Campbell Smythe - Winner !
Dear Marmite
This is my last blog, and I am quite sad about that! I hope you send me home, to my beautiful Onewhero. Christmas with my family would be amazing, I miss home like you wouldn't believe. I have been in london five years, and since that time my little sister has gone from a sweet 12 year old to a suddenly grown up 17year old, she is learning to drive and as her only brother in fact her only sibling and I am missing out on it all. I havent had the time to realise how much I miss home. Im a true kiwi kid, from a small unknown town, I miss my family my car my friends and my land. There is no place like it. Please send me home marmite, its a decision you wont regret. Campbell

Marmite im missing my nz tan, so i improvised!
Introducing the marmite tan, a warm natural glow with luminous spheres. Easily applicable the marmite tan offers those abroad a natural kiwi look. Break out the jandels and rock out the boardies, I got the tan on!

Nothing more kiwi than some good ole fush and chups in Kaiaua!
I believe its hapuka im hoeing down on! The brits dont understand the idea of eating fish and chips off paper (best way) they dont understand the tomato sauce on your corner of the paper rule and they certainly dont get the range of fish! Send me home for some good kiwi tucker please marmite!
27 October 10 at 10:10am
I remember that! We had just come back from miranda hot springs i think, that was one awesome day. I haven't had good fish and chips for ages. Good times. I love the t-shirt too.

I'd grow a mullet for you Marmite...
A trip home would give me the time to embrace the full mullet. Its no ordinary mullet, its well kept, clean with no split ends. It can be tied up (undercut optional) or styled in curls. My mum would not agree, but this is the lengths I am willing to go to for your Marmite to prove im worth it, this mullet takes true kiwi dedication.

It rained on the weekend....
but that isnt the news, the point is I had to run down to the offy (shop) to grab some milk (mulk) and it was chucking it down. So out come the redbands. Ah I do love living in london, but there really is no place like home. The old saying of you can take the boy out of the country but you cant take the country out of the boy. Its been five years that I have lived in London and since then my one and only sibling harriet has grown from a wee girl into a moody teenager that is as tall as me (freak) and already planning what university to go to. Where has the time gone marmite. I need to go home, not only to do the things I miss and see the people I love but also there is nothing better ( and im sure every kiwi living overseas will agree) to look down as the plane circles over NZ, the water glistens, the airport is tiny and you know that in ten minutes your going to step foot on NZ soil. Its how every explorer would have felt when the nz coastline came into view, and that feeling doesnt change. dorothy had it right, there is no place like home.

The most dangerous ride of my life probably, through the streets of saigon. but marmite was there with me all the way.

I got my dad to post me over some redbands, couldnt be out and about in 'wellingtons'. The postage cost more than the boots but it was worth it, you can take the boy out of the country...

Please marmite, i miss my brother soooooo much i really want him home for chirstmas and it would mean the world to me. There is a big family chirstmas dinner with all the wilson whanau from hawkes bay planned this year which doesn't happen very often and i am sure that they would love to see you again. So please marmite bring my brother home for chirstmas so he can meet some of the family he has never met, and eat himself silly. Normally i get excited for christmas but i'm not at the moment and i won't be until you say that my brother is on a flight home so please marmite!!!
