To think WTAF is with this prize? (baby competition advertised on MN) Bizarre hamper.

Now, I am not ungrateful, just a little confused.

Competition advertised on MN to win baby wipes goodies. It was a picture comp and we won, we were told we were being sent a hamper.

I kind of expected it to be all wipes and baby stuff... There are some bits that are just weird:

4 packets of cigarette papers (2 are the kind to roll joints with!)
4 Lighters
108 condoms! Hmm
2 x super glue
14 sanitary pads
60 pantliners
13 batteries
6 lip balms
1 blu tack
2 pritt sticks
1 bottle of mouthwash
6 tooth brushes
120 plasters

And out of all of this 2 packets of wipes...

Am I a bit weird to think that joint papers shouldn't be part of a prize for a baby competition? Confused

This is brilliant Grin especially like the idea that tushies read MN on a Friday night and adjusted the prize accordingly!

SchrodingersMew · 17/10/2012 12:20

Sl1nky That's it. I refuse to believe Hazel even after a quick google I know it's true because that is a much funnier reason! :o

I know, I am so sorry to ruin the fun! Can I absolve myself by telling you that anothe of their wipes brands is called Hunnies?

Shro, PLEASE tell me you got some Hunnies?

Mrsjay · 17/10/2012 12:24

Blu tak and pritt stick to stick bottle to baby in the car seat while I have a joint with the papers and shag all day with the condoms

\see now you are getting into it Mumsnet 101 of babycare Grin

SchrodingersMew · 17/10/2012 12:25

HazeltheMcWitch · 17/10/2012 12:26

I have do idea WTAF? My typing appears to have a cold.

SchrodingersMew · 17/10/2012 12:26

Are they good?* Don't know where my question mark went there! My brain has went to shit today I have hardly slept and have a bug.

I turned up to physio this morning half awake with my cardi on inside out...

DowagersHump · 17/10/2012 12:35

That is completely brilliant :o

They left out the razors though of all their multibrands - I wonder why? [overthinking]

SchrodingersMew · 17/10/2012 12:36

I don't know. Confused The other girl got the razors. :( The one thing I would have used!

Crying with laughter!

Some of that stuff will still be kicking around your house in 15 years time, and you STILL won't know what to do with it!

SchrodingersMew · 17/10/2012 12:42

I know Rubber. It's 2 bloody big boxes as well, where to put it? Confused

Ooooh, Mumsnet Xmas Appeal is on....

SchrodingersMew · 17/10/2012 12:44

60 panty liners had me Confused what would you do with all those liners but only 14 sanitary towels ,

SchrodingersMew · 17/10/2012 13:04

Fuck knows. Confused

OP posts:
Mrsjay · 17/10/2012 13:06

maybe you could devise a nappy or 2 from the liners use the pritt stick Wink

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 17/10/2012 13:08

Razors are pretty pricey are they not?

SchrodingersMew · 17/10/2012 13:10

Yeah they are but the other girl got them!

Mrs Good idea! Maybe I could make play doh from the blu tak.

SchrodingersMew · 17/10/2012 13:11

And about the condoms...

I remember when I was really small I found one of my Dads and he must have panicked and he told me it was a balloon.. I sat for ages putting it over my tongue and blowing it up, I was about 3 haha. I only realised about 4 years when I remembered it!

Hello and ROFL at this.

But it really doesn't sounds like an MN comp we recognise

Was it on our comps page, SchrodingersMew? Or was it an ad you saw elsewhere on the site?

SchrodingersMew · 17/10/2012 13:26

Hello Helen. :)

I seen it in the rectangle ad box at the top the other week. Tushies baby wipes. :o

Gutted to know MNHQ weren't in on it! :( MN Friday emergency kit!

OP posts:
SomethingSuitablyWitty · 17/10/2012 13:31

Haha. That's the best most random hamper I ever heard of. And surely, the "hamper" presentation is the cherry on the cake really. Well, good luck getting through it.

Aha! And how odd.

Maybe Tushies understand MNers a little bit too well....
