Good luck Shells, glad i got on in time for 1 more vote. I hope the marmite team pick you and Scott. We all miss you so very much!! Hopefully we will see you soon! And I must thank Marmite for putting on such an awesome prize give-away. There will be 100 very delighted families in NZ in a couple of months. I hope the Bracken Family are one of them. Thanks, Kerrianne

oh marmite please pick me!!!
this is a wee song i have written, the tune is like 'one day a Taniwha'(or you are my sunshine for those who dont know that one!!)
was going to video me singing but i wouldnt want to subject you to that!!!
One day i was leavin so far,
Away from my Ma and Pa,
They'd whispered in my Taringa,
If you feel that you must go,
Then be safe and we love you so,
You will come back, we know, know, know.
Twelve years have passed since then,
And although I've seen them again,
They're on my mind and in my heart,
My Mummys waiting for me,
Down in old Te Puke,
Oh Marmite please, oh please, pick me!!!!!!!!xx

S.A.D.D
Dear marmite, dark at 7am dark at 7pm and day light saving hasnt even finished!!!!! i can feel the S.A.D.D Coming on!! Please get me home I dont think i can deal with another winter of 'cabin fever'. we dont have a garden cos we are on a first floor flat, so poor scottie has no where to run in thewinter!! i can just imagine him running up and down mum and dads place!!! and also the local pool here has closed because the roof needs fixed and it wont be fixed for months cos ullapool has to raise the money to fix it. Mum has a little swimming pool, would love it if scott could get used to the water, cos he loves it!!! would love to take him to the beach a sandy beach. its all stone beaches here, the nearest beach with sand is about an hour away, Papamoa beach is only 10 mins away and Maketu is 5 mins away from TePuke. These are just a few of the reasons we need to get back to Paradise!!!!xxxxx

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.
