Yup… as you too might already know I too was nominated for The MADs and as it is my obligation… no… MY DUTY… I am here to shamelessly BEG you to come and vote for me!!!

I was going to write a cool post talking about why you should come and vote for me… but The Wife did such a great job that I will shamelessly just plagiarize what she wrote on her own blog (I know u gonna read that baby… but it is in the best of interests that I do that and you know it!!… ).

There it goes!!!

Yes, you know what’s coming. And for those who don’t, nominations are flooding in for the MADs, a brand new set of awards celebrating British mummy and daddy bloggers. By now most people have probably put in their nominations and if you haven’t, well then let me sway you with a little bribery.

If I get shortlisted for any award (the five blogs with the highest nominations in each category go through to the next round) I will do a giveaway on this blog. Not just any old tat, but something rather nice. Perhaps you’d like to choose the prize yourselves. But of course first, I need to get shortlisted. And just to make it a bit more fun, if I then get voted the winner, I’ll make that giveaway prize grow in numbers. The more nominations I get (and hopefully the more wins) the more prizes there’ll be to go around.

You can nominate blogs for a MAD award here.

Of course, having been around for as long as I have, I’m not eligible for the best new blog category. Worse still, in another category I’m up against the wife. This could be a very interesting process. To help you out with your nominations take a look at the table below which suggests which of the wife and I you should nominate in each category.

*If you nominate glowstars.net for Best-Looking MAD Blog it’s not just the wife you’re nominating but the ME,  as I was the one who came up with this rather funky new layout.

So remember, nominations mean shortlists and shortlists mean prizes. Plus one (two) happy blogger (s).

Thank you.
