What Would Nigella Do?: britmums

Well, knock me down with a cheese string, I made it to the final 8 in the Tasty! category of the Britmums blogging awards (#bibs)!

How the hell did that happen?

As you can imagine I am chuffed to bits and have been tweeting my delight and then.....wait for it....I GOT A DIRECT MESSAGE FROM NIGELLA LAWSON CONGRATULATING ME!! (sorry for the cyber-shouting, but how exciting is that??!!) Look...

One word speaks volumes..

Now, to celebrate I might just have to fire up the kitchenaid and get baking! I am sure my son would appreciate a 'didn't Mummy do well chocolate cake' and I did buy myself a new cake plate and server last week. I know...but I needed them! I was slightly irked it was a Kirstie Allsopp cake-server, but hey - it's candy striped and pretty! Whatever I cook, it's got to be Nigella and I'm going to blog about it!

M&S, if you're interested....

*allows self one last burst of self-adulation* YAHOO!

I almost choked on my museli this morning as I discovered I have been shortlisted in not one, but TWO categories of the Britmums Brilliance in Blogging Awards!! SOOO chuffed and a little bit proud of myself which, let's face it, doesn't happen very often.

Anyway, this is my shameless plea to please vote for Hello Wall in the Fresh Voices category and What Would Nigella Do? in the Tasty category. Especially Hello Wall though, as it has been a sanity-saver to me these last 7 months....

Link is below and voting is anonymous and takes about 30 secs. If you could spare me 30 seconds of your time I would be very, very grateful.
