Dear those who have been asking….
….how I got on in ‘those blogging awards’ I can almost tell you. I will find out tomorrow when I attend the Mad Blog Awards and the winners are announced.
I am incredibly excited, the build up has been fabulous and I get to spend the evening rubbing shoulders with bloggers who have now become friends. Plus there is wine, and I heard rumour of gin…
And I get to sleep over!
Not at the actual awards as that would be wrong and a tiny bit disgraceful; plus I have it in print that Chris Molser from Thinly Spread will carry me home should I shame myself and fall asleep in my chair owing to over consumption of afore mentioned gin.
So I am staying in a rather lovely hotel with the lovely Molly from Mothers Right (it’s ok mum I’ve met her she is not one of those internet trolls you read about). I am staying up in the big smoke courtesy of Vertbaudet who have kindly sponsored my attendance at the event.
Vertbaudet have been on my web favourites for years now, our relationship started with a toy box for the twins when they were born and since then I have purchased a wealth of toys, clothes and essential baby related items from them. For anyone who doesn’t know them but is pregnant or has small people living in their house I would advise you check out their site. They are a French clothing manufacture who specialise in stunning ranges of maternity clothes, baby clothes and nursery furniture. To top things off they have great customer service – a rare find in this world!
To celebrate the Mads finally arriving they have given me a fabulous toystorage box to give away to one lucky reader.
All you have to do is leaving a comment below. The winner will be chosen at random on Tuesday 4th of October at 7.30pm when the kids are in bed, and Uk entrants only please.
And please keep toes, legs, arms and fingers crossed that I don’t drink too much gin and fall into a drunken stupor at the awards, I don’t know if Chris is strong enough to get me home!
Good luck
Love

P.S. If you would like a giggle at my expense, guess who found out they have a place in next years London Marathon today…….
You’re doing the marathon again you mad woman?! (No pun intended). Good on you – training starts Saturday! x
I repeat! not confirmed yet! x
Jealous of the gin, and stopping over. Think I might hold my own award ceremony tomorrow (I’d better win).
Good luck in the marathon – you deserve a mad award for that one!
not confirmed yet!!!!!
Jog on ! The London Marathon ? Wowsers !
Good luck with the awards – and sip a gin for me !!!

Good luck, Jane!

blog awards and doing the marathon, how exciting!
the toy storage is gorgeous, much nicer than plastic boxes- which break and become sharp. vertbaudet have lush clothes, i used to buy from La Redoute, there stuff is lush but there sizing is way off!
have fun
Thanks
Good luck to you with the MADs and the marathon. Will be lovely to meet you at the awards x
Yes,

Wow!!! so you are doing the 3 peaks and the marathon!! Go you!
Good luck tomorrow lovely. I can’t wait to hear who wins. xx
Please note – I did not say I was doing it…..
I have strong arms…bit worried because muscle is heavier than fat and you are ‘in training’ but I’ll cope *salutes*
Dont worry training not started! this is pure chubbiness
Good Luck honey will keep everything crossed. While you are feeling energetic you can always do the Grim Challenge with me 3rd december . . . . . .
Not a chance! the marathon is more appealing! x

Please enter me…you can never have enough storage boxes
thanks and consider yourself entered! oo er mrs!
God that box is lush! Hubby box obsessed for toys! Lego box, superhero box, animals box… it never ends! He insists on those ugly plastic things, these would be an amazing alternative!!

Aw thanks x
Oooo a place in the Marathon next year!! Exciting! (And a little bit scared for you too actually, but that’s just me). Have a wonderful time tonite and good luck
Thanks mrs
Good luck in the awards; and one of those boxes would be a fine replacement for the cardboard Amazon box that currently holds Toby’s toys. (And you get bonus points for being sponsored by a company called ‘Green Ass’.)
Ha!
thanks lovely
good luck at awards- please can you add my name to the comp for the storage box? many thanks

Gin? Gin, you say. Ye gads, I MUST try harder next year.
Good luck – with it all.
Thanks x
Seth loves elephants, this box has elephants on it. Cheeky but factual comment from me in a desperate attempt to get some storage….
I like cheeky x
If ‘by any chance’ you happen to be running the marathon again – i’ll be there to cheer!
would you like to run it for me instead?
Congratulations on your award, one for the Northerners!
OH & I had just discussed getting a toy box for Baby’s room so this would be ideal.
As for the marathon – you are mad!!
not confirmed!
First time here. Excellent site. Great post.
Awards, another marathon… You’re over achieving lady. I’m worried that if we ever arrange that catch up I’ll feel mighty inferior in your presence…
I never said I was running it! I just have a place….. – you want it?
Would love to win this, we’re setting up a jungle theme nursery and this would fit right in.
@robynlclarke
Oh good luck x
Congratulations on your award! Fantastic! @rhodak09
Thanks
congrats on the award, much deserved! Best of luck if you do the marathon
We have too many toys, so could do with something ( else) to put them in. Congratulations again
I’d love to win this!
Good luck
What a gorgeous box!!
Very nice box! (and good luck with marathon!)
Hmmmmm not sure about marathon…
well done on your win!!
Thanks x x
Ooo please let me win, we’ve just had the first birthday experience and I’m in desperate need of places to store the new toys, particularly the lovely alphabet pull along tray which her godparents bought. Though very pretty it seems to comprise a billion pieces which keep disappearing under my sofa.
Ha! We have that problem! Good luck
