Talking of beards, I caved in and cut Mr namsnanny's hair and beard today.
In reply to EllanVallen's post I took my revenge.
To explain, I was in a stand off with him over using (and ruining) my dressmaking scissors.
I ignored his growing locks, (even though I cant stand the orangutan look), so he upped the stakes in retaliation, and grew a beard.
Apparently he resembled Nicole Kidman to much, (gingerish) and just had to grow a beard, as he couldn't cope with the impending paparazzi attention.
I hate a beard, on him anyway, (which he knows) so 4 weeks later I've attacked him with some blunt shears.
He now has a basin cut, and a few lumps shorn from the thickest part of the hirsute chin.
Nicole Kidman eat your heart out!
CaroDane I missed your company today, and I would have come back sooner to see how your pimpley hooter was getting on.
But my beloved was a little narked with me about his new look, and disappeared whilst out shopping, for an hour.
He turned up in a coffee shop all smiley and friendly, chatting to everyone there.
Introduced me as his hairdresser

On reflection, there was a very flirty lady with a limp and a fetching bloody toe.
Spoke with an attractive Yorkshire accent.....hmmmmmm, remind you of anyone Bradfordlass72?
I know, I know, its the ginger beard it sends you wild
.
I'll forgive you this time. 
Now back to your poor throbbing conk. Have you tried ibuprofen gel, it reduces inflammation?
I was thinking of putting some inside Mr Nnanny's underwear.
He's wandering around here looking far to smug and its annoying!
Nighty night
