I've finally finished going through all the Bloscars stuff... the forms that have arrived so far by the way (deadline isn't done, you still have time) and on the last one I suddenly notice a message to me underneath the main form.
I hope you don't mind that I haven't voted for you. I know you're organising it and everything and I'm sure it takes a lot of work but I don't really know you and have only been reading either of your blogs because of the bloscars, and even then someone else pointed them out to me! Sorry and all that but I'm sure you'll understand.
Yes, I do understand and no I'm not bothered in the slightest. Last year I took my self out of the running for fear of reprisals the like of which were seen during the first ever Bloscars but this year I bowed to peer pressure or rather, I listened to what my friends had to say, and I left my name in. I'm not bothered at all that you didn't vote for me, or that so many other forms have come in with my name missing from them. The idea of the Bloscars is not to see how popular I am... I already know that... as does Juzzzy... it's to award the bloggers of this blogging community.
Now, thanks to everyone who has sent a form in. It's people like you who make all this worth while. It doesn't take much time or effort at all to sort all this out and organise it but it takes a lot of effort to choose just three people from a myriad of excellent blogs and friends, so I admire everyone who has sent a form in, I know how hard it must have been, which is probably why I've yet to vote! Ha!
A huge thank you as well to the BCUK team for offering the prize again. Thank you.
P.S. Andy - yes, all your nominations count - even those your thought might not.
