I owe so many people a big thank you for standing by me over the past year or two and even more for nominating me in the BMB Brilliance in Blogging Awards. What with health issues and learning to live as a single parent I’ve had very little time to read and keep up with you all, but you are a fabulous bunch and I feel so lucky to be part of such a huge and diverse community that is the blogosphere.
So I have prizes…
Firstly a stunning Fire Engine Ride-on Speedster from Variete Stores, where you can find everything from lights to furniture to toys. Check out their blog for practical advices on home and garden decoration, and great shopping tips. (RRP 62.99)
Second a cool bundle put together by myself, Miss E and Miss M, courtesy of the lovely folks at Toys R Us including :
- VTech Storio Animated Reading System – a unique interactive animated storyteller for kids! Packed with educational activities, you can even use the story dictionary to check the meaning of difficult words. (RRP £54.97)

And last but not least I have a £50 voucher code from www.allfancydress.com , so if you really want a bit of Mr Depp you could purchase this lovely Jack Sparrow costume or get yourself a pirate wench if you so desired.

I wasn’t going to enter this competition, as my kids have already got enough for Xmas, but I’ve just had a little boy peek over my shoulder and ask if I am getting him that racer. After a lot of pleading from him here I am so please pick me!
Well deserved on the nomination. I now have to go against my objections with the BMB thing and vote for you and Cross the Pond! Wish me luck – this is going to be hard!
