no. however the moon appears to be full for longer. but infact its actually wanning or waxing.

Technically a full moon only lasts a moment but it looks full for about three days.
The moon appears full for more than one day because the term "full moon" refers to the moment when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned in a straight line, with the sun illuminating the entire side of the moon facing Earth. The moon takes about 29.5 days to complete one orbit around Earth, so it appears full for more than a day as it continues its orbit.
New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter are the four phases of the Earth's Moon.
It was a first quarter
For August, 2014, the full moon will be Aug 10 at 18:09GMT. It would be difficult to distinguish visually between the day before, day of, or day after the full moon; any of these would appear to be a full moon.

As you didn't specify a location I assume London. On this date it was last quarter not a full moon.

A day on the moon, known as a lunar day, lasts about 29.5 Earth days. This is because it takes that long for the moon to complete one full rotation on its axis.
New moon will just have passed and it will be a very thin crescent Moon. So, it's the "waxing crescent" phase.

Cut yoUr hair on a full Moon Day. Hair grows more on a full moon day then anyday. if it wasnt for the moon your hair wudnt b able to grow 1/4-1/2 a month...
The moon shape waxes (gets bigger) from New Moon (no moon visible) to a thin waxing crescent, to the First Quarter (about a week later - half lit) to Full Moon ( about week after that) and it wanes (shrinks back) to the Last quarter and then to a waning crescent, to New Moon again. This cycle repeats itself every month or 29.5 days, more specifically.
