Just curtsey on the way past...
Back in mid-December the team at British Mummy Bloggers announced that there was to be a "Brilliance in Blogging" Award Ceremony, celebrating the great blogs of 2010. All bloggers were invited to nominate their favourite blogs in five separate categories which were then narrowed down to a short long list on which we were invited to vote. Today the results were announced on Twitter using the #brillBMB hashtag and you can see all the results in a full blog post over on The BMB Blog. It was a lovely, albeit hectic, half-hour on Twitter, celebrating some fantastic blogs, bloggers and posts - a great way to spend my lunch break. And that was that...
[drum roll]
There was a final announcement...
An honourable mention...
*faints*
This wasn't even a section on the nominations form! This is like being at the BAFTA's and the a noted member of the Academy starts the address for the Fellowship Award. Or at the British Comedy Awards when the Lifetime Achievement showreel starts. If a camera had have zoomed in on me at the moment that tweet appeared in my timeline, I would have looked a little bit like this:

I have no idea who the voting committee for this award were but I am deeply amused gobsmacked appreciative and very much bemused. All the hard work skiving time spent bashing out those 42,000 + (and rising) tweets now seems worthwhile. So, a massive THANK YOU to BMB and its community. I wistfully remember the days when Twitter was just myself, Stephen Fry and a few other people dotted around here and there and there was no such thing as Twitter Jail. Now, it is a great source of entertainment, information and friendship.
I accept my award with aplomb and will continue to keep up the good work, even to the extent of including the hashtag #TwitterQueen after all my tweets for the foreseeable future.
