Fundraising for Ebony-Eyes

[SOAD]

Posted on behalf of cannonwoman

Hi All,

As many of you are aware "Ebony-Eyes" are in need of funds to help repair the damage they sustained during the high winds & build new enclosures for their bunny residents.
So here`s a competition with a difference for you........................ I`m going to have my hair shaved off!!!!!
:shock: And you`ve got to guess the weight of all my hair!

At the moment my hair is 22 1/2 inches long, it will be shaved on a no:3 which will make it 10mm all over. Attatched are 2 photos to help with your guesses:

We ask £4 for each guess & the winner will recieve £20 worth of goodies for their bunnies.
Once you place your guess i will pm you Jaypots address for the cheque to be sent to, payment can also be made by paypal if you wish.

The closing date is midnight on 31st May & the winner will be announced on June 1st & thier prize sent to them.
(If there is not an exact guess then the winner will be the person who guessed the nearest).

Happy Guessing,
Su.x

For those of you who haven`t seen my posting in `General chat`, I will also be contacting some cancer charities who make wigs for cancer sufferers to see if they want my hair.
So hopefully 2 charities will benefit from my madness. :D

Have you raised much so far!!! you should get loads for what you are doing!!! :wink:

[cazza]

ill stick to my 1 guess too

[cannonwoman]

O.K, so after asking people for their opinions on how much i should ask per guess it has been voted that i should lower it too a minimum of £2.

So if people who`ve already paid £4 want a 2nd guess they can, though obviously if you want to donate more that would be great. :D

Before I do my guesses, how accurate will the scales be? :? Will it just be to the nearest ounce or can they measure in parts of an ounce?

Hi Ali,

I will be using digital scales, so they will be able to measure parts of an ounce :D

Happy guessing.
