I've done...

...as much as I can in preparation for my Big Shave on behalf of the Little Princess Trust (they will be getting my hair and you can sponsor me here) and MacMillan (the reason I'm going totally bald and you can sponsor me here).

I need to find some appropriate "good quality shampoo" with appropriate nutrients (so I'll have to remember to ask the hair cutter next time I see her), a suitable SPF 50 sun cream that's approprite for newly bald heads as opposed to body and a variety of hats that I can wear to stop me scratching myself raw as my hair grows back.

I'm hoping I'll make it a regular thing, but I'm not thinking too far in advance just in case I decide against doing it again after the first time.

So come on, who's going to be my first sponsor?

My plan until bedtime, is to...

I've had a busy afternoon so I'm gonna spend the rest of the afternoon until pill-time tonight is to do a bit more admin with the two hair cutting and shaving packs... not all of it, but I wanna get a bit more sorted out while I'm recovering until bedtime.

Wish me luck!

I've just...

...unofficially weighed myself and I've lost 100g since Monday which I know doesn't sound like a lot, but it's the wrong direction, so it'll be creamy hot chocolates for every drink for the rest of this week to try and put on over 300g before Monday.

I'm not complaining about having so much chocolate, just disappointed that my weight is going down rather than up, like I'd hoped.

Mornin' all

I've woken up in lots of pain, I'm itchy all over, my memory is shot and I'm just generally feeling bleh.  I've popped my 10 morning pills though and I might use the spray too if things don't pick up before my morning carer leaves.

Yesterday's 3 videos have been downloaded and saved so I just need to compress them now.

Gonna put my FitBit back around my ankle then take the first video of today in the hopes that I can get that downloaded, saved and compressed today too.
