Victoria Puxty  - Winner !

A Big Thank You!

 

Thank you so much for all those who have voted for me, particularly to my friends and family who have supported me. Thanks to Mum, Dad and Alex who have encouraged me, helped me with the posts, taken time out to take photos of people who mean a lot and places which are special, thank you for nagging your friends to vote for me, I do not say it enough, you are the best!

I have spent a great deal of time, effort and thought on this competition, probably a great deal more than I spent on any school project....

To the folk at Marmite, thank you for this opportunity, it has been fun, excellent, admirable, thought provoking, reminiscence, sad, daunting and now stressful. I have thought about this from the moment I wake until I go to sleep.

Please help me see my friends and family for Christmas. xx

Me AND MARMITE

 

You can be the Marmite to my toast
You can be the butterflies I feel most
You can be the captain and I can be your first mate
You can be the chills that I feel on our first date

You can be the hero and I can be your side kick
You can be the tear that I cry if we ever split
You can be the rain from the cloud when it's stormin'
Or you can be the sun when it shines in the mornin'

Don't know if I could ever be
Without you cause boy you complete me
And in time I know that we'll both see
That we're all we need

Cause your the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry

Cause you are the one for me (for me)
And I'm the one for you for you (for you)
You take the both of us (of us)
And we're the perfect two

We're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two

You can be the prince and I can be your princess
You can be the sweet tooth I can be the dentist
You can be the shoes and I can be the laces
You can be the heart that I spill on the pages

You can be the vodka and I can be the chaser
You can be the pencil and I can be the paper
You can be as cold as the winter weather
But I don't care as long as we're together

Don't know if I could ever be
Without you cause boy you complete me
And in time I know that we'll both see
That we're all we need

Cause you're the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry

Cause your the one for me (for me)
And I'm the one for you (for you)
You take the both of us (of us)
And we're the perfect two

We're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
Marmite me and you
We're the perfect two

You know that I'll never doubt ya
And you know that I think about ya
And you know I can't live without ya

-Being able to go talk to dad, when I've got myself in a spot of trouble
- Watties Tomato Sauce with sausage and bread
-Just seeing the water, the NZ blue Sea.
- the Quality Kiwi Accent
- PINEAPPLE LUMPS

These are just a few things,

Marmite Please choose Me!

 

Ok I thought I should give the background of my moving away. Moved to London from Auckland straight from school, Just after my 18th Birthday I left the comforts of living happily at home, to study Fashion in the big smoke of london.

I was defiantly the poorest student around, not only being a student but competing with the pound as well. So I would pop into the Posh supermarkets and eat all the sample's to be seen.
I also did what all students do, not eat for weeks on end, all the limited pounds I had would be spent on the important things New winter boots and alcohol.

Now that I am approaching my 22nd birthday, have vast fashion experience, an rather large wardrobe and really in need of my mothers chicken pie. Please please send me home Marmite!! xxxxxxxx

My plan for Thursday the 16 Septmeber, Marmite Mission 101 and Renewal of Passport.

 

Ok, So my plan is to hop down to New Zealand House to tomorrow and stock up on my Marmite addition. Then to have my Camera in tow to take many tourist photos of stunning London over the Autumn with my lover marmite.

Not going to lie, properly going to spend the 6 pounds for a block of Black forest as well, to accompany my Kiwi meal.

Dear Marmite, I have been dreaming about Tor coming home for Christmas.... it will be so good to see her. I have been thinking about what we will do on Christmas Day, hopefully we will have Nana and Granddad and Chris and Elaine in the rooms downstairs, oh and Tam the dog. We will get up in the morning have one of Keith's fabulous coffees, may be two, some toast and marmite for breakfast, open some prezzies, open some bubbles.... more family will come around, Aunty E, Uncle Col, Rod Suzanne Harry and baby Erin, have more coffee, bubbles and marmite on toast, cook the turkey on the bbq, more bubbles, cook the veg and heat the Christmas Pud, sit in the sun, watch the kids play with their toys, laugh, cry, relax, enjoy.

I want to get Keith to build a fabulous new outdoor table this year, to fit everyone around, I love big family / friend meals so what I want for Christmas is a fabulous area to enjoy this. I have been thinking it will be 2m wide by 4m long. No more joining the dinning table and bbq table together, which are different widths and heights, really tricky. I am going to put it outside next to the bbq undercover (just in case) though I know it is going to be a balmy summers day, just like the ones I remember from years ago. And when we have eaten too much we will go to bed to prepare for Boxing day when we will drive up to Omaha and spend the day with Campbell and Jill and do it all again. Yeah!!!!! Please marmite bring my girl home. It will not be the same without her. xxx

Judging

Sure, you may have 100,000 facebook friends to vote for you but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re on the plane. It’s a quality, then quantity rule round here. We’ll be making our decision based on originality and creativity, how well your entry fits with the values of the Marmite brand, then popularity.
