did they namechange to enter the comp?

i dont recognise the names!

wish it was me though i nver win anything [feeling sorry for myself]

Gobbledigook - I know what you mean about it being a bit weird

The thing I don't understand is why the winners would agree to being identified by their real nicknames either?

Surely once the media activity starts it would be very easy for anyone to look at the threads on here and match them up with the people in the articles/ web etc??
Presumably it's going to say, "X from Leeds is 37, and mum of three kids etc etc"

After all the Cod stuff I think I'd be a little more cautious??

Congratulations.

It put me off when I read the seats are in economy.

Congratulations!

omg IT'S JUST too freaky! I can't believe anyone would want to go!

lol, me too. I mean, I like a nice latte now and again, but really I'm a tea freak! {please take note MNHQ, in case you need someone to visit tea plantations in India....

well done!

I can confess to not actually drinking coffee now

Hope you all have a fab time

well done, enjoy.

congrats

so who won the coffee?

OK... and the winners really are

<<drum roll with cymbals >>

lulalullabye, NoblesseOblige and thatsnotmymonster

Congratulations to the lucky three and commiserations to those who were hoping to be leaving on that jet plane...we know exactly how you feel .

Hope you have a fab time you lucky ones - in the words of Cilla, all we ask is that you come back and tell us all about it...enjoy!

So fess up - how many of us put they wanted to ''wake up and smell the coffee''

yes - it would have been inspiring.
Actually I did write a couple of paltry sentences but they were predictable twaddle so shouldn't really count.

Cotcs - you'd have thought that they'd at least have had the decency to ring you to find out what you would have written, had you remembered to write something. Very poor show!

I wrote sod all and wasn't interviewed! Duh!

Just out of interest...what did the interviwees write in their 50 words??? Thought I had it in the bag!

Me

So how many have admitted to being inteviewed so far? 3? Come on there must be more...

I'm not saying much either. They flew me from Scotland so it was pretty cool. I met the PR girls for coffee and a nice chat. They said they had met quite a few mums and we would find out by the end of the week.

I'm on edge now...just waiting!

What was it like? What did they ask you?
Did you ask what's with the reality TV link too - will you be filmed all the time if you go????

<<nosey icon>>

I've had an interview

Has anyone admitted to having had an interview yet?? Bundle??

well, they haven't asked me, but then I didn't enter the competition

I was wondering that too FMF as my phone has just rung

I think I may have written down my phone number incorrectly

I said I'd consider it if they told me who else was going before I said yes.

i think my phone may be broken

well they asked me who else i would like to come.

I had to say no to them as I've promised DD I won't leave her (her Daddy's been away on business a lot lately).

They cried.

Yes - I spoke to them last week, but think something must have put them off, as they didn't really ask me much really

<sob>

(not my usual name btw....)

contacted me aswell, said mine was the best up to this morning.

How many people did they contact then?
<<Bar stewards>>

I'm no longer available on the last weekend so I had to say that if I got through I couldn't go, sob. they did say that they would be keeping the details of mumsnetters for future things though.

I spoke to them again this morning, I think they're a bit lukewarm about me as I'm a journalist...

lol lol lol

It's me.
I've won.
Got m'passport ready, had m'jabs and got in-flight ridicu-socks at the ready.

Bring on the caffeine.

Me too, on Thurs.

i had a cryptic phonecall from them today about my 50 word sign off, anyone else?

knobheads

<snort>

... going to be announced later in the week...






tee hee................

I think there might be a clue in this thread though
