We Won!!!!!
 
 

As some/all of you know I go sailing in Oxford and we are fundraising for a new more accessible pontoon. Tonight at 6pm our group will be featured on local itv news (Thames Valley Tonight) for the peoples millions and we need people to ring and vote for us to win a grant towards this. [...]

I did the most wonderfully outrageous and somewhat drastic thing this afternoon.  I had my hair chopped off.
It was just below my shoulders and now the longest bits are chin length with lots of shorter bits.  And it totally rocks.  Pictures soon, promise.

More later.
