Three ThingsTuesday

Morning m'dears!

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!

  3. Happy 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'?
    I need some Monty Bojangles, stat.

    1. Thanks 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

  12. Happy 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

    1. Thanks 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
