Award Time

What was it that I said at the end of my last award post? Now let me think. It was something along the lines of...

...if you receive an award try not to stash it away for too long - or you'll find yourself in my position where you've spent all day creating links and lists.

Well I'm so glad I took not even a tiny bit of notice of my own advice...because here I am with not one, but five awards and I just know this is going to take me longer than ten minutes to post. Serves me right...

It has to be said that I do already have four out of the five, but I still need to pass them on to some worthy recipients. And because this is going to take me long enough and you may even fall asleep before you reach the end, I hope you don't mind if I skip the personal list part.

On with the awards...

First up is the Lemonade award given to me by Carol at New Mummy who has a gorgeous 7-month old little girl. Thankyou Carol! This is one to show blog appreciation. So I pass it on to five fantastic blogs that I truly appreciate...



Next up is this ever-so-slightly rude award (not in the mood for swearing today - not quite sure what's come over me), given to me by the gorgeous (and hilarious) Tasha at WAHM-BAM. I hereby pass this on to...
Do with it what you want ladies. When I first received it I had wonderful fun remembering just how much I loved swearing. Enjoy...
Next up is the Honest Scrap award from my fellow-Brightonian, Rebel Mother at One More Day in the Madhouse.
These are for blogs which have shown Honesty in spades...

The penultimate award has been given to me by two people - Sandy Calico at Baby Baby and Clareybabble at Clareybabbling.
Thank you ladies. Your blogs are Lovely too!
I now pass this on to not one, but five Lovely Blogs.
And finally, the only one not yet already decorating my virtual mantelpiece in this - the Palabros Como Rosas which translates as 'words like Roses'....given to me by the amazingly wonderful Fhina at A Woman of No Importance. Thank you my darling - I am most touched.
I hereby pass this on to five more blogs whose words are as beautiful as roses...
Please forgive me if I haven't included you. It's probably because I've already passed an award your way, or else I've just had a quick peek and you have far too many, or more than likely I've become a tad confused, insulted you and you'll never venture this way again.
Apologies whichever applies!

    Mum's the word - I'm so pleased you like it...well done! x

    allgrownup - Awwww - you're such a sweetie... well I love yor blog too - so thanks! It's hard to pass these awards on sometimes - you don't want to offend people by excluding them, but there are so many blogs I love to read and so many lovely and supportive people that you want to include everyone. Thansk for stopping by x

    Lady Mama - You're very welcome x

    notSupermum - Thankyou my dear - like I said to allgrownup above - it's always tricky passing on these awards because you don't want to upset anyone and exclude them - good job you know I love you already!! Although it has been a while since I gave you an award...Hmmm!

    Karin - You're so welcome - glad you liked it. You're doing great things with your blog so just keep it up! x

    Anxious - I do so love making people happy!! Glad you liked it. Enjoy xxx

    Okay, I'm crazy ... I just posted a thank-you for the award, but my son was crawling all over me and I must have clicked something other than "Post Comment." :) So let me start again ... ahem ...

    Thank you so much for the award - I'm absolutely thrilled! Such an honor! :)

    Now to see if I can post this properly ... again ...

    Amy - Thanks honey - as are you - think you've got about the same amount now haven't you?!!

    OP - It did - it took me all day - hubby was not amused!! Am sending big kiss and hug to you xxxxx

    WM - Yeah - don't do a me and stash them away for too long or else it really will take you forever. Although seeing as I didn't actually follow my own advice, I don't expect you to either!

    LWM - Oh No!!! That happens to me all the time - so frustrating. If I write a really long comemnt these days then I might even copy and paste it just in case it crashes. Anyway, blah, blah - glad you liked the award - love your writing so thought that particular award was well suited to you x

    Laura - Hey thanks for popping by - I know - I've been hoarding these for so long. It took me almost all day to do and the links and things - no wonder you haven't posted about yours (don't blame you a bit)!

    Jen - Thanks - and I'm so pleased you like it - your blog is great x

    Catharine - Hee hee - yes it is really for you!! Well done. Been meaning to give you something for ages - think I may have tagged you a while ago and in my mind thought it was an award and then went back to check and it wasn't. About time you got one from me... x

    Grit - Aaah - I'm so pleased. Actually it took me ages to let you know because every time I tried to comment, the computer kept crashing. So glad I persevered - it's well deserved x
