30-04-2009 - Thanks ya'll. Thanks to everyone for their kind wishes and congratulations. Your generosity is appreciated. Blogging not about scuppering prizes, badges or accolades or following ratings. It is about having the freedom to express yourself in whatever way you want and I am incredibly grateful to 24.com for providing the platform where I can make an @rse of myself. It's a case of hit or miss most of the time and I consider myself lucky that I get the views and comments that I do. I am by no means the 'best' blogger. There is really no such thing. In our diversity of style and content, each dedicated blogger is uniquely 'best' at what they do. There are people here who gobsmack me daily with their prose, story telling, political insight, personal journeys, and ability to entertain etc. So thanks go to you lot. Okay enough of the schmaltz! Back to the real world now. I need to scrape off the make-up - I've got loos to scrub.
