In order to save pennies my dearest daughter has given her dad a hair cut this pm using hair clippers she bought him for Christmas.........he's now effectively bald. :eek: Both of them think it and my reaction is hilarious :rotfl:

As I type the sun is reflecting upon his scalp!!!!!!!!!!!! I am making him wear a "see you jimmy" wig until it grows LOL

    Fortunately hair grows and at this time of year more quickly, so it'll all be back to normal before you've even had a chance to get used to it. The pair of them have saved the household about a tenner, I'd say. Bargain!

    Probably saved a bit more as he certainly won't need shampoo for a while, a good duster and a bit of polish should do the trick for a while :o

    I don't see the problem - the 'Mitchell look' is quite popular with men these days :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I did that to my ex once, not long after we married!

    I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I think I did both, if I remember rightly.

    Don't worry, it'll grow back.

    Word of warning for him though - my ex didn't half get some stick from his work colleagues!

    I've got the knack of it now and even my dad let's me loose with the clippers! :rotfl:

    Got to admit he's better looking than the Mitchell's (or maybe I need to go to Specsavers?) He is already getting stick as the two of them have sent photos to friends and family both with and without the See you Jimmy gear!
    Could I cite this as unreasonable behaviour and have the DD adopted and divorce the OH lol

    lol! I seem to remember mum's hair going slightly wrong (she was meant to dye it red - it came out black!) and dad's response was to take a photo of it and post it on facebook!

    You might get used to it. My dh hasn't looked back since he got his first set of clippers. Just to let you know that when we married (in the 80's!) he had a streaked and blowdried mullet. :eek: Not quite Pat Sharp but bad enough.

    I think he uses a number 2 attachment. I would like it a bit longer but he likes it - does it himself - and saves a fortune. He said he hates it when it gets longer now.

    A clippered head is so much better than a streaked, blowdried mullet!
