   Have been waiting to hit 5 million for a while, and today the views finally clicked over to 5,001,113
   
   Unfortunately, there's no accolade for 5 million, but there really should be! It's a bloody long wait from 1 to 10 million.

      All of these figures are overwhelming. I'm just a little shy of 7,300 and I've been writing at Hub Pages for nearly two years. A million a year?
      
      I guess I'm writing about the wrong things, but I can only be me.

    That is definitely a chuff-worthy accomplishment.  Congratulations! 
    I have a whopping 471 (the 1 is important when the total number is so wee) views of which I'm guessing approximately 97.83% are mine.  Most of which occurred when I was taking the long way around to the editing page.  5m is a very very long way off but thank you for showing it's possible.

    Wow, that is absolutely amazing Susana! 5 million can only be achieved by the masters so you should be so chuffed. Well done, that is truly inspirational. That is a great motivation for me, I am trying my best to get the 100,000 accolade, should get it by May/June. You should make a hub on some of your tips and knowledge, 5 million views makes you one of the elite here on HP. Congrats again.

       I so want to write a hub with all the tips I've learned the hard way....it's just finding the time. I am not a fast writer and with a little baby to look after as well I end up prioritising other things when I'm online. But I will make a concerted effort to write that hub this year ok? Promise!

    This is a chuff:
    
    
    
    In the Home Counties it might be called a 'chough', of course.
    
    Both chuff and chough will peck out your eyes if your are feeling below par.
