• A Vegemite sandwich and a cuppa should fix the problem.

• You made the move and chucked the rug, and that really was the hardest part, though it might not feel like it at the moment.
  
  Try to look on your new hairstyle as just that: a new cutting-edge, very sleek and noticable hairstyle.  Don't worry about feeling exposed: enjoy it!
  
  I know it's easier said than done, but the feeling of freedom will come, and the feeling of being different will fade, to be replaced by a desire to be noticed for your bald head!

• Thanks Guys
  
  And very funny Aussie pun Mate.
  
  Yes I am starting to get used to it. I am going out tonight with an old freind should be interesting
  
  The thing that I am most noticing is the fact that I am not getting second glances because of the fact it is so normal and natural. I am still trying to get some colour in it it is still white.
  
  I am taking small steps and getting on with it. My friends and family already no that I have done it but havent seen me so hopefully that should subdue the reaction.
  
  I will keep you guys posted on what happens and put a photo on ASAP
  
  Thanks Mick

• Late but hopefully not too late: Welcome Mick, I'm very happy you've made up your mind and dropped the rug. I'm sure you're not going to regret it.

  Welcome to the freedom.  It's almost disappointing that people don't react isn't it?  You've done the right thing.

• Welcome Mick, great choice in ditching the rug/hair hat. It must have been like wearing an anchor around your neck. I bet you feel amazingly free now!

• Hang in there, Mick!

  I went out the other night and it it felt OK I went to a couple of Pubs or Bars as Americans call it, and I didnt feel out of place.
  
  Still very much getting used to it. But getting there I will see the rest of the family Friday night. I am glad I went away fro a few weeks though to get used to it myself first
  
  Thanks For the posts
