It's literally been quite a mad week.
Sleep has been rare as The Goddess has been poorly, but fun was still had.
I was a finalist for Best New Blog at the MAD awards which celebrated mum and dad bloggers.
It was the first award ceremony of its kind and it was a real laugh.
I travelled down to Bognor Regis (last visited when I was kid) with Heather Young from Young & Younger blog.
The super mum of twins was a fab companion and luckily far from boring. We did have a giggle.
Butlins sponsored the event, so off to the coast we went.
Well hasn't Butlins changed? The fusty image has been ditched and it has gone all modern. Or should that be all disco.
Disco lift anyone? Spotlights dazzled and Abba played as we went up and down.
There was a disco shower in the spa and disco lights in my room.
Woah, that's a lot of 70s going on.
Anyway, besides the lights and music there was the awards ceremony itself. I didn't win, but I didn't expect to. The winner of my category went to Slummy Single Mummy and well deserved too.
It was great to finally meet all those people who up until now have been virtual in my world, but ply a load of bloggers with some booze and way hey, the night was a success.
Luckily my bedroom partner, the lovely Snaffles Mummy didn't have to put up with any of my drunken antics because I ducked out of the karaoke and took advantage of a night without being woken by small people, and we chatted away with a cup of hot choc. Rock'n'roll folks, rock'n'roll.
Big thanks to Sally Whittle for organising the beast of the event. Here's too every success for the next awards.
