Imagine my delight when, having been nominated in the Mums Club business awards, I was listed as a winner. After nomination, it went to a public vote. It all happened in such a busy week that I hardly had time to seek votes for myself. There was a major competition going on - Team Green Britain where David Green, of the Isle of Wight (where I live) was bidding for a £10,000 prize to be  used for the community and voting was fierce and in fact finished two hours before the Mums Club votes had to be in. I had spent all week on community votes so I was quite burnt out when it came to my own votes. I am thoroughly honoured to find myself voted in in position 25 of the top 100 and am grateful to all those who voted for me. I am now getting to know a new group of business friends as I learn more about the other 99 awards winners.
