Heather Goes To The MAD Blog Awards
I was astounded -truthfully astounded, not just in that sort of fake ‘oh really, you shouldn’t have’ way- when a load of you lovely people out there nominated me for a MAD Blog Award, the UK’s first parenting blog awards, and even more so when I found out I was going to be a finalist for the Most Innovative Blogger, up against Cafebebe and Urbanvox – stiff competition.
Astounded and thrilled but also a bit sad. Sad because I knew there was no way I was ever going to be able to go the awards ceremony, I just couldn’t afford the airfare. Sad because I knew I would be at home, reading about everyone else having a blast on Twitter whilst I sat in my pj’s at home trying to pretend it didn’t matter. Sad and feeling a bit sorry for myself about the whole thing, if I’m honest.
But then I got some fabulous news! Thanks to the fabulous people at Plum Baby and the rather wonderful Ms Sally Whittle, I get to go to the UK’s first parenting blog awards, The MADS!
Oh. My. God!!
I’m going to get to meet some of the most wonderful bloggers
And a million more I haven’t mentioned and will probably get poked in the eye for leaving off the list. Whoops. I’ll have to practise my eye poking aversion technique before the night!
I will get to stay in the new Butlins at Bognor which looks rather snazzy on their website and not at all like the Butlins of old as I remember it. And I’m totally having a go on those slides!
I will get to see who, out of Cafebebe, UrbanVox and myself, wins the fabulous prize for Most Innovative Blogger
Most Innovative MAD Blog
The Most Innovative MAD Blog award recognises the blog that best encapsulates the spirit of innovation in blogging, whether it’s using video or podcasting or creating amazing content for readers to download.
The winner of this award already knows how to use technology to create really special online content. So we can’t wait to see what they can do with £1,000 of technology. This amazing prize package will include a Sony Vaio laptop computer, a Sony digital camera, HP printer and scanner, an iPod with docking station, an external hard drive, a copy of Photoshop Elements and – of course – the latest security software from BitDefender, which has recently been named “Best for Beginners” by Which? magazine.

And cheer them on whilst secretly hating them a little bit for beating me.
And I’ll get to have a great night out, get rather drunk and make a tit out of myself on twitter and other social media platforms before falling over, puking in a pot plant and dropping asleep in a corner of the room.
I can’t wait!
So now all I need is a posh frock and a funky new smart phone for keeping you all upto date with the latest embarrassing thing I’ve just done.
Who else is coming?
Thank you once again to the lovely people at Plum Baby, I really appreciate your support and am looking forward to seeing you at The MAD Blog Awards. I’m sure I owe you a drink or three.
I'm Heather, an ex expat, now back in blighty and living in Lancashire. Which is just like Lapland only less snowy...and stuff.
It’s going to be a blast. Did I miss you making a drunken tit of yourself?
*coughs* Me , The Man & The Baby*coughs*
That’s fab that you can go! I’m so excited about being able to go and support you and the others! That slide does look like lots of fun

I was at Butlins earlier in the year planning some details of the event, but I had Flea with me and she wasn’t big enough to go on the slides. Therefore the FIRST thing I’m going to do is get me on one of those slides. Can’t wait, and so pleased you’re joining us, and thanks to Plum and all our lovely sponsors for helping us put together what I hope is going to be a fabulous event.
I am trying to work out if there is any way that I can attend with three children and no babysitter. Would love to meet up if I do!
I’m constantly making a drunken tit of myself, thankfully it’s not often I do it in front of a room full of strangers.
Woop woop! It’s going to be awesome meeting you all! Sorry about the whole list thing, i wrote in somewhat of a rush this morning. Feel free to poke me in the eye when we meet
It would be brilliant to meet you!
We could do slide races! We could big long slide trains of bloggers! Woohoo! does anyone have a waterproof digicam?
Congratulations! Have a great time!
Congratulations – couldn’t happen to a nicer person. And you get to go Bognor as well. I’m dead jealous!
That’s fab news, hope you have a wonderful time. It sounds like it’s going to be a great evening.
Yay! Thats all I am going to say. Oh and YAY!
Haha – you know I will be bringing my camera? Can’t wait – so chuffing chuffed you’re coming
Spare a thought for little me… Air fare takes on a whole new meaning in my case, and I can’t be there.
Excellent – have fun and be a winner! (or a good loser of course)… I get the impression it’s the slides that are doing it for you but the whole thing sounds so fun and you will be famous for putting Bognor on the blogging world map if you do those bloggy slide trains!
Its going to be great ! Can’t wait to actually meet you Heather (um I’ll be the one turning up late since I’m coming from work)
