My Top Ten Blog Posts

To the right of my blog you will see the "NOMINATE ME!" badge for the Mad Blog Awards. If you would like to vote that makes me feel very flattered and if you can't be arsed I'm totally with you on that too.  Its quite amusing really because if you nominate yourself which, of course I have you get to be in the 'final' nominations. I ticked the boxes for best blog, best writer, best lover, best mum, best friend, best superwoman - there's no modesty in this malarkey I can tell you. I did so safe in the knowledge that unless you are part of the blogging hierarchy you haven't got a cat in hells chance. Still I did it and asked my sisters (who won't bother with the faffing and to be honest why would you) and two friends. That was it. That's the sole extent of my blog networking expertise. Tah dah.

Anyhow all this sits a bit uneasy with me as, like you know, I'm not really into 'pimping' my blog for awards. I did a little bit of that on twitter last year and I felt a bit unclean, dirty, seedy that sort of thing. Last year it was insane - every other tweet was "VOTE FOR ME". I even got direct messages asking for votes and I can guarantee the favour was not returned. Bastards. One winner actually blogged about 5 times that year but was a prolific tweeter - a very funny tweeter but blogger? Another got the right hump and shut down their twitter and blog because they didn't get through to the finals only to return a little while later with the old tail between the legs. 

I know many bloggers feel the same way and are very relaxed about the whole affair. They will have their badge displayed and leave it at that. I'm going to vote for the blogs I like and not the arse lickers - the ones that are now conjuring up all manner of posts in the desperate hope for a trip to Butlins. I think I have sealed my fate don't you think?!

I have digressed as ever. It did get me thinking, in any event, about my favourite blog posts on my blog. I'm going to have my very own "The 1970's Diet award"s - created by me, nominated by me, judged by me and winner.....ME! So without further ado...
