You can't fail to notice that the World Cup is well and truly in full swing and now that England have been knocked out we all need something to compensate with right???

Now Ive admitted, Im not a massive football fan, I'll be patriotic and watch the England games but thats about as far as it goes. And lets be honest there is something about sitting around together watching the football, complete with beverage of choice in one hand and a few nibbles in the other.

A bit of a different post from me today but you know what they say, a change can do you good! So embrace it people and hold on for the ride. Following the Midlands Blogger Meet up which I attended last saturday (which you can read all about here) I was contacted by the lovely people at Swizzels Matlow who had been one of the sponsors of the event asking if I was interested in writing a blog post all about the exiting things they have going on for the 60th Anniversary.

Now I have been a lover of Swizzels Matlows sweets forever! Sweets are my thing and I love a lot of their sweets! In fact I remember quite vividly walking home from Primary school and mum used to let us call in the shop and get 20p worth of sweets (back in the day when you could have a couple of things for 20p!) on a friday as an end of week treat! Remember those teeth and toothbrushes you used to get and I always used to pretend to brush the mini teeth with the tooth brush! Apparently you can still get them - who knew! And of course who could forget the famous drumstick lolly! You just can't help but love it!

To be honest I was actually shocked when I found out that love hearts were celebrating their 60th Anniversary! Who knew they had been around that long!
To celebrate this milestone anniversary Swizzels Matlow are holding a fantastic money can't buy competition where you could win the chance to have a VIP tour of their factory and also see a love heart which you design be created!! They are giving 10 people this fantastic opportunity and not only do you get to see your sweets being made, the sweets will also go on sale!!! I mean that really is a money can not buy prize - Imagine nipping into the shop and picking up a packet and seeing your very own sweet staring back at you! The winners of the competition will also receive overnight accommodation for themselves and a friend and spending money!!! What more could you actually want!

If you fancy entering this amazing competition (I know I will be - I would LOVE to visit their factory - can you just imagine the smell of sweets!!!) then all you need to do is click on the image below and it will take you right to the page on their website! Good luck lovelies!
