ENGLISH MUM: never knowingly undercatered

I’m special, me.

Well, some of the longlists are out for the Irish Blog Awards 2008 and bugger me with a fish fork if I haven’t actually been picked for something! I was always picked last in games (childbearing hips - my own personal cross to bear) so this means a lot. I’m in the ‘Best Personal Blog’ category, along with some very tough competition: the wondrous Grandad, lovely Flirty, Annie, Nats and Conortje to name a few, I’m also in ‘Best Food and Wine Blog’ along with Wee Jen and Manuel the Waiter. My mates Isitjustme and 73man have been nominated for Best Newcomer, and the lovely Annie Rhiannon is in the ‘Best Designed Blog’ too! Lovely Fat Mammy Cat got about a squillion nominations in lots of different categories and is bound to clean up. Well done y’all. Go us, eh? Champers! Pass the champers!!

PS: Just seen I’m in the list for Best Blog too! (along with 135 others, but hey, at least I’m there!)

PPS: If Fat Mammy Cat’s post on fox hunting doesn’t win the Best Blog Post award, then I’m a monkey’s uncle (and I’m not. I checked.)

tried to note this to you earlier but the server was rejecting me. Right: where’d I put that horseshoe and boxing glove.

73: Now stop, I’m a lover, not a fighter. Heh. It’s a petulant little fecker, that server. I’ll kick its butt.

Congratulations! Oooh - it’s all very exciting

I never got picked for games either - similar hip shape… Still, it was more time to gossip with my pals

Well done on your nominations haul. I am going to appeal to the judges however that one of your entries was previously used in another film, I mean blog.

Jen: Should we buy a new frock, do you think??

Moon: At least as big as the Oscars. But it’s Irish, so far more drink is consumed.

Tummy: Thanks!! Might have to buy shoes too!

Moon: It’s C. We all used to work together, remember??

73: OOh! Which?!

Knock me over with a feather, I am in a dizzy state of shock and feel a mistake must have been made….I just read it on your blog now. Well dome EM your nominations are not in the least bit surprising!

Nats: Well done you! Thoroughly deserved. Buy a new frock. I’m going to buy one even if I don’t go and just swan around the house in it!! x

BTW…we’ll need to have a conflab about the ‘arrangements’ for accom etc..although I’m still convinced the Bewleys Ballsbridge is the best bet…Ooooh so looking forward to meeting you!

Isit: Back at ya babe. Ooh yes, we do. I’ve still got to find some poor sap that’ll babysit!! x

Funny, I bought a dress today, although it’s probably not a big night out number. Think it might be time to dig out the spanx pants and see if I can still squeeze into that little black number…

Jen: Heh! I’ll need one of those full body wrap things if I’m contemplating squeezing into anything! x
