HP SAUCE BACKS MOVEMBER

Tuesday, November 22, 2011

HP sauce have been in touch to let me know about their connection with Movember and it's great - they are releasing a limited edition bottle to raise awareness and much needed funding for men's health with Movember. The new label will be without Britain’s famous Houses of Parliament, making way instead for a top-hat clad British gent with an inspirational moustache. In conjunction with the release of their new look bottle, HP is giving Mo Bros across the UK the chance to celebrate and share their top Mo-moments on Facebook www.facebook.com/hpsauceuk - the most enthusiastic Mo Bro stands the chance of becoming the Gentlemanly Face of HP Movember, claiming £5,000 towards their Movember fund and a VIP trip for themselves and three friends to London. Throughout the month of Movember the HP Facebook page will also host a series of competitions and challenges aimed to Mo’tivate men and bring the Movember spirit to life. HP teams and individuals can have fun and embrace the experience, from bacon buttie adventures to celebrity inspired Mos, and then upload their most Mo-tastic photos to HP’s Facebook page – the best images will receive contributions towards their Mo funds. Mo Sistas can also get involved and support their Mo Bros – The People’s Choice Award for the best HP Mo Bro will be presented to the Bro who has receives the most ‘likes’ over the course of the month’s challenges. Registered Mo Bros & Sistas can get involved by visiting the HP Facebook page on www.facebook.com/hpsauceuk and find out more about Movember at www.movember.com

MOVEMBER COMPETITION

GET GROWING THAT FACIAL HAIR - I've started - there really is no excuse. For this month - formerly known as November, men (and women??) will start to sprout and sport splendid moustaches. This is all for a very good cause - check it all out here:- http://uk.movember.com/about. It is to raise much needed funds and awareness for men's health - especially prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. I have been thinking about my father hugely of late and no more so than today - the first day of Movember. He died almost exactly a year ago now from bowel cancer and we have all recently agreed that not having him around seems to be getting harder, not easier and we are all missing him hugely. He had one of the most splendid moustaches so this month will be hard. We all keep seeing similarities in other people .... SO why not turn a sad situation into something more positive. Could you please send in photos of your moustaches from around the world and at the end of the month we will pick a winner. I promise to give generously to the charity for the best moustache - I want your stories of where your hair growth takes you, who you meet and general updates over the month too. Let the battle begin. Ready, steady, GROW.... Here, in honour of my father and just to start things off is his effort. Beat that:-

My daughter has been crying for three days. She is completely and utterly gutted. Having been offered a pair of tickets to see Olly Murs perform, she is going to be away on holiday and is going to miss seeing the love of her life. Poor her. Oh well. She'll get over it I'm sure. In the meantime I'm able to offer two more tickets than I thought for the competition I'm running (which she thinks is REALLY mean of me) and can now give away two pairs of tickets to see him play at the Kempton Park Racecourse on Friday 12th August 2011. It's part of the summer programme Kempton Park Racecourse has put on and not only do you get to see him perform but you get to watch some horse racing as well.

I've got two tickets to giveaway to the new GREEN LANTERN film out in cinemas in the UK on 17th June. This is thanks to the Make Mine Milk team who have managed to get the gorgeous man behind the green mask, Ryan Reynolds to participate in their campaign. Is it a motherly instinct I have to want to lick it off his top lip? Or, um, not? The ‘make mine Milk’ campaign is making huge inroads into promoting and reviving our nations love for milk further still and their high profile celebrities are helping remind us all of its natural goodness. On that basis I am very pleased to be working with them again to offer not only two tickets to see the film but £250 spending money as well! The preview is going to be at a Leicester Square cinema (details tbc) on Wednesday 15th June. YOU MUST ENTER!! I'll be there with my kids. I hope Ryan comes with a milky top lip..... ANYWAY. Here's how to enter: * Follow @FamilyAffairs and @makemineMilk on Twitter * RT my blog post link and leave a comment on my blog telling me the answer to "What is the fat content of semi skimmed milk?"
