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

meanie!!!

cocolepew · 09/09/2008 16:42

If I win I'll be psychomum5

psychomum5 · 09/09/2008 16:41

I can do the 'dim mother' bit.

can't do the beautiful tho, sadly.

Fennel · 09/09/2008 16:31

Yes, would we end up being pawns in a Kraft marketing ploy? It seems likely, if you read the terms and conditions. I've filled out the survey but am rather suspicious. do you think they want three rather beautiful but dim mothers to front their campaign?

filthymindedvixen · 09/09/2008 16:29

Please MNHQ, can I change my mind over the trip please?? I can go, dammit, DH says so! and I have 2 weeks' holiday left to take before xmas and...and...!

cocolepew · 09/09/2008 16:28

If I win the trip I'm going to say I'm somebody else, then if people don't like me they won't know who I am

psychomum5 · 09/09/2008 16:25

did any of you see tho, in the terms and conditions, needing to be ok with the media coverage should you be chosen and be ok with photo's etc????

not sure me being in any pics is a good thing.....

of course, all this will be null and void anyway......could you see my DH letting me go and leaving him with the psychobrood for a week???

psychomum5 · 09/09/2008 16:22

I've done it

and said yes to the trip

am sure I won't be chosen anyway (never am for this type of thing), but it would be such an amazing experience(sp?) to have, and may just show my daughters that going new places and doing new things are not as scary as they sometimes sound.

plus, I may find 'me' on that trip too.

altho, part of me wishes I had opted for the coffee.....

cocolepew · 09/09/2008 16:19

Done my 'why should you win' bit was very cheesey

Indith · 09/09/2008 16:19

I wanna go! But I don't drink coffee and will be pushing it rather for travel by then

Fennel · 09/09/2008 16:15

Coffee, Central America and a week without my family sounds pretty ideal to me.

whomovedmychocolate · 09/09/2008 16:05

Give me the coffee, I need caffeine to chase my little buggers rascals around

TheArmadillo · 09/09/2008 15:53

done

wannaBe · 09/09/2008 15:50

how are they going to know Fio. None of the questions on the survey have anything to do with coffee...

filthymindedvixen · 09/09/2008 15:47

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?!

TigerFeet · 09/09/2008 15:29

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 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?

LilRedWG · 09/09/2008 15:01

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

Done!

BlingLovin · 09/09/2008 14:58

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

MrsPurple · 09/09/2008 14:56

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.

orangina · 09/09/2008 14:54

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....

No coffee in, need large hamper of it!
