A very odd thing happened yesterday. First of all I got some free, last minute tickets for the Digital Media Awards, for which I was nominated in the Best in Blogging category. That was quite odd in itself as there’s supposed to be no such thing as a free lunch (or dinner, as in this case). I got to meet Deborah, the Humble Housewife, Grandad and K8 the Gr8, which was cool.
And then, the oddness. I, eh, won. What?!?!??

Feebee
Congratulations! That was a well-deserved win and I really hope it’s a sign that things are going to continue to go your way from now on.
Having been down the road of baby loss, I know only too well that the best reward of all will be when you hold that little pink bundle in your arms!
I’ve all ten fingers and toes crossed for you.
