Help!

[John Kennett]

I don’t normally do this sort of thing, but I need to dig myself out of a hole so here goes!

A couple of years ago my teenage daughter Flo was complaining about her hair and I jokingly suggested she get a sensible hair cut like me, a simple number 2 clipper cut.

To say she was unimpressed would be an understatement which was a good thing because I have been banned from any involvement in my children’s hair since I gave my son a crew cut aged 18 months. He and I were happy with it but other interested parties were seriously displeased.

Anyway Flo has recently decided that it would be a good idea to shave her head after all, and apparently it’s my fault so I’m in trouble again.

She’s doing it to raise money for Medecins san Frontieres, which is a fantastic cause so maybe it will turn out OK. If you would like to chip in a few quid to help make it all worthwhile it would be very much appreciated!

That girl needs all the help she can get - with you as her guiding light ;-)

[John Kennett]

She's just fine. I'm the one that needs help!

Although I think it is a great gesture all round i also think its a little unbalanced. There are many supporters on here that support other well deserving life saving charities e.g. RNLI on an annual basis.
Good luck to your daughter.

Thanks for your support Billy!

With just a week to go until the grand shearing I thought I’d indulge in giving this unashamedly unbalanced thread a quick bump.

If anyone would like to drop a few quid for an excellent cause and get a freebie RIBnet Supporter upgrade as a little bonus there’s still time.

Good cause and I’m all for practical haircuts...

So the deed has been done. Flo has raised over £600 which is more than she ever imagined, and it looks like I’m off the hook. Thanks to everyone who chipped in.

Excellent.

As a final note, the hair went to a good cause too! The Little Princess Trust is a charity that makes real hair wigs for children affected by hair loss.
