Is it just me who finds this funny? I’ve been away to BritMums Live this weekend, and when I came home with the irascible Mammasaurus, who was staying the night at ours, this “observational drawing” was awaiting me, courtesy of my daughter. Normally I would find it nothing short of charming, an example of the work she is currently immersed in at school. But it appears to be a blogging congratulations π I am further confused by the fact that I am only the second named recipient of this award, Annie herself looking like the more important winner. I think it’s even possible that I was an afterthought. Hmmmm…
An observational drawing of a daisy
On the other hand, there were numerous other gifts and notes scattered around the house for random discovery, including 2 rather special bouquets of flowers. I was thrilled, of course, and somewhat mollified the next morning when I awoke to the news that:
“We spent Β£65 pounds Mummy. Yours was Β£40 and Annie’s was Β£25, so yours was the most. Then we spent a pound on Crunchies to put inside the flowers, and Β£10 on lottery tickets, so we actually spent Β£76.”
Oh, that’s alright then.

Ahhh love the flowers, and congrats on your win too!! π
Thank you π
Whilst you may have been an after thought on the drawing at least your flowers cost more. Don’t you just love it when kids tell you how much they spent
Reassuringly expensive π
That is so sweet x you are a lucky mummy indeed :))) x congrats again on your fab win! Officially the funniest blogger there is 2013 :))) x
Eeek! Tall order!
Aww how sweet!! You are a lucky mummy!
They are legends!
Your kids are wonderful, mine just raided my goodie bag when I arrived home! A funny and fitting post for the laugh winner!
Oh the pressure to be funny!
Not “actually” mummy….”epic” mummy” this week! Your families support of you is lovely!
Thank you – I am very lucky π
Ahhhh you have got the sweetest children and that’s a fact!
I’ve been staring at my flowers this afternoon smiling to myself – now if we can just get Actually daddy to give Papasaurus some lessons in charm that would be smashing! π
I’ll ask him for his daily rate π Sadly I think it was mostly influenced by the kids thought, so you’ll just have to start training up your two!
I LOVE that you got a note detailing just how much money had been spent on you. Brilliant! Congratulations on your win too, very well deserved xx
Yeah, just to show her maths is ok too π
Sounds like a wonderful welcome home to me! Big congrats on your win! x
Thank you, well done on your keynote too!
How unbelievably cute! I love the fact that its an “observational” drawing! What a lovely welcome home, even if you did have to share it!
Congrats on the award as well!

Thank you so much π
How adorable!! Lots of effort and calculation went into that for sure! A novelist, illustrator AND and accountant perhaps?! π
*sniggers*
That is a pretty amazing daisy though! Children I guess are not very good at tact…something for me to look forward to π Well done on your award…very well deserved.
Thank you so much. Tact is learned sometime in your 20’s, I believe. Although I think I bypassed it π
Congratulations!!
How sweet and lovely your little lot are, mine just left me with a lot of mess and stuff to for Monday! x
Ah well it may have had something to do with the fact that Actually Daddy was off to New York without me the next day. He’s back and jet-lagged, which makes me feel slightly appeased at missing out π
The honesty of kids is epic… It would appear you are too π x
Hehee lovely comment x
How epic! Love the daisy π My 7yo would also be very quick to tell me how much they spent! Lovely support from your family, and a very well deserved win at the awards xx
Ah thank you so much – so happy!
Love the picture and the importance of the crunchies. Many congratulations on the award, it was great to meet you. Would the combination of you and Annie be actually Saurus? Sounds like world domination.
Just lovely! I love that they call you an epic mummy, how sweet! π
