Christmas cut above!

Peter Reid is feeling like a millionhair after losing his locks in a Christmas headshave at Happy House.
He's brought in more than £600 for our family by seeing his 'fro go!
Papa Dave brought in a local barber to do the deed as part of our festive celebrations, but first Janet, Rukia and Jedida unpicked the braids they'd done for him on Monday.
Then with kids all around, the barber got to work shearing through months of carefully nurtured curls.
As the pile of hair falling to the floor grew, the cheers got louder.
The barber carried on cutting and getting towards the end, we conceded by letting Pete keep just light covering but only if he had an HH for Happy House emblazoned to one side.
Peter, a Lytham businessman who is visiting happy House with his wife Joanne and son, Jacob, lost his hair when he had chemotherapy treatment for cancer. It took some growing back, so to put himself through losing it all again means a lot to us.
But Peter, who thankfully has been given the all-clear from cancer, feels a cut above having raised his target towards the new classrooms we need.
Thank you Pete for being such a good sport and to all your friends who supported you with sponsorship.
