Survey with chance to win a week in Costa Rica or a hamper and six months supply of coffee

Hi all

Well the latest survey prize is a bit different - but you can't say we don't offer variety

Kenco are giving three mumsnetters the chance to win a trip to Costa Rica staying for a week in luxury Eco-lodges. The new coffees they are launching (Rich Roast, Smooth Roast and Decaffeinated) are now made with beans sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified? farms and the winners will visit these coffee growing communities and learn more about how the programme benefits people and the environment. They'd also be asked to report back on the experience.

It's strictly for mums only (ie no partners or children allowed ) and there's a set week for travel - w/c Nov 9th - but they are offering financial help with childcare and you would be travelling with two other mumsnetters.

If this doesn't appeal there are also 10 luxury coffee hampers and six months supply of Kenco coffee so do please still fill in the survey.

For a chance to win the trip or the coffee hamper you have to be a UK mum, over 21 and a coffee drinker.

here's the survey

Good luck

I've done it but don't want the trip - I don't want to go away for a week with people I don't know and without dh and kids. What a logistical nightmare as well - sorting out childcare etc for a week.

I went to Costa Rica as a kid - wonderful, wonderful country.

Do occasional coffee drinkers count??

don't think I would want to go away with strangers either, but hamper would be nice as I've never won anything in my life, ever.

so have completed the survey but ticked no to the trip (] but yeeeeeeees to hamper .

When is the draw being made?

Do you think anyone can drop everything for a week in early November? God how I would love to go! Who cares if we don't all get on, I'd lie somewhere in the heat and read a book without being pestered about poopoo....

I'm on for it, currently couldn't think of a better way to clear my head, lots of coffee in beautiful surrounding, whilst learning about culture etc.

Do you have to be a mum? Or can you be a mumsnetter who doesn't have kids yet? I'm totally in.

Done. I've gone for the trip! It wouldn't let me enter my email address though with that option.

i didn't read the small print - so let me understand 3 mumnsetters who dont know each other to costa rica without their families.

do we have to work on eco friendly projects and help unfortunate communitites?

I went to Morocco with one bloke I barely knew and a bunch of around 15 people I had never met before - it was brilliant, by far the best trip I've ever been on. It wouldn't faze me tbh, going with two MNers I hadn't met. The only problem I might have would be getting time off work.

I love meeting new people and can get on with almost anybody. I told dh I'd enter for the hamper and he said I was barmy for not trying for th costa rica trip. So looks like I'm in...

But I filled in the survey before talking to Dh and ticked the hamper box. Now it won't let me try again to change my mind. Help?!
