Have you ever known anything so satisfying as shaving another persons head?

Today I have rendered Mr B’s barnet into the texture of a large mole.
It is a fuzzy, and soft, and grade one lovely.

It makes me feel all relaxed just thinking about it.
Sighhhhh.

And he looks darn cute as well, in a ‘didn’t you kill my bruva’ kind of way.

It’s a real quickie post today as we’ve been shopping, watching Miss E do her 600 metres swimming badge (yay) and visiting M-in-Law, and now I’m off out to one of my bezzie mate’s mum’s 60th birthday.

Hi Celina, Happy Birthday. Hope we surprise you.

I also recieved this from my gorgeous friend Corey,

Isn’t it cute?

 

I have so many amazing blog buddies I don’t now who to pass it on to so I’ll think about it for a while, but thank you so much Corey. :D

And I’ve just joined this,

So in November I am going to write a 50 000 word novel in 30 days. It’s an attempt to make me really knuckle down and get creative, so wish me luck.

:D

Ok, I’m off now as I need to wash my hair and iron my top and I have 1 hour.

Arggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

 

No visits tonight but I will catch up soon I promise.

Oh and one more thing, I won Da Poppins fab bad sentence competition.
Hooray.
I think that’s a good thing right??

I mean, I meant to write a bad sentence. I wouldn’t normally write like that…

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    congrats on the bad sentence contest!

    Tips for NaNoWriMo (I was all gangbusters on it last year until I went into preterm labour and had to go on bedrest):

    - Aim to write at least 1750 words a day. A better day would include 2000-2500 words
    - DO NOT EDIT
    - Storyboard before November so you have a new scene to work on every day
    - DO NOT EDIT

    Good luck!

    Thalia’s child thank you soooo much for that advice. I will get going on it straight away.

    Cami, do it. I know it’s crazy. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do it, but goddamit I’m going to try. :D

    Hee hee, thanks Englishmum. Though I loved your entry. Hilarious. Fancy writing a novel?

    Avery, I am proud of my ‘Raw Buttocks Cider’. Maybe that should be my job…naming alcoholic drinks. Hooray, I have a t last found my niche. ;)

    Corey, thank you dearie. :D

    I shaved Spouse’s head once – the things is, you won’t be able to stop stroking it. I promise. You won’t. If Mr B is anything like my husband, he’ll get really narked after the 500th time!

    Congrats on the awards hon.

    My friend always does her hubby’s hair too but she forgot to put the guard on once, went right up the back of his head so he ended up with a reverse mohican! Of course she had to do the whole head then – that haircut lasted him a good while! :)

    You’re a shameless Red Carpet addict! :) Stop being so clever, vibrant, funny and downright gorgeous and we’ll all leave you alone! ;)

    Mya’s right, that number 1 feels so nice to touch – until they get narky.

    Btw, you get a nifty men’s hair cutter from Argos which straps to the palm of the hand – it works quite well but you still find hair days afterwards!

    Congrats on the sentence award. (I think) And dammit Jo, what is this novel in one month thing? I mean, I wish you all the luck in the world (and know that you’ll be brilliant), but what are you trying to start here???

    Hmmm???

    Mya, it is soooo strokeable. (I may have just made up that word. And Mr B loves having his head erm, no, I won’t put that, it just sounds rude, but you get my gist right?

    Napoleon, he will look a bit ASBO chic won’t he?

    Akela, ROF, a reverse mohican. I bet it looked fabulous. :D

    WFW we got our clippers from Argos too. I used to groom dogs so it’s quite nice to be using clippers again. I find it quite therapeutic.

    Cami, Kimberly, I’ll go look for you there now. Hee hee.
    I’m quite scared.
    What are we doing??

    RC, it’s kind of mad isn’t it? But it might just make me write, and that has to be a good thing?? Scary, but good. :D
