Prize winners, an award and tweeting under the influence

Lovely Julia over at What Will Julia Do Next? has bestowed upon me the lovely A Blog with Substance award which I am gratefully accepting and displaying it here with pride. The brunette laptop-loving lady sitting in the executive chair looks a little bit like me, in fact.  About a decade ago.

Thank you very much for the award, Julia. I am required to sum up my blogging philosophy in five words, so here it is:

Have fun and enjoy it.

And in true blog-award-giving style I am required to pass it on to five other bloggers whose blogs I enjoy, so I'm awarding it to:

Vegemitevix

Baby Genie

When the world was pink

Babyrambles

Crystal Jigsaw

The rules of the award, for those receiving it, are:

Rules:

1. Thank the blogger who awarded it to you.

2. Sum up your blogging philosophy, motivation, and experience using five words.

3. Pass it on to some other blogs which you feel have real substance

The winners of the Aramazu Learn to Tell the Time Right Now Book have also been selected at random by an unbiased seven-year-old child, and they are:

JoJoebi, The MadHouse, Dawn, Jenny and Hayley.

Thanks to everyone who entered. If your name is there, I'll be in touch shortly.

My Cybermummy prize - a bottle of Tanqueray Gin - has also arrived and it seems appropriate to sum up my drinking philosophy in five words, before I forget:

Never tweet under the influence.

Cheers!

Wisest words I've ever heard: don't tweet under the influence. Also, no Facebooking, blogging or try to friend people after a few glasses.

[Rosie Scribble]

Very true. And I would add texting, emailing and replying to blog comments to that list too, which is why I didn't write this last night!

Glad you liked it Rosie!

Well done ladies - nothing like a bit of mothers' ruin to make the day go quicker x

[Vegemitevix]

Oooh fanks very much! Quite thrilled. Ah yes, drunken texting/blogging/tweeting is to be avoided at all costs. Hmm. Am I ready to reveal one of my all time most embarrasssing momments in a blog post?
