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...
I have made little sub categories - impressed?
Diet Matters (well it is the blog after all)
1.Top Ten Tips
2.The Buffet Girl
3.Dukan is for Donuts
4.Frazzle Attack
Ranting (it is, well....the blog really!)
5.The Entrapment Mother F******
6.The Ignorer
7.The Modern Day Mother
Political (similar to ranty)
8.One Way Ticket
9.El Tash
Funny (I sometimes do light, fluffy and funny - only sometimes)
10.The Aldi Virgin
And the winner is........................The 1970's Diet!
Right I'm off for my week long stay at Butlins, Bognor Regis. Until next time.....
LOL. I had the NOMINATE badge on my blog (couldn't quite bring myself to post NOMINATE ME. Then someone told me they'd nominated me so I changed it to the NOMINATED badge. The when the lists appeared, I didn't. I mean I didn't appear on any of the lists. So now I look a right Charlie don't I? (I'm telling pple it means I've nominated rather than I've been nominated.) Have a lovely break in Butlins.
