Awards Surprise

Rather staggeringly I've been nominated for 'Achiever Of The Year' at this year's Headway awards and I've reached the final three!

So myself and the Baroness have been invited to The Dorchester (I'm out of my depth!) to join in with the day. Very much looking forward to the day and thank you Headway and whoever nominated me.

Congratulations......And I think to most of us on here its no surprise. Unless it's the young achievers award....I think that may be pushing it a bit.

Once again well done on the nomination and hopefully your success in winning it.

I would never say you are old. I may write it but never say it.

Well deserved and well done.

Especially to the baroness and mini barons.

What is that saying? Behind every great man there is an even greater woman (and children in your case).

Stay well and keep going.

Enjoy the day.

I take your point but I'm not a great man in the first place, just a mad prat on a mission :)

I would say well done but I know you would say that you haven't done anything and that will be why you have been nominated. You are a constant inspiration for us and with your wicked sense of humor. What a combination. I am concerned that you may get a taste of good living at the Dorchester! Please don't move in. You would have to pretend to be posh! Xx

I couldn't afford it, we're staying at a B&B up the road :)

Cool very well done and very much deserved. Enjoy the posh Dorchester. All of us here I am absoluteley sure hope you win it. Normal everyday people should be recognised especially when they put others before themselves, which you have done - do not deny it because you have. Have a brilliant day!

Well done x

I thank you, I expect nothing less! :)

You may have to cancel the cheap B & B up the road though :)
