I know I'm crap at awards, people are incredibly kind at giving me them and I never reciprocate. That's bad, I'm usually better at giving than receiving.
So here it is, chock full of love from your auntie, this award is for anyone who pops in to visit their auntie, has been kind enough to comment and for the lovelies listed who have adorned their auntie with bling, in no particular order
Lisa, Tom Foolery, Mean Mom, Mom or Mum wars, Mobs, A Confused Take That Fan, DJ Kirby, Working Mum, That Girl and if I've left anyone out, I apologize and I know some of you are multiple givers.
If you don't have an award, please let mine be the first. I absolutely love being part of the community of bloggers, I now know people from all over the world and have insights into all kinds of things that would have passed me by. There have been striking similarities in lives lived an ocean apart and I love hearing how others are getting through theirs. I have made friends who can pick up nuances from what I write and will take time out of their life to email and offer support, so take a bow Lisa, Shirley, Sue, Penelope, you have dried some virtual tears and send lots of cyber hugs.
I always think I have an overwhelmingly female readership and I always applaud the power of female friendship but in the last wee while I have had some men who pop in from time to time, I also have some male bloggers I speak to off blog, I know, I can't believe it either, they're rubbish at discussing lip gloss though. So I want you to know I appreciate you visiting such a pink blog.
So again, I thank you for putting up with me bumping my gums about my weans, my complete inability to be a grown up and how if I were in charge of the world it would be a much better place.
Most of all thank you for giving me a voice.

Very kind of you, AG! It's very -- I don't know, "heart-warming" maybe -- to realize that no matter where we live, we have the same struggles and joys. I value our friendship.
Been meaning to say: I don't know if your stat counter can tell, but you're famous in my family. At least three of my four daughters read you. Pretty sure that makes you special! :)

OK, that's enough of that. This is just destroying my mean reputation, you know.
Thanks so much for the award. You are such a warm person.
Guess what? I have a male visitor, now, too! His wife thinks I look like Greta Garbo. Dunno what makes her think that. Now, I shall be really annoyed if you ask me who Greta Garbo was. You've been warned. ;0)
