I want to complain in the strongest possible terms

This advert was promoted to me today. I'm feeling suitably organised for Christmas but Easter can fuck off.

lol! I posted about the same thing and have had a very mixed response.

Those adverts are insane.

Omg wtf. I’ve also just seen Easter chocolate on sale in my local WHSmith.

My message was very tongue in cheek and I hope it didn’t come across as rude. I definitely didn’t intend to tell the mumsnet team to fuck off just before Christmas Blush

Don't worry, @WelshNerd - we didn't take it that way at all! It was Easter you wanted to fuck off, not us, we assumed Xmas Smile

I agree but it’s far less obnoxious than the bump and ‘your newborn’ ads on the miscarriage boards! And yes, we have complained.

That is very poor, I am so sorry. I would have found that extremely upsetting.

Hi @Wednesdaysotherchild - we're so sorry to hear this. Are you still seeing these misplaced adverts? And if so, are you able to provide a screenshot please? We'll look into this as soon as possible.

majority of people want to be part of a capitalist system and ill admit it is too soon for easter, practically the first couple of days after xmas and tescos was already selling easter eggs (admitted i did buy one)
