The Mumsnet MUM of the year award.

[QuintessentialShadow]

Will there be a thread to discuss nominations, or will it all be secret through email?

It must be a hard task doing the judging.
It must be bloody harder than the Christmas appeal, so I dont envy you this task. A whole holiday stands to gain for one lucky winner, wow....

But, what criteria do you use to judge? If I were to put myself somebody forward, so to speak....

What I really would like to ask is:

???? why? What the fuck are you thinking?

just seen this.

I hope to god I am not entered (that sounds bad doesn;t it).

where the hell would I fit my children if there is only room for two.

makes me mad things like this.......they seem to think only mums of two are perfect!!!

Psycho I mentioned your name before after your mammoth sleepovers - that was you?

twinset, cat me my case for you, and I will enter you. seriously. I know you deserve it with all the shit you have had happen to you lately, I just dont know that I know enough to fill 150-200 words!!!!

Or does this post instantly disqualify you????

ooh did you.....aww, fanks[bush]

yep, that would be me.

15 girls and boys all here after going to watch HSM3

I do know wine was needed the night of and the night after............especially as none of them actually fully slept. quite descended about 4am IIRC, but not full quiet!

I have had a few mammoth sleep overs tho. most memorable was the one on DD1's 12th birthday when they told each other the candy man' story, and then I inadvertantly knocked on the door to tell them quiet down at dead on midnight.

the screaming nd panic was to be hread to be believed, and one wet herself she was so terrified. took 10 mins to get into the room after the knock as the screaming and barricading was so bd and so loud!

in fact, I think I deserve to win.....

I will go alone however

I didnt actually write a nomination for you psycho, to busy being the worlds best mum for that! But am happy to.

QS.

where are we supposed to write a nomination anyway??

is there a link somewhere that I have missed??

that said, not nomintating myself...........that seems awfully presumptious (sp?)..

well I think I should win, after all, I am lovely, and i feed my kids fresh food today and I even let them go outside for a bit and play. See told you i should win
oh plus I do all this, and housework with a broom up my arse and a smile on my face LOL

custy - it's all yours.

can we vote for dads as well?

no just vote for me!

Marvellous idea...did I mention I am a profoundly deaf parent...cope admirably etc etc??

not as great as me with my broom up my bum!!

Ahh, I have a broom up arse as well as a hearing aid!!

The danger arises if I'm a tad sleepy in the mornings and I try to put the broom in my ear and the hearing aid up my arse

ah but see i have a duster in my mouth too, so i should win!!
least you could hear what your farts sound like close up!!

when did you become a saint 2shoes? I thought you were just special!!!

That brings a whole new meaning to the phrase lip reading doesn't it....

well bugger you, i have already got my dress speech and travel docs ready! do you think i should take the broom out fo that night? or just spray it gold to match my dress?

oh I would love to see the hotel (or Gordon Brown) cope with ds1.

I'd never win a submission so agree it should be any MN out of a hat and then you could all get the joy of seeing Gordon Brown's bottom sniffed by DS1.

well. I am bowing out due to the excellent competition (I would never do housework with a broom up my arse for eg.......it would get lost), but also.........

I would fall down on the perfect mum-ness on the prize a three of mine would need to be sold and abandoned left behind to take the damn thing!!!

well, i was all ready to make an accweptece speech and all that stuff, but then saw its for 2 adults and one or two children. obviosuly having a larger family, i cant be mum of the year [strops off]
