Ha Ha - just a thought Alan. You get a much better finish you know!🙂
 
Shame I would have sponsored another tenner for the waxing as well:D
 
Well Alan - thats a good offer? It doesn't hurt much - honest!🙂
 
Alan, are you still talking to us???!!!!

Haha! Yes, of course! :D There'd actually be little point in waxing my legs, I am not a hirsute individual by any stretch of the imagination. One of the reasons there's be no point in me participating in Movember, because it would take about a decade for me to grown any facial hair discernible from more than a metre away (my dad's the same!). That's probably also a reason why I might make an exceptionally pretty and convincing Diabetes Fairy - hope I don't get any propositions on the way round! 😱
 
There are other ways to remove hair on legs - I know someone who used to use tweezers, then there is cream (smells aswful or used to) and then there are pads which can only really be described as sanding disks - I suspect that they are not recommended for people with diabetes.

Sorry - that was a bit of a random post.

Edit - I see my post is a bit redundant

I have chosen to cover up what hair I have on my legs with a fetching pair of stockings 😉
 
I felt so guilty about teasing you about the waxing I just had to make another donation......I'm so impressed with what you're prepared to put up with to raise funds for DWED🙄. As I've always had problems with my weight I just feel myself so fortunate that I didn't have a eating disorder. Now for another fundraising attempt - we could have a sweepstake as to how many propositions you do get on the way round:D I think if you the fairy outfit is as good as in your avatar then you will get three propositions.................I'm running now because I get attacked by the diabetes fairy wand😱

OMG you're not going to wear a suspender belt are you????!! My mind boggles. Actually you've just reminded me of the time that my dad dressed up in a mac with nothing but underwear and suspenders underneath (or something similar)............it was for a charity carnival

Thank goodness it wasn't for his usual night down the pub with his mates! 😱 :D

No, the stockings are the 'hold-up' type and come to just above my knees - hey! You're getting all my secrets out of me! :D

Aw, thank you Amanda, that really is very kind of you 🙂

As for the propositions, I'm going to try and blend in with some (genuine) girl fairies so I'm a bit less conspicuous...do you think it will work? 😉

p.s. laughed at your comment on the donation!
 
Well I suppose for the laugh you have given us and the stockings I should donate again too - I will do it later today Alan.🙂
 
Good news Alan my friend is going to donate tomorrow 🙂 sent her the link to your blog to read. Next month we will donate more as your blog is better than buying a newspaper! Really pleased as she doesn't even have diabetes in the family.

That's wonderful news pippin! Thank you very much, and to your friend too, I'm pleased you are all enjoying the blog 🙂
 
Haven't forgotten your extra tenner Alan - bare with me as not too well today. Will post it this week sometime.🙂
 
Having read Alan's blog today I think it would be an absolutely excellent idea for him to test out his full running outfit at the Oxford meet. He would then be checking it out for comfort amongst a supportive group of people (who will hopefully have cameras so that the photos can be posted on here:D):D:D

Apparently there's an ancient statute that forbids anyone from Yorkshire dressing as a fairy in Oxford, so I will have to suppress the urge 😉🙂
