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.

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
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.
I have the funniest readers in the blogosphere (not necessarily ha ha…)
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 🙂

It never occurred to me to look them up; it only occurs to me to eat them. Thank goodness I have erudite readers.
