Warning: this post is in no way amusing. Nuh-uh. Not even the drab, wet sock of a joke about the cheese grater. Reader discretion is advised, and rest assured the vein attempts to be funny will resume sooner rather than later.

A week in blog awards

Wotcher, yak watchers. My favourite drink in the whole world is Tesco Value diet lemonade (maybe), so you can imagine my delight when I received a Lemonade Award courtesy of wizdumbckr at ne-deja-vu. To her, I extend my gratitude as it is the first recognition of my blog’s existence here on the mess of memes that is the world wide web.

The Lemonade Awards - because self-promotion is fun!

After all, isn’t that what people want - to be recognised for their efforts? Well, I know it’s hardly a Pulitzer but it’ll do for now since I can no longer afford liquid refreshment to stock my fridge. I shall announce my winners for my Lemonade Award in due course, so keep your eyes peeled and you may just win. Oh, it’s all so very exciting, isn’t it? (*Grates hand with cheese grater*)

I don’t want your awards. I want your soul.

The Proximidade Award is dished out to those who are more interested in making friends than ‘bigging themselves up’, so you can imagine my surprise when I was awarded one by The Spinster Chronicles. Nah, only joking - I’m not really here to win awards, I’m just happy to (try and) make people laugh.

To the guy(s) at TSC, a huge thanks, and as with the Lemonade Award I shall be selecting eight of my favourite blogs to have this prestigious achievement bestowed upon them. Once again, the excitement builds! (*Finishes grating one hand, moves onto next*)

So, be vigilant and not at all suck-upish and, if my hands are not completely eroded, you may win and have the chance to write a similarly ego-boosting, self-promoting topic such as this.

Was that alright? Great. I thought I came across as rather big headed? Nah.
