VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

No, not in the election - pah what's the future of our Nation when £200 of John Lewis vouchers are at stake.....

It appears that my blog is one of the 5 finalists in the MADS 2010 Funniest Blog awards (gulp) and that is all thanks to you amazing lot - so thank you, thank you, thank you. From the minute I bowed to public pressure and started this thing up, it's you lot that have kept me going. Even if it has meant complete strangers approaching me from behind at buffet tables and saying 'I love your blog, especially the one about your piles.......'.

However - it ain't over until the mad lady is blowing her vouchers on Strongbow (only joking - I need some curtains in my bedroom so I stop scaring early morning dog walkers with my 'womanly self') and the winner is decided purely on number of votes so if you can I'd be ever so grateful indeed if you went to the website and in the 'vote for the finalists' bit, do your stuff in the Funniest category.....

CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF SANITY

If you vote I promise to keep up the hard work and mis-use hair removal cream, misplace my balls, misname homosexual chickens after religious icons, mis-locate wigs into the wheels of my pram and misplace my mind well into my old age and all whilst never EVER misplacing my sense of humour.

Thank you.

  5. Well done you. Aren't you up for blogger of the year as well?! I am definitely voting for you in both categories as yours is the blog I know best.

    And to think it all started (kind of) with some mugs of gluhwein and a station loo.... ;)

  7. Yay!Thanks Kate! Yes I am for blogger of the year too (blush blush blush) but that is decided by judges - not the voting public - so we just have to pray that their not easily offended by crap Iggle Piggle cakes.... If I one as iphone I could update my blog from anywhere! Well unless I end up back in the mental unit in which case they'd confiscate it ;).

  8. LOL. Yes. I hope you do win. Are you going to the awards ceremony? I know a couple of the other nominees via Twitter. I sometimes plug your blog on there. If you're not on Twitter already, you should be. If you get there, you can follow me @kateab (of course).

  9. There is an awards CEREMONY! OMG - I had no idea!! I'm slightly worried I will be photographed and my mum/dad/mother-in-law/special pasta sister-in-law etc might find out about me and my blog! But yeah - I'd go if I won!

    I'm not on Twitter - I haven't managed to figure it out yet (I'm a bit slow on these things - it took me about 3 years to start the blog!) but I'm sure will be one day!

  11. Voted. It's a no-brainer - you win. Along with the Not Waving Lady up there, you never fail to brighten my day and put a smile on a sometimes (lots recently) downturned mouth. Many thanks xxx

    I shall add your name to my ballot paper tomorrow - I'm voting 'cos women died for us to get the vote so I'm using it - just don't want to vote for any of the candidates - all white, middle aged males!

  18. SB - you are making me laugh! Starstruck!?!?! Waaahhhh - does that make me a celeb? Sh1t, I'd better stop taking the recycling bins out in my PJs before I get papped. Oh god - people from my past will start selling my secrets to the tabloids. Actually, what secrets? They're all on here! Seriously though I do get a bit alarmed when I meet people who only know me from here! Firstly I'm like 'oh god, WHAT have I actually written?' - there's loads of stuff I forget but it's on here FOREVER and then I feel they expect me to be all 'boom boom boom ha ha' non-stop funny when I might just want to talk about the weather or where they got their shoes from. It's the pressure darlink, it get's to you....;)
