    Yep, I'm in. Not sure it's going to be a mighty Mo though, if past experience is anything to go by. More a dirty mark on my top lip :oops:

    I had a big bushy beard this summer and had to shave it after a trim cock up. :(

    Gawd its slow regrowing....

    Edit... is the old archery phrase "c*ck up" banned? :?

    First day post-shave today (gave it a bit of growth to begin with). Having SERIOUS second thoughts. Have already been sponsored though, so can't see a way out. Arrgghh!!!!!

    How's everyone else getting on?

    Mine shall be awful but worth a go, not often you get to ignore shaving for a month!

    Am somewhat worried though, does facial hair put me one place higher on the FCN?

    I'm still in the growing it all faze before I sculpt and style it which will be tomorrow probably, but basically its pathetic and will require no scuilpting or styling, still It will make me feel proud, manly, and very attrictive to burds!

    How are you guys going about getting sponsorship? I can't even find a sponsor form on the Movember site? Surely all donations do not need to be online...do they?
  • gert_lush

    I just sent around a link to people and everyone has done it online through the website, I believe they give you an address somewhere to send cheques to if that's easier.
    If there was anyone who wanted to sponsor me that cant do it online I will just collect the money from them and then sponsor myself online for the same amount.

    5 days in, mo looking lame still!
