A Thank You to everyone....

The very lovely and witty and intelligent Karen from GrumpyishMum has started a linky where we write an ode to a fellow blogger. Clearly I'm not a poet, but I've given it a shot. I couldn't really just write about one person because there are so many people who have been there for me ....

There was once a place called the net
Where some amazing people I've met.
Insomniacs, intelligentsia, compers,
Daft sods and keyboard warriors,
And the best 24/7 friends you can get!

I do have one special Blogger I need to mention though. My ode is to someone who took me under her wing and has looked after me almost since I first started The Brick Castle (I think she needed a lift at the time, but it's expanded a bit since then :p).

She's also been there for me day and night over the last 5 weeks while my partner has been ill - right from the early hours of the morning before we went to hospital when I was complaining he had Man Flu, through to when I was worried he was seriously ill and she seconded my opinion to make him go to hospital. She was the first person I spoke to when he was admitted, and the first person I told he had Meningitis. She was there to look after my small boys and do anything she can to help and I will be forever grateful for that unceasing friendship and support.

There was once a Red Rose Mum
Who was there for me when I was dumb
She helped me with stats
And Twitter and that
And now I have Klout, Kred and some.....other stuff that seems to be very important in Internetland....

 I did warn you I wasn't a poet!!Now's your chance to be a better non-poet than me! Why not compose an ode to your special blogger and join in with the linky...

    1. I know! You have to come to one of the events Tas! You're on my ever dwindling list of bloggers I must meet (it's dwindling because I meet them, not because I cross people off :D )
