yet

I have received my second donation from a mysterious person going by the name of “Chuffley Barndance”!

Here’s your cheers!  Many thanks, mysterious person!

Oh, and you can see I’ve had a buzz cut!  Thanks to Mum too - the saving on the haircut will be going in the pot!

It’s Children in Need today (BBC1 from 7pm)

You can donate to this very worthy cause here

More to the point, you may, like me, wonder what Pudsey Bear would look like with a beard.  Here’s my artists impression:

Not much going down on the beard front this week, apart from the lamb chops are growing, and I’m still shaving.

I did email Just For Men hoping to get some support to promote their beard dye, but I never heard back from them, so I’ll perhaps try Grecian, and any other beard dye manufacturers that I can find…..  Or perhaps I go technicolour?  I think it will be mainly brown, with hints of blonde, ginger and grey.

Must also get my finger out and sort out some Facebook pages and prepare to do so some “social networking” in the New Year.

I made this a while ago - Sideburn Monster.  Random?  Yes, definitely!

A momentous occasion – I’ve received my first donation via Justgiving!

I’d like to express great thanks to Mr John Horner for starting the ball rolling.

Thanks John!

Thanks John!

Well, the time has come to unleash Beardie Weirdie on the unsuspecting public.

For the duration of 2009, to raise some money for good causes, I am pledging to not shave any of my facial hair, and becoming a proper Beardie Weirdie.

The first charity that I have selected is the Pasque Charity.  The Pasque Charity incorporating Keech Cottage and the Pasque Hospice provide hospice care within Bedfordshire and surrounding counties.

The process will start properly on New Years Eve with a ceremonial last shave, followed up by weekly blogs.   Each post will contain a Beard of the Week, to pay tribute to a public figure sporting a beard.  Please feel free to email me nominations for beard of the week.

To see what I’m all about, click here

Please have a nosey about the blog site, and feel free to leave any comments.

Here’s me.  I’m currently sporting chopper sidies.
