How are you?
This is the first post I've ever written before work, but I just could wait to share these three things with you all:
1. Overheard Quotes
I'm really late to the party with this, but these quotes overheard in London are hilarious. Some of my favourites include:
"Croydon is like a horse. It smells, everybody thinks it's dangerous, but ultimately it's INCREDIBLE."
"I love the idea of a hero in a half shell. It's like chicken in a basket."
"Isn't cauliflower just the ghost of broccoli?"
"Imagine how long it would take to butter a towel"
"I am to biscuits what "Breaking Bad" is to crystal meth."
There are new ones every week, and there's always at least one that makes me laugh out loud.
2. Discovering the wonders of Monty Bojangles.
I can't speak for the chocolate, because I haven't actually tried it yet (I know, I know- what is WRONG with me?!) but the packaging is INCREDIBLE. Any truffles which are marketed by a feline version of Phileas Fogg in rainbow-coloured steampunk have got to be pretty epic, right? And the Choccy Scoffy ones have won a Taste Award too.

I've pinched the picture above from the dieline's article explaining why the packaging above is so much prettier than the version currently on Monty's own website. If I ever get a tattoo, I definitely want it to be designed by Springetts. You can buy the beautiful versions in Waitrose.
3. 100 followers
Yippee!! Yesterday morning this little slice of the internet reached 100 followers :) Although I know it's actually more like 102, as my in-laws are both avid readers and my biggest fans :p
Thank you so much to each and every one of you for being so darn lovely and leaving such sweet comments. You've made writing this so much more fun, and turned my incessant Googling of Jo Manganiello into legitimate "blog research".
Keep your eyes peeled for a giveaway coming up here in the next week or so, once I've tracked down a prize that's suitably awesome enough.
Have a great Tuesday!

Yay, hurrah for 100 bloglovins!!! I have a mere 70 in that capacity! Ha, the Monty B's sound super! Hurrah for that!!! Two blogs in 2 days??? I'm delighted! X
ReplyDeleteThanks m'dear :) I'm thrilled to have delighted you! xxx
DeleteWoah. Where are you hanging out in London? I want to go there. Love those comments!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the followers! Have a great Tuesday. xxx
I think the quotes are gathered from all over London- I didn't hear them personally. Cheers lovely- hope you've had a good one too! xxx
DeleteHappy 100 mofo. Not sure why i went all 'street' with the well wishes...does that even count as 'street'? Is it possible to say 'street' without the "? Is that why I'll never be 'street'?
ReplyDeleteI need some Monty Bojangles, stat.

You're more street than Sesame Street, mofo. They're a ruddy bargain too - you've got to get on it. xxx
DeleteOh those overheard snippets are great! Happy 100 too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Louise :) xxx
DeleteThose quotes are ace - I love catching hilarious snippets of other people's conversations. I still laugh at some of the things I overheard when I lived in brixton. Thanks for all your lovely comments on my blog btw. Happy tuesday from your 100th follower (yeah, I feel pretty special) X
ReplyDeleteYou're super special (in the best way :) )! Listening to other people's conversations is my favourite thing to do on public transport. xxx

Thanks lovely! xxx
DeleteCongratulations on 100 followers! Those quotes are hilarious! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Zoe! xxx
DeleteSERIOUSLY, those chocolates are ridiculously addictive!!! Cute packaging and chocolates as deliciously addictive as pringles, could you ask for anything more?!
ReplyDeleteThanks for warning me Sophie- perhaps I'll move the truffles into individual boxes and ask Tom to hide them round the house so I don't eat them all in one go. Then again, maybe not... xxx
DeleteCongrats on your 100 followers!

Thanks Tallia! xxx
DeleteI love those quotes! They really made me chuckle! Monty Bojangles chocolates are amazing! I always buy my husband loads of the truffles for Christmas. Congrats reaching 100 followers. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky husband you have! I think everyone in my life might be getting a box for Christmas (including me, obviously) xxx
DeleteHappy 100 followers! You totally deserve 100s more than that though! I'm definitely bookmarking the chocolate as well - think I'll try and leave the webpage open on the computer for Andrew to see (whether he takes any notice of course, is a completely different matter...) :-) xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Louisa :) That sounds like an excellent plan! If it doesn't work, maybe print out a few copies and stick them in Andrew's van/shoes/face? xxx
DeleteCongratulations on the 100 followers!! <3
ReplyDeleteWell Done on reaching 100 followers - here's to the next 100!
