Member of the Month - Mrs Dobby!

[shirlthegirl43]

Congratulations Mrs D!!

You said you didn't feel you had done anything to deserve the MOM award - but look at the posts you have made in your short time on the Vine!

I don't contribute much as I am learning (pretty fast mind you) and spend most of my time gleaning information and tips from you worthy grapes. It is my hope that one day I will give back some of the wisdom I have borrowed from the vine.

Well done and enjoy your month.

Well done Mrs D, enjoy your month and goodie bag.

Well done Mrs D - most of the others have got in before me but just to echo their comments. You never know how these things will go but you would have been one of my favourites to get it as your posts are consistantly informed and / or amusing, please keep it up. As I said, well done.

Thanks Alison, I do try to post what I have picked up and to have a bit of fun, but sometimes I think my weak attempts at humour are way off the mark, so its nice to hear they are appreciated!

Thanls BW, I'm still somewhat in shock, but I think its finally sinking in!

Thanks Sue A! Mr D treating me like a new MOM, well if it includes pulling my leg about it every two minutes (then smiling in that new parent type of way, I think he's actually very proud of me, I've never really won anything much before), then yes he is! lol!

Jolly good show Mrs D...you deserve it ..well done..best wishes

Thanks Skipper, tis appreciated!

Congratulations Mrs D!

I'm slowly working my way through the excellent recipes you've put up on the site - another very well deserved MOM

[Mrs Dobby]

Thanks HM, I'm glad you are enjoying the recipies, I know I do every time I make one of them, either ones I have or that come from everyones excellent posts on the vine! In fact, I'm doing Shirl's venison casserole tonight, the smell coming from the kitchen is wonderful, cant wait for Mr D to get home for tea!

Wahey - at last I posted something useful!!! Hope it tastes as good as it sounds!!!

[Mrs Dobby]

Lol Shirley! Everyone's posts are useful, even those from newbies such as myself or less experienced members (me again! lol!)!

If any of us post in asking questions, then it not only stimulates others to give answers, but those answering may also learn something from anothers answer, plus it will add to the database of knowledge on here and may just be something that someone else had wanted to ask but didnt feel they were able (for fear of feeling silly, which is daft, cos the only stupid question is the one you dont ask for fear of looking silly) or hadnt yet thought of the words to ask the question (or hadnt really thought about what it was that the question was about yet!).

If we post in sharing memories or experiences or even just having some fun and banter, then it not only helps to build the happy community spirit of the vine, but also gives others a better understanding of who we are in the real world!

If we post in with ideas or recipies, then it is to the enrichment of all who read them!

And if we do manage to post in with advice, then we are returning the knowledge which we have learnt from others to the wider community and helping others, which has to be to the betterment of us all!

And lastly, if the venison tastes half as good as it smells, then it will be absolutely delicious, I'll let you know later after we've eaten it! Only another 2 hours till Mr D gets home and we can eat!
