Hi, my name is Ebony, but I should have been called Marmite. I am 18yrs and live at Adrian’s house in NZ, I've known Nicola Manners for 18 yrs as well. I like Marmite on my cat food, but I have to live with 2 pesky little dogs that love Marmite too... I think it is so purrrrrrrect that Adrian will come home for Christmas as I never thought I would see him again.

Got an extra vote... give it too Nicola Manners!

Thanks to everyone for the massive support in trying to get me home for Christmas dinner with my ma & pa. If you have any vote's left over each day, can I recommend you send them Nicola Manners way! She has given the last 4 years to the forgotten kids of Uganda. I have the pleasure of having known her for as many years as I have been alive, I've visited the babies home's she run's in Uganda and can say with out a doubt there is no kiwi more deserving of a Marmite fueled flight home for Christmas than her. A vote for her is a vote for the awesome work she is doing! Eat Marmite...!
