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

I've been crying reading this Grin had to read most of it out to my OH who was laughing too.

Most of that is not exactly appropriate stuff to stick into a hamper for a baby competition unless you've done a survey and found out what the winner would use.

If it makes you feel any better, you only need to have sex every 10 days to make sure it gets used up in time!

Every 10 days doesn't sound too bad.

Seriously, I opened the box in front of my DGM, you should have seen her face! All these condoms and joint papers, I must have looked like I was going to have a right party!

Do you know anyone who plays a clarinet or oboe ?

Cigarette papers are used for cleaning pads.

Arf, I am laughing outside school!!

Quote Really? I didn't know that! Unfortunately I don't but my Uncle smokes roll ups so I'm sure he will be happy to get them, there's certainly enough to last a while.

Kate :o I got an email from MN saying it gave them a google as well and

"It's under hand now "

Case of TSSDNDP? Very curious now! :o

108 condoms.

Wow. A years worth of safe shags. Now, that is some price!

Did they send a man with it? Like Tom Hardy or Daniel Craig?

SlightlySuperiorPeasant · 18/10/2012 18:21

I was all ready to say YABU and ungrateful but ConfusedShock

How many condoms?!

SchrodingersMew · 18/10/2012 18:35

NotQuint A year? Are you kidding me? More like 3 years! If they sent Daniel Craig I would not be complaining... :o

Peasant See, I thought I was being a bit ungrateful but it is just so random and bizzare. I think they think I have manky teeth and too many kids! (I only have 1 child and my dentist says I have perfect teeth). :)

And yes 108. I have a Nuvaring, tempted to use them anyway for the sake of it. Mentioned to DP earlier and his reply was "we don't have nearly enough red bull for that". :o

There is going to be a thread here later about a horse scented fat bird pissing her pants in a chip shop! I just know it! Blush
