Well, I was surprised anyway!
I’d just like to say thank you so much to everyone who voted for the blog in this years awards. I can’t tell you how surprised and excited I was when I learned that I’d won. In the face of so many other talented nominees I never really considered that I might actually take the top spot this year.
I Was Gutted Not To Be There…
Although Chris Frost did transmit a little of the fun and games to me when he phoned Duncan and I at 7.30am this morning, rousing us from our bed and sending us on a mad dash around the house as we tried to find the place where we actually get a mobile signal. This led Chris to accuse me of being a “miserable bastard” because I wasn’t quite excited (read:awake) enough for his liking.
So just for Chris….
Wooooohooo!!!!! Yeah!! Yipee!! Get in!! You Dancer!! etc etc etc
On a more serious note, thanks for ringing Chris. It made the whole thing seem a bit more real and it was great to hear from someone who was there. Thanks also for sending me this “live action” pic of you and Jane – it really made me feel a little closer to the action – I could almost taste that very nice bottle of wine 
Congratulations Also To…
Chris Clarkson, Hannah Swift, and all at Existem for very well deserved awards (apologies if I’ve missed anyone else I know who won something last night – I’m getting my information from that well known reliable source of info, Twitter!).
It’s Not Really Sunk In All The Same…
I think winning hasn’t really sunk in. I’m not as excited as I would have been if I’d been there. I think this is one of the only times I’ve come close to wishing I didn’t live in Australia so I could have been there to see all my friends and enjoy the party. Note I said “close” not “I wish”
Duncan and I will have a quiet bottle of bubbly by the fire tonight. I’m considering asking him to give me a round of applause or something, maybe it’ll sink in then!
P.S. Thanks to everyone who has sent me lovely e-mails and twitters, it means a lot!

Congratulations Kirsty, well deserved!
How tempting was it to squeeze in another jetset run to London? Still, you’ll be grateful for the lack of a sore head this morning!

The excitement of the awards (via twitter) got to me and I wished I was there just on your behalf! (having no involvement in the UK scene – (yet))
So, I can only imagine what it was like for you. Anyway the good thing for me is that I can actually celebrate with you so that’s going to make everyone else jealous I know
)
Congratulations. I was very excited that you won.
