Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

so if you've won once... do you get 'disqualified' from winning again?

I won once, was very very happy, but was allocated the girlie prize of lots of barbies and only have son's. I love entering, it is buying a lottery ticket, there is nothing wrong with hoping - even if I am more likely to be hit by a bus smile

I only won a competition once but still haven't had the prize (supplier's fault obviously not MN) - though did wonder at the time if that stopped me from winning a Joggler to review the following week when I obviously deserved one SO much ...

Can i ask a newbie q... are you only allowed to discuss MN comps in the Talk section as most of the threads I've read in this section only seem to refer to MN sponsored/promoted competitions?

I have won more than one prize - 3 or 4 from what I remember. However not wn any MN prize for ages now well over a year for sure.

I hate to sound like I am showing off, but I have won 3 times on MN (please don't blacklist me, I am still in need of a Wii or a holiday). This is just good luck and the fact I have used the site for several years now. I must win about once a year.

In the deepest darkest past when mn was very small and very quiet I used to win loads of competitions! I haven't won for ages and ages now. (Though to be fair I don't always enter.)

But I've done loads of book reviews this weekend - I want to win the set of books for our school library grin

This one is mine!

No we don't have a blacklist at Mumsnet

We do try to be fair, so if we were drawing someone every week say, we would perhaps re-draw...

Guess you're just unlucky
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Sun 11-Jan-09 14:43:48
because ages ago i won a prize and replied to MN that i didn't want it because my children were too young for it (that's before i realised they do eventually grow up... doh!).

but i wonder if, as a result, i am on some kind of blacklist or something [conspiracy theory emoticon]??

or maybe i am just unlucky...

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
