: Win a Sony camcorder OR a Dyson for filling in our quicky survey on homework (Can we say fairer than that Guv?)
(49 messages)
If I am the promised prize winner (wink, wink) I will fill in twice more, as I have 3 kids. Give me the nod and away we go.

Sorry - the closing date should have been changed - comp now running till we get our 1000 responses, so sooner everyone fills it in, sooner you'll get your Dysons
The terms and conditions state (onteh Dyson page) that teh closing date is 12:00am on Weds....which means the comp should be officially closed. Winners to be notified today....so could you please send me my Dyson when you have a mo .
I have tried the link eight times now and it won't work for me.

Ok so we are on the home straight on this one but just need a few more folks to add their thoughts before we hit the magic 1000 respondents.
So please - anyone who hasn't filled this in, or has only done it for one of your children - add your thoughts now - we promise it will only take 2 minutes of your time and you could win one of 4 Dysons or a Sony camcorder ....as well as our eternal gratitude
Not fair! My DS is too young for school but I have very strong opinions about homework at this age. If I invented a hypothetical child would I be disqualified???
Done. Can I have the camcorder, Dyson and a Mumsnet bag please?

Custardo: if you think you can't enter because your kids are too old, think again!
We've now enlarged the scope of the survey to include parents of children over 11 and under 4. (Ignore the intro blurb at the top of the survey; that'll be changed in a sec).
Because we'd like to hear everyone's views. And we need MORE of them pronto [smile}
The pedants among us, even if they do what their teachers instructed, and read all the questions before answering, may omit certain questions. Numbers 5 and 7 both ask "If yes..." regarding the previous question. So, if you've answered "No" to numbers 4 or 6 you shouldn't aswer. But the questions then go on to give a 'Never' option. Tut tut.
Ok so stung by a small but vocal contingent of anti-Dyson Mnetters we've enhanced our offering for the Homework Survey prize draw. We have procured a Sony Camcorder option, if by any chance our lucky winner would prefer it to a Dyson.
We've also enlarged the survey to include the thoughts of Mnetters of kids not quite in the primary school age range.
So please please fill it in. Fill it in for each of your children (and be entered multiple times). Ask your friends to fill it in, hell ask your enemies...
