So... it's our tenth birthday and we're having a party to celebrate on March 2nd. And seeing as we can't possibly fit you all in, we thought it would be nice to have a competition to have 10 Mumsnetters (plus partners) come along. As part of the prize we'll put you up in a London hotel, dress you in Boden (natch) and send you out to dinner at Pizza Express too. Full details here.

All you've got to do is to write a haiku (and we know how good you are at those) which sums up Mumsnet. And the 10 best will win. Simples.

And lest you think we might not pick the right winners, we've got Carol-Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate, to judge them for us. So for all those of you who enjoy writing in verse, here's your chance to shine.

Good luck.

Mumsnet is ten soon
March 2nd is the big day
So please make note

Its the online spot
where mums, dads, and all meet
Chat, argue, no hugs

Of opinions

Actually that is all fairly rubbish. I might have to go away and have another go. Never done a Haiku before, it shows, doesnt it?!

Judged by Poet Laureate - not much pressure then!
