As people may have seen a while back, my hubby got a tweet from West Ham player Carlton Cole who had given him his training T-shirt at a midweek game and replied when my hubby thanked him for it. That was it! The war was on! I needed to get a retweet / reply or favourite from someone well known too! As much as it's a bit of fun, I do feel quite silly tweeting people who although I know who they are in a public sense, are strangers. None the less, my husband was adamant that I wouldn't be able to get some kind of Twitter contact from a well known face. I just had to prove him wrong!

So every now and then, if I saw an opportunity to reply to a tweet or to tweet a public figure about something they may find interesting, I would...to no avail. In the meantime, hubby got yet ANOTHER reply to a tweet from yet ANOTHER footballer (I am beginning to think these footballers have a lot of time on their hands!)

Then, last night, something brilliant happened!!

Ok so it wasn't a retweet or a reply but it was indeed an acknowledgement! A tweet I sent to stand up comedian Lee Mack about being a big fan of his sitcom 'Not Going Out' was read by the man himself and favourited!! Wahooo! Needless to say I was quick to boast to hubby who didn't see it as much of a success but I informed him that because he had read it and favourited it, he had acknowledged it and therefore, it was just as good as a reply.
