Here at MNHQ, it's essential for us to build a profile of the folks who use Mumsnet, to help us attract the most appropriate advertisers and sponsors as well as find out how folks feel about the site. So we would very much like everyone (this means ALL Mumsnetters! Newbies, oldies, in-betweeners, lurkers, regulars, overseas MNers, even men
) to complete our census. This is our third census survey - we've taken to running them every two years and would like as many of you as possible to complete it.
As a special thank you we have lined up some lovely prizes - everyone who takes part in the survey and who adds their details at the end will be entered into a prize draw where you could win one the following:
~ A three night break in one of the Luxury Family Hotels - worth £1500
~ A £500 voucher for Oliver Bonas
~ A £200 Pizza Express voucher
~ A £100 Disney Store voucher

~ A picnic hamper from Ambrosia and a month's supply of their Custard Coated Fruit Flakes (worth £100+)
~ A stay in a holiday cottage in North Devon from Farm & Cottage Holidays

Overseas Mumsnetters - many of the vouchers above can be used for delivery overseas, subject to delivery costs and we'd be more than happy - should you win - to send our book to you!
Please do take the time to fill in this short(ish!) survey and tell us all about you and how you use Mumsnet. Just so you know, there are about 40 [very interesting] questions.
All responses are confidential and no individual details will be passed on to any third parties.
The highlights of the census will be published on the site so you can see how you compare to everyone else.

I've done it, but as soon as I pressed the "finished" button, it directed me to a page saying "the service is unavailable", so I'm not sure if it has registered.....

Done-fingers crossed....!
I even made some sensible suggestions. Do I get a sticker at least? 
I was halfway through this when I came to the question asking me how I voted in the last election. I seriously wonder if this is even legal? The whole principle of the secret ballot is that it is precisely that.SECRET. We are lucky to live in a country where at the moment we are not generally persecuted for our voting choices.That may not always be the case. I am stunned that this question is being asked on a survey and I am appalled and am asking you at MNHQ to remove it.
hellymelly - this is a question which is asked (in various forms) by polling companies around the world. All data is totally confidential and you can skip (I think) pretty much any question or you can answer this one 'prefer not to answer'.
