This is my 99th post. Who'd have thought it? And apparently, it is traditional that when you reach 100 posts, you are supposed to tell everybody 100 things about yourself
Not a chance.
I couldn't even think of 100 things about myself, and if I could, I wouldn't have the time.
So instead, I'm having a giveaway. A much better idea in my opinion.
And since the 'Mothering Monday' posts were such a hit, I thought I'd giveaway the book which contains most of these little gems.
(No, it's not the one The Peacemaker bought me for Mother's Day - I went and bought another one)!
So, if you'd like to win a copy of
'The Mums Book - for the Mum who's best at everything'
just leave a comment. Nothing fancy. You can just say hello if you like.
If you've been lurking and haven't commented before, now's your chance!
I'll do the draw on Friday.
And now I am off to see my own mother, who, so this lot tell me, is not very pleased with me, since I haven't been to see her for a week.
I will return later, no doubt suitably chastised.
Oh, and I do hope this new found award-winning celebrity thing dies down soon.
I was snapped by the paparazzi this morning on my way to the shops.
I only went for bread.

Congratulations on your award and I'm relieved to see that it hasn't remotely gone to your head....and I see I'm the first to enter your draw. Lx
Whoah, you can do a seriously snotty look when you want to, mind you those bloody paps deserve it. I was snapped last week in my tartan dressing gown & green wellies, carrying a torch and holding a syringe of chicken wormer in my teeth. I only made Chicken Weekly, at least you made Vogue. Debs
Congrats on reaching number 99. And you look fabulous when heading to the store!
100 things to reveal about oneself is an awful lot of secrets out of the bag.
I must say, that bread in your arms looks awfully suspicious. Are you sure it's French?

I understand all about those pap's - they were all over me when I kidnapped Dr. Phil..
Wow, coming up for your centinary? That's something to celebrate - I've put the Champagne on to chill - tell me when to pop the cork!
hoorah hoorah hoorah for getting the award!! Well done you.
xx
Congrats on all those posts. That takes a lot of stamina.
Most importantly, I hope I win. I have sworn these drawings off, but because it's you, I'll give it one more shot...Hope you don't let me down. No pressure, though.
Well, you might as well smile and give them a lovely picture. I've heard that's the only way to make them go away.
Congrats on reaching 100!

I see that you don't just pick up the one item you go for, either.
It looks like you got something leafy and green, though, so your impulse items are better than some...
congrats on reaching 100!!!
well, at least you were smart enough to go out w makeup on! can you imagine what the headlines might read if ya didn't? the paparazzi can be brutal at times lol :)
congrats on your 100th post and here's to another 100 more xoxo
would be cool to win this book, but i think i'm contest jinxed. i usually never win, but i'm taking one more chance with yours! lol xo
Gosh I'm not far short of 600 posts does that mean I have to write 600 things~ I'd bore everyone silly!! Actually not sure I could think up 60 things let alone 600.
Anyway congratulations on reaching your 100th post..oh and making the cover of vogue~ not sure about the hat though!!
Dahling, you look Mahvelous! Simply top drawer! I am sure I have whined and kvetched and blathered my way through more than 100 posts and no one told me of this rite of passage... pfffit!
Hi, I'm writing a feature for a national broadsheet on the boom in blogging mums. I wondered if you would be interested in talking to me?

Congratulations on reaching the milestone - I'm so glad you started blogging - it's a fabulous blog. x
Congratulations on your 100th! You don't look a day over 40!
You look fabulous with the baguette sticking out of your paper bag m'dear! Well done on your 99th post here's to the next 99! How kind of you to offer a giveaway too. x
TMOTL, i'm liking the matching lipstick and hat look, you've got it going on girl!
99th post, well done you!!!!
Pigx
At least you gave them your 'haughty look'!
What does a mum who's best at everything need a mum's book for? I'm intrigued. Pop my name in the hat!
Congrats on reaching your 100 post. Love your blog, always enjoy my visits here. Hope your Mom is doing well and you didn't get a whipping! hahahaha Got to love our Mom's! God Bless~
Happy 100th post! Love your blog!
Effortless, flawless beauty - you are!
Congrats and keep 'em coming! Us Yanks need your daily humour and insight!!
Mwah,
JOT
99 gosh, well done I always enjoy my visit (is that enough grovelling to get me the book?!)
Are you sure that's bread you're carrying?;)
What a nice way to celebraate your 100th post.
Hello!
From the look on your face, you don't like the cheese filling! You always make me smile. Hugs. Flick x
Oooh! Scary! You can certainly move, alright, when the wind's behind you. I don't think I've ever had such a fast response to a one word comment, before. I would like to apologise for my previous, rather flippant remark, but I can't see to type for my tears of laughter, so I can't! Have I won, then?
I also missed the rite of passage and find that I may have done 100 posts this month. Well, maybe not quite but more than ther are days and I don't know how that happened.
Ooh ooh....pick me pick me....:)
Just stopped by to say Hi! Love your blog!
Glad to see you made the cover of Vogue and not some piddling little "mommie's type" mag instead! Congrats on the 99th post too. Always an enjoyable visit here!
Come see me...I left you a little something!
Glad to see you don't slob out to the shops in juicy tracksuit and Uggs. Someone has to keep standards up.
Is that loaf of bread flipping off the paparazzi?? Or is it just me?
Well, I was going to say you don't look anything like 99 until I saw your Vogue cover - and am now green with envy! You're gorgeous.
Many congrats on all those Posts - it shows great stamina as well as talent. Brains AND Beauty. (Has the flattery worked yet?) M :)
oooh 99 posts. I am lagging behind!! (whoa am I!)
You always look so fabulous all the time, going to parties, standing in the kitchen in your apron with your hands on your hips, going out for bread... when I grow up, I want to be just like you :D
My, you're looking smart these days...
I went to the store for bread yesterday, and came home with...
I'll save that for a blog post. :)
You poor paparazzi-hounded creature you. But that's what you get for being one of the Beautiful People.
Oh my soul I hope i 'm not too late for the giveaway.
You look good on the cover of Vogue
Congrats on your 99th post. I am sure you could think of at least 100 things but this is a great idea as well.
I want it!
Hey Jackie you look good on Vogue! And that is NOT bread you bought. I'd say you were perhaps lacking in the bedroom department... ;0) It's definitely NOT bread shaped.
seems the paps have been at San's too. She hasn't been on Vogue though. Yet.
Where could I get a copy of that book? I do so love it. Sorry I haven't been over in ages - been gardening then hurting my wrist (see mine). Congrats on 99 posts. Off to read no. 100 now.
Congrats on your 100th! Wow!
SO, did I make the deadline?
Congrats on 100. You write some real gems. Love it!
