Quote of the week
Bucharest on the potentially perilous pitfalls of pregnancy: "You get so used to grown men whose first names you don't know shuftying about up your nethers that you have to chant to yourself, like a mantra, in the dentist's waiting room, "Don't take your pants off, it's just teeth this time."
Recipe of the week
Porpoise's red berry pavlova: lashings of strawberries and cream for Wimbledon finals weekend - with the ace addition of a crunchy, chewy meringue base. Serve with panache and await a grateful chorus of, "Ooh, I say!"

oh wow, that's a that prize! i'm very envious
Alexia - The prize consisted of a fabulous Head tennis racquet in its own case; a pair of Fred Perry tennis shoes with their own cotton drawstring bag (white, v. tasteful; a Fred Perry V-neck jumper (black, beautiful merino wool, v.tasteful) and a rucksack (Navy with only a small Highland Spring logo in white on it). When I was phoned by the PR lady re sizes, I gave sizes to fit dd (she's 12 in a couple of weeks). She is completely thrilled as she plays tennis at school in the summer term.
Oh also a lovely handwritten letter from the aforementioned Sarah apologising for the prize taking so long to arrive

Thanks Alexia and Mumsnet, Nintendo DS plus game and book arrived today.
Cammelia - and it took some chasing! I'm glad it finally arrived, what did you get exactly?
I felt sorry for our host, Sarah, must have driven her mad!

Thanks Alexia.
I should have saved the happy news for the 1000th post shouldnt I.
EustaciaVye - blimey, i nearly fell off my chair! 
Just to let you know the replacement Barbies have come already! Thank you
DS prizes were sent out today, apologies for the delay, they had a backlog in run to Christmas

1legmummy - Build-A-Bear vouchers should be posted out to you this week
some good news - highland spring prizes have finally arrived, oursponsor should hopefully get this posted out tomorrow...
right - who else is still waiting for prizes? (probably 99.9% of the winners i picked last year) 
Hi Fennel - right, i'm going to be little firmer with them this time!
I've all Christmas for these, but their offices closed until today.
will get this sorted asap!

The picture has arrived framed, with the igglepiggle in the designed oufit with blanket, talks and plays music and it's in offical packaging.

Alexia - You have mail. Thank you so much for this. I didnt expect the sponsor to do anything
Flame - thank you very much for the offer of the crown. Looks like I wont be needing to ask

Alexia, I don't suppose you've heard more re ITNG please. Nothing additional (pic from BBC or goodie bag) has yet arrived.
1legmummy oh dear, i hope it hasn't been lost in the post...i'll look into this for you
Hi EustaciaVye
Our very kind sponsors have said they'll send new dolls to you, could you email me your details at alexia@mumsnet.com

Hi I was one of the winners in the build a bear comp. I have not received anything yet - I wondered if you could chase it for me as I just read one of the winners got theirs on 29th Dec.
Thought I was waiting patiently, but have two Sons and two Neices who are desperate to go get their "christmas presents"
Thank you xx

Hunker, mine too. It arrived within a week.
Btw we have a new Winners corner thread 2009, i'll be announcing winners here form now on
I think some sponsors are much quicker at posting out prizes than others 
Wow @ your prize, t'moth.
I would have loved that prize
Alexia, I really hope Dettol do give the prize again. Next time round though, it might help everyone if they specify a budget ie up to £500 worth of house cleaning, as the original competition did not state this and I think this caused some confusion with the Dettol PR company and the cleaning company.
We live in a 3 bed house, so pretty average I guess. However if we had lived in a 10 bed mansion, the top to bottom house clean would have cost Dettol quite a lot more!

What a prize tigermoth!
Aww poor Alexia!
I had a prize arrive fairly swiftly once but that was when JJ was in charge...
Hunker - My prize came within a fortnight, with a little compliments slip saying congratulations
EustaciaVye if you don't get new dolls, I can't fix the singing, but I can send you one of the crowns from DD's - she will lose it soon enough anyway!

PinkJenny - why did you enter a maternity comp?
Hello tigermoth - god that sounds like an amazing prize!
I'm glad you are pleased with the results, and i'll pass on your kinds words to Dettol and let them know we'd be keen to run this competition again

Just sending a big thank you for the Dettol house clean prize. The clean took place just before Christmas and in a magical day, two cleaners cleaned my house from top to bottom (a feat I have never managed in that time scale!).
A rep from the cleaning company had visited a few weeks earlier and we went through each room, discussing what would need to be done. I then moved away clutter as agreed and the cleaners did the rest.
What really added to their efforts was the carpet clean. We have carpets in every room, including the bathroom, so it was wonderful to have them restored to something approaching their original state.
It was a fab prize and helped to make our Christmas extra special and I am still basking in the glory of a cleaner house. Having to declutter for the cleaners did us a world of good.
I hope Dettol offer this prize again in a future Mumsnet competition - it really was life enhancing. There was some confusion over the extent of the carpet cleaning, but hopefully this will be sorted next time round.
Thank you mumsnet!!!

If they're vouchers, etc or small things, can you have delivered to the office so they're ready to send before the competition starts?
Or can you post more and more derogatory things about the company sponsoring the prize if the weeks go by and they fail to deliver?
Do get a Rottweiler though. If nothing else, you can threaten trolls with it!

hi EustaciaVye funny you should ask as the last couple of weeks i had thought of that wonderful idea. I think i'll put it into the guidelines for next year! Whether is all runs more smoothly is another story!
Hopefully the packaging wont be a problem, besides it would have been all ripped open anyway!
And yes...why am was i working on a Mon evening

hunkermunker - don't tempt me with such wonderful ideas... I think i'll run Christmas competitions in June next year, that should leave plenty of time for them to arrive!

Alexia - I have emailed you. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I have won the £500 Blossom Mother and Child vouchers.
Erm, I'm not pregnant, and dd is too old for their clothes. I have called them to see if they do a non-maternity range, and they do a limited collection, however it is not available on line, and I live in Liverpool. As their stores are in London, I can't get down there to spend my vouchers on their non-maternity stuff!
I know I do sound really ungrateful. Soz. What can I do????????
[whining emoticon]

Thanks Alexia. Just to clarify though, I no longer have any of the packaging as it got lost in the Christmas chaos.
Out of interest do you have service levels in place with your sponsors? For example, winner will be contacted within x days, item will be despatched within x days etc. You seem to be forever chasing the sponsors which must be a drain on MN resources.
And why are you working on a Monday evening?

Are there any competitions where people win their prizes, their prizes arrive swiftly and everyone's happy? Alexia, you must want to cut your head off at times! You have the patience of a saint! Maybe invest in a Rottweiler in the NY?
HallelujahHeisBorntoMary - sorry you've not received this yet,I have chased for this, but they are out of office until 5th Jan, i'll give them a call next week though if they don;t response on monday
EustaciaVye - oh that's not nearly good enough, let me just send them a really kind email explaining the situation, this is rather disappointing, i'm sure it was a mistake and i'll just see if they are able to send you new dolls...thanks for posting this
Hi Alexia,
I was very lucky to win the Barbie Diamond Castle prize ages ago. I gave them the DVD straight away and I saved the dolls & flying horse for DDs for Christmas. They were thrilled. (as was I as it saved me loads of £).
Only problem was that when we opened them, one of the dolls had a broken crown. And the other one's batteries had run out, When we finally got to a shop to find the little tiny circle batteries we have found that the doll only sings one song instead of the two she is meant to. Not a huge problem but it means it is a bit hard to co-ordinate the 2 dolls to sing together
Not posting this to moan, or to expect you to do anything, but I just felt you should know really. Perhaps the sponsors should check the products before they send them out.

Was the blardy hell to me ??
The reason i let my 3 spend them was because if I had taken 5 children as the prize stated, then that wouldn't have been enough for a bear and an outift each so i'd of then had to have told guest children to bring extra money with them to buy an outift, plus pay for mine to have an outfit too.
Also I don't drive so there would of been the problem of how to get all 5 children to the shop without me losing one.

Blardy hell.
Really??
Really??
Thanks Alexia, it was ok you could spend them on anything, we took them with us shopping and asked.
Tbh I think the party was something you just organised yourself and then gave each guest a voucher. There was no mention of anything else in with the vouchers.
In the end I rather greedily let my 3 spend them all. They all had a bear, and outfit and were absolutly thrilled.
Thanks MN

Hmmm I had hoped the DS games etc would have arrived a long time before this...i'll chase these again
Thanks for letting me know
Thanks for letting me know
Hi IllegallyBrunette I would have thought that you can spend them on anything at Build-A-Bear Workshop...do the voucher make reference to HSM? If not then I would presume it can indeed be spent on anything, I'll drop them an email just to confirm.
Did you receive a party as well?
Did you receive a party as well?
No sign of the Nintendo DS here either, although maybe it will take more time, what with Christmas and all. 
Hi Alexia, do you know wether the build a bear vouchers have to be spent on high school musical stuff ??
I recieved the vouchers today with a short note, but it doesn't say if they have to be spent on hsm stuff or if you can use more than one voucher per person.
My dc are dying to go and spend them but I can't see ds wanting hsm stuff.

Well done, Wilf!
Don't abandon the barricades until you've actually got your paws on the goodies though.

You can have Bill Oddie.
I've been here since 18th September.
It has come to light that my prize didn't really exist though, so I need to be referred to a prize specialist.

Thank you so much. Me and DH will be playing all nightDS will be delighted!
And I only canvassed because someone else started first. And I did ask permission first [though no f*cker answered my newbie-ish post about whether I would get blackballed. And clearly I have .
I'd like to think pure wit and genius won through [arf]

H, I won in the 'babies in sheeps clothing' comp about 9 days ago, it's maybe a bit soon to be checking my mailbox but just wanted to make sure the prize is on its way - thanks!
Well done Nutty and Wilf!
[sgrin] Thanks ever so much, my dc will be thrilled about this.
glad this thread it reaching 1000 I get excited when I see my name in the OP then realise its not a new prize
Congratulations to GoodWilfToAllMN you've won a box of PopCap games worth £100 in our Christmas name change competition!

Who won the Hamleys vouchers?
Can I just ask how do you actually enter a competition? I would like to win the toy box and have done a profile page as asked. Does the mighty MN automatically know that I have entered? Do I have to go somewhere else to say that I have and which prize I would like? Or am I doomed to a life of prizeless grey mediocrity through my own ignorance?

I'm not offended! I'm very sorry that winners are having to wait more than a few days for the prizes, but we do everything we can to ensure that they do arrive without any problems.
We don't actually keep the prizes at MNHQ and when chasing we are informed that they will be dispatched within a week etc but our hosts are often chasing another department etc so it can be a bit slow!!
Apologies to anyone who has/or is waiting for their prize to arrive

alexia, I just saw your post addressed to me on the DS thread - sorry to confuse you, I am not waiting for a prize myself (I have never won one )
I just know of a few individuals who have been left in limbo and didn't like to keep nagging you about it, and I thought that was a bit off - IMO MN should be following up & making sure people have received the prizes they were told they had won, not leaving it up to them to chase the donors (& eventually giving up because it doesn't seem worth the effort)

Miaou, you've nothing to be sorry for - the people who said they'd give a prize were perfectly happy to take the publicity - they should honour the prize.
Alexia, don't take it personally. Surely you want people to get their prizes? That's rhetorical - I know you must do!

I don't think I'm being an ingrate, WalkinginaWaynettaWonderland. I won a prize, my kids are excited about it, and disappointed that nothing has materialised. I could have let it go, admittedly, but tbh I think that's as disingenuous to Mumsnet as it is to me - they're going to think that Ladybird have upheld their end of the bargain, unless I tell them otherwise.
And I'm sorry if you find that offensive, I can't imagine why you would.
alexia, thank you. I will email you in the morning.

many thanks
many thanks
Alexia, just so's you know. If I was so lucky as to ever win anything on MN though I am not holding my breath, I would never hassle you like these ingrates are --<snort>--
Sorry to give you more work Alexia, but I won the Ladybird competition eons ago and have still never heard from them. I know you have chased them once already for me but they've not come back to me.
So who won the Hamleys vouchers? nothing on home page and nothing here, i thought it was supposed to be announced today.
LMAO @ Humphreys!
i'll send another email to you, I don't know what happened to the one this morning...
i'll send another email to you, I don't know what happened to the one this morning...
No problem guys, I've re-sent your details over and asked ever so nicely if they could send before Christmas!
Thanks Alexia
My game isn't here either but I'm too polite to say so.
Hi Fennel
I'm so sorry your prize hasn't arrived, i will chase again right now!
I'm so sorry your prize hasn't arrived, i will chase again right now!

Pls could you resend it?
Does it have the title 'Look At What You Could Have Won!', that necessitates it to be read in a Jim Bowenesque voice?

I am getting a little concerned, I won a ds lite on 28 Nov and nothing has arrived yet. I did email you but no reply.
Is it likely to come, and if so will it be before Christmas?

I see I have not yet won my right to post in Winners' Corner
For some reason the Christmas Namechange closing date seems to be have changed. After the original deadline had passed. Doesn't seem very fair to me (defeat being snatched from the jaws of victory by my own campaigning perhaps? enforced disqualification? general F*ck up at HQ...?)
I'm NOT AT ALL bitter and twisted and desperate for PopCap games.

Hi Alexia.
Just wondered if there was any good news?
Just wondered if there was any good news?
Alexia, TooTicky's stuff was from Secret Santa not a competition. All sorted
TooTicky....i'm not sure what those are from??
where did they come from? Have you taken part on anything in Mumsnet recently e.g. products tests, surveys?

Here you go Shitemum - Babies in Sheeps Clothing
Build-A-Bear winners coming VERY soon
Alexia, it's fantastic - the camera arrived..!!! I am sooooooo pleased, I can't tell you! I'll be shooting pictures of assorted family members ad nauseam for the next weeks - what incredible good timing (as most of these family members I don't get to see that often). RIght. Off to charge the battery and pour over instructions.
Thank you thank you thank you!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!
Have the build-a-bear winners been announced?
That's great - I'm actually going away for 2 weeks from Sunday, so if it arrived before then that would be fab. I'm sure the neighbours would rescue any parcels lingering on my doorstep, but if it gets sent recorded it usually gets returned to sender after a week, I think.
Sorry to be a pain, but do you think the kind camera people would be able to send it before Sunday...? Thanks for all the effort either way!

i'll chase that up for you, make sure it hasn't slipped through the net!
And the DVD does look fantastic - congratulations should provide some quality entrainment!

No, no camera yet..
Brilliant news julen - have you recieved the camera though?
ALexia, just received the dvd (The child and the Fox) - many thanks!! I'm going to save it for the hols, it looks like such a lovely story.. Wonderful: saved from Cbeebies for 90 mins!
Alexia, rec'd the princess goodies on 11/12- fab stuff - dd will be over the moon ! Have a gr8 Xmas
Erm, could someone remind me what I've won exactly? The original link for entering is showing this weeks comps now....
I've won the 'Babies in Sheeps' clothing' comp!
I only entered because I saw the post from MN HQ saying that those of us living outside the UK could enter! Some natural justice there I think...
...and for those of you who know I live in the South of Spain and assume sheepskin clothing will be wasted on my DD2 - it's blardy freezing here in Granada, I can see the snowy mountains from my window, am about to buy a woodburning stove and we were caught in a hail storm last week!
Oh, I am happy, I never win anything normally...

Alexia, do you have any idea if the ITAX/Tantrum prize will come in the next week? DD's mad devil possessed hair could do with a cut before christmas, and I'd much rather those nice people did it rather than me If it's not, no problem, just wanted to know - I'm sure I've got a paperbag around here somewhere.......

I have some possible progress, I'm hoping that I've been contacting the wrong number and address as I think the details were noted down wrong or they abbreviated the name.
I've had a response so far but they are looking into it (need to check they did in fact run a comp with us!) I'll keep you posted

Hi Alexia, i am still waiting for the prize i won in september
hi Alexia - can you look at my message on CIN thread below, not sure if we got the correct prize, or if more to come ?
Hi guys - so sorry to those of you who are still waiting for your prizes, I will chase again tomorrow and try to ensure these all arrive before Christmas!
I think so too Flame! Lets share the excitement!
I'm worried that several of the animals at London Zoo will have become extinct before we get to see them.
Alexia, Hawkins Bazaar haven't yet sent me (Threadworm btw) the third DVD -- Space Chimps -- that was part of the Halloween namechange prize.
It was due to be sent on 1 Dec. Do you think you could chase them up at all?
Thanks!

I was wondeirng if the Odd Bodz toys will come before Christmas as well.
Alexia - what's happening with the little princess goodies ? - will they arrive before christmas
I think we need to get together and drink a lot of caffeine - I can see it being an oddly bouncy experience
Well Flame, it does seem that way. I was the most excited person in the office too...
Psst Alexia... do you think we need to get a life? No-one else seems as excited...
I know how exciting - finally our international members can enter, sorry it's taken so long!
it's just the build a bear one, but it's their rules not mine! Feel free to enter a few more times
FINALLY international prize! I feel like non-internationals shouldn't enter (but I only thought of that after I entered )
)
Alexia,
Are all competitions one entry per person or is it just the build a bear one?

That was very very nice of them. And they refunded the return-postage cost. I will now visit their website and get a pressie for DSs. It's about time I started Christmas shopping.

Oh dear, sorry for all of you still waiting for prizes.
Sometimes it does take a while, as we don't keep the prizes at MNHQ it's a case of chasing our sponsors.
I'll continue to nag until your missing prizes arrive though.
Ledody i'd hope that the Odd Boddz toys would arrive before Christmas!

Do you reckon the Odd Bodz stuff will get here before Christmas, Alexia? Only we haven't bought ds1 anything yet and this would be a great main present but don't want to rely on it if it won't get here iyswim.
It's been ever such a long time..and my Smart books still haven't arrived. I was so excited as I never get to win anything... ...don't suppose the other winners have received anything have they? (pigleto, hotpotmama,LIZS). Is it usual for prizes to take SO long? I'm never going to get them am I?

Looks like my comment has got mixed up with Humphreycushion's - I posted "Can't believe I've won..I never win, made a dull old Monday much better".
I don't know how this stuff happens - I'm not the most techy person in the world!!
Looking forward to getting the Little Princess package prize - any idea when it will arrive? I's so excited as I never win
anything!!! I did send my address by e-mail but as it went from work I want to make sure it got to you.
thanks again - Squeezypumpkin

Hi Threadworm, our sponsor sends thier apologies and it's shame they were just a bit late saying you could keep the prize in end!!
Thanks GentleOtter. I've sent the package back now, so I hope they will send you something soon.
I felt really mean getting it: a gentle otter is far too lovely to steal stuff from -- and a gentlegarotter is far too dangerous.

MNHQ: I got a lovely package today from Hawkins Bazaar, the prize for my 2nd place in the Halloween comp. For which, many thanks,
BUt instead of the DVDs they have sent me the goodies mentioned as being part of the 1st prize.
So, I'm worried that they might have sent them to me in error and that GentleOtter might therefore not get her rightful package of goodies.
Has GentleOtter received hers? Should I try to send back my package -- and would I still get the 2nd prize DVDs???

Hi MaeBee, thanks for the info.
I saw further down the thread that you'd already been contacted - maybe our reputation proceeds us, which is why we haven't!
It would be great if you could CAT me with the contact details, assuming Alexia is OK with that.
We don't want to go until April, but it would be good to know that it's all booked.
Good tip re train tickets too - we usually use thetrainline, which offer similarly good deals.
Thank you.

humphreycushion - we won the zoo trip too and a woman called Lesley contacted us. i'm just telling you this so you can be ready! she said to give her the dates we wanted to book it for and they do all the booking with the hotel and making sure those dates are free etc.she gave me her number to call back (am i allowed to email it to you?! or is that not allowed, ALexia?!) anyway, we are not going til March now so i haven't yet called her back.
i really hope they get in touch soon its soooo gutting having to wait! especially when you want cheap tickets.
other top tip: if you need to get train to london check www.nationalexpresseastcoast.com if you live up north.igenerally get tickets from leeds to london for about £10 each way if you book in advance. its much better than national rail enquiries for getting good fares to show up.

Thanks Alexia. I'm wondering about sizing though. I guess it won't matter too much as I won't be keeping the clothes for myself, but I do intend to donate them to a very special cause, so am guessing a medium size would be fine for most (no good if it were myself, but am hoping recipients won't be carrying such a wide load as I do ).

Yes, actually, I think I'll have this one please.....
(MN Towers - can't you tell them they're being a bunch of meanies and your <ahem> loyal users expected a rather better effort from such a big company??)

Blimey - that sounds like the definition of 'luxury hamper' has been rather stretched!
How crappos - I was looking forward to something we could enjoy over Christmas - y'know, something more like this
(Kenco folk take note...)
Let's hope the Costa Rica trip hasn't been equally over-stated - perhaps they'll be staying in a youth hostel and visiting a Starbucks for their 'coffee experience' ....

Me too Legacy!
I am actually really rather disappointed. I was thrilled to have been one of the winners - I have never won anything before!
When I got the email from MNHQ, it said i had won a "luxury coffee hamper PLUS six months supply of coffee".
By the sounds of it, we just get a load of instant coffee
I don't mean to sound greedy or indeed ungrateful, but to me, a luxury hamper is more than some coffee, especially when it said PLUS six months supply of coffee.

Hi Rosie17 i've emailed Ladybird prints re: your missing prize.
I hope they will be in touch soon via email, do let me know if you've not recieved a response in a week!

Is that all CallMe? (re the hamper...) Sounds a bit pathetic - I had assumed it would be a Christmas-type hamper with biscuits & marmalade etc ...
Hi Alexia still haven't heard from Ladybird re my print prize - would be great to have it for xmas. Could you look into this please. Many thanks
Hi
Got my Kenco Hamper, thanks
For those who want to know. The prize was:
A hamper, lots of staw that DD wanted to eat (she thought it was spaghetti!) and 12 jars of instant. (4 of which were de-caf [yuck])
I must admit I had a grander Hamper in mind but there you go! The toddler group won't need to buy coffee for ages and the hamper will be re-used for Christmas.

Hi Aero
I would have thought the Crave maternity clothes would have arrived by now. I think they were sent out around the 14th Oct.
I've contacted our sponsor again to see what's happened.

Thank you Alexia re Highland Spring chase up
I haven't heard anything at all from the 'Crave' company since winning the maternity clothes (good job i'm not pregnant!!).
I have a plan in mind though to be able to put them to extremely good use and it needs to be in plenty of time for Christmas, or it will be too late.
Could someone chase this up for me please?

TheWickerCam: no not had mine either but did get the same phonecall from lovely lady.
I'm sure she told me that she wanted to get everyones details to purchase things in one go. I may be wrong it was a while ago.
Also pretty sure she said that she thought someone would be in contact over the racquet size.

I do wonder whether there should be a rule that people can't win more than a certain number of competitions within a certain time frame? Not necessarily because I want to win (I rarely enter the competitions) but it does seem a little unfair that it's always the same people that win..?

I have a friend with a 3yo DD, if she doesn't want it, then I think it will be destined for St George for this year's Christmas appeal

Rosco - you're right, it has been a bit of a struggle of late - a few of the hosts have gone off on holiday without sorting out the prizes before hand, so delegation has been a factor. It really isn't an excuse though and I shall keep chasing outstanding prizes.
FrazzledFairyFay - if you haven't done so already please do email me your contact details at catherine@mumsnet.com
Tigermoth - glad you're all sorted, thanks for letting me know
Bundle - this person is one of those who've been away, I've spoken to someone else who has assured me it'll be sent out this week.

When we win something (Brothermax goodies), do we need to send in our details or anything, or should they just arrive?
Just letting you know that everything is now fine with dettol house cleaning prize. Dettol have been in contact, emails have been exchanged, I have my dettol freebies and we have dates set for the house clean
still nothing from the itng comp.
Hello again, there does seem to be problems with lots of people not getting prizes, are we just being too hasty and they do take months to arrive or are prize givers being dreadfully slow?
Thankyou MN
