Okay, so the image is a bit blurred and the exposure a bit squiffy, but I just had to post this shot and link it to #MySundayPhoto. It was taken on Friday afternoon at the BritMums Live conference when all attendees took part in a successful Guinness World Record attempt. The record; to wrap as many people as mummies in three minutes in one go.
I think the image captures just how surreal the moment was. I thought the room looked very much like some kind of comedy horror film.
Pity Charly Dove of the PodcastDove blog. Charly was one of the volunteers from our table who was wrapped up in lavatory paper. A Guinness official had to go round and inspect every single mummy to ensure they met the criteria and, being at the very back of the room, Charlie was the last person to be inspected so was stood at the back getting very hot for a good 15-20 minutes!
I’ll write more about BritMums Live in the next couple of days. For those interested in the Brilliance in Blogging Awards, however, I didn’t win in the family category. That went to the WryMummy blog, a very well deserved win it was too.
Wishing you all a happy Father’s Day!

Fab picture! It certainly was a surreal moment. Let’s hope we can hang onto the record for long enough to make it into the book this year!
If we don’t make it into the record book I’m gonna do a Kanye.
It was a great weekend wasn’t it? Great to meet you too, even if it was in a bar where I was the only one not drinking 🙂
Sharon, it was great to meet you. I hope you had a good time and best of luck with the pregnancy.
It certainly was a little odd…. Really great to meet you x
Delighted to meet you Aby. You’re gonna go far.
That’s certainly not something you see every day! Thanks for sharing #mysundayphoto
True, you don’t see that every day. Although that may not be a bad thing!
Poor Charly!! It did take quite some time before the room went from comedy horror to the aftermath of an Andrex ad gone wrong! Great to meet you John! 🙂
Lovely to meet you also Sam.
So glad I made it, would have been so embarrassing otherwise! I put it down to the skilled wrappers! Great to see you, hope you had a good time 🙂
I did Charly and it was great to meet you again.
What a great photo! It looks like so much fun was had x
Huge amounts of fun!
Great photo and it was good to catch up. Hope you had a good weekend
Thank you for linking up
I had a marvellous weekend and hope it isn’t a year until we meet again.
What a fun night, Clio lending a helping hand for Coombe Mill
Oh it was CLio, very fun indeed.
What a fun shot. I was wrapped too and had lots of fun. However I felt Charlies pain because I holding your arms up for that long was a task and a half.
Oh I really feel for all the mummies. Holding arms up for so long must have been very difficult indeed.
It was a very strange afternoon. I think you may have caught me in the photo too. I was too near the back, and was very thankful when I was checked over, it wasn’t the heat, more the arm burn for holding arms up that long. Ouch. Was lovely meeting you even when you were intoxicated 😉 #mysundayphoto
Great to meet you too Stacey. Hope your arms have recovered.
Looks like chaos, but does look lots of fun! Not your average Friday afternoon!
It was far removed from any Friday afternoon I have experienced in the past. Unique, but fun.
It was quite surreal wasn’t it?! Lovely to meet you, and to wrap a mummy with you… Not something I ever thought I’d hear myself say 🙂
Indeed Sara, delighted to meet you and in such fun circumstances!
Congrats to everyone! Heard its a lovely event and I wish I can go next year! #mysundayphoto
I hope you make it next year Merlinda. It is well worth attending if you can.
This was such a great weekend , the whole mummy thing was very strange but lots of fun #mysundayphoto
It was a marvellous weekend. Loved it.
The mummy-wrapping was great, especially as I was wrapping and not being wrapped!
Yeah, glad I was doing the wrapping too!
