I’m sorry I didn’t wear a headscarf or a crate, great ideas though they were. We are so poor, I couldn’t afford to buy them. All of our money was lost in the Great Malteser Rush of ’92.

This Is Me:

I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.

Poetry Can Be Fun…Honest
Today is National Poetry Day. I was going to bring you some fun and interesting facts about poetry, but you know what? There aren’t any. Not on the internet, anyway. Poetry is dull. By the way, remember to check out my poetry blog, I’m Not A Verse. * * * * * I did find […]

Fascinating False Facts?
Viewfromtheside offered fascinating as the weekend theme. I thought you might like some fascinating facts. Can you guess which, if any, are true? You can’t fold paper more than seven times. You can, actually, if you are young and determined and rope in your family and a shopping mall. From Wikipedia: In January 2002, while a […]

I Knew Him Back When
With apologies to Paul, who might not find this blog to be quite what he was expecting. Take a look at this You Tube video. This – boy? young man? lad? What do I call him? He’s of a similar age to Tory Boy but obviously we are not on similar terms. I’ll call him ‘person’ […]

My Perfect Old Bag
I have long been in search of the perfect handbag. It must be black; have a short and long handle, so that I can carry it down, under my arm, over my shoulder or over my chest; it must not be so big that I carry a load of junk around with me that I […]

Here’s some Malteser research I found while doing my recent project for another chocolate manufacturer:
The current Maltesers’ slogan is “The lighter way to enjoy chocolate” – earlier slogans have included “The sweet with the less-fattening centre”, “No ordinary chocolate” and “Nothing pleases like Maltesers”. The Australian version also contains the line: “Made in Australia… …exported to the world.” In the 1930s, advertisements claimed that the Maltesers honeycomb center is seven times less fattening than ordinary chocolate centers, this made marketers claim it was beneficial for weight loss.
This was fascinating, but where’s the complimentary box to accompany it?
Thanks
Only darling Cindy could provide us with Malteser research.
It never occurred to me to look them up; it only occurs to me to eat them. Thank goodness I have erudite readers.
