I owe somebody a big thank you. I don’t know who you are, so I’ll have to just say this publically. Some kind soul has nominated TheTwistedYarn for the ‘Best Newcomer’ category of the MADS awards (bloggy prizes for people with sprogs). I’m very very touched. Thank you. Here’s some love:-
I don’t expect to win. The finalists are selected, apparently, according to how many times their blog has been nominated for a particular category, and I don’t think my one rather lovely nomination is going to cut the mustard on its own. It would be truly amazing to be a finalist – they give you dinner. Actual dinner at a big evening event in London.
But getting to the dinner stage of things would involve being nominated lots of times and realistically, the competition is too stiff. There are so many wonderful blogs out there. In fact, I’m going to go and nominate a couple of them right now, because even if I don’t win, it’d be lovely to know someone who did…

They’re emoticons. You download them to your phone/ iPad then use them through the round world sign next to the number button.
The Twisted Yarn says
Ah, thank you.
