It's been asked if we can post winners' details on the site and there are a lot of winners announced today, so without further ado: -
Hearty congratulations to Blueberrypancake - you've won a Kanzi Home chandelier

Fabulous felicitations to MrsWeasley and FilthyMindedVixen - you've won a place for your child on the Hamley's Board of Children

Thanks also to all of you who completed our surveys this summer and in particular, well done to lummox and sammac who've both won Kombi Karts for filling in the marketing survey.

And last but not least, congratultions also go to snowcat who's won some fab Neal's Yard goodies for completing the Soil Association survey.

If you're not one of this week's lucky winners, don't be disheartened, there are some brilliant competitions coming up, and we'll even widen the entry criteria too.

Thanks
MNHQ

If they're vouchers, etc or small things, can you have delivered to the office so they're ready to send before the competition starts?

Or can you post more and more derogatory things about the company sponsoring the prize if the weeks go by and they fail to deliver?

Do get a Rottweiler though. If nothing else, you can threaten trolls with it!

Just sending a big thank you for the Dettol house clean prize. The clean took place just before Christmas and in a magical day, two cleaners cleaned my house from top to bottom (a feat I have never managed in that time scale!).

A rep from the cleaning company had visited a few weeks earlier and we went through each room, discussing what would need to be done. I then moved away clutter as agreed and the cleaners did the rest.

What really added to their efforts was the carpet clean. We have carpets in every room, including the bathroom, so it was wonderful to have them restored to something approaching their original state.

It was a fab prize and helped to make our Christmas extra special and I am still basking in the glory of a cleaner house. Having to declutter for the cleaners did us a world of good.

I hope Dettol offer this prize again in a future Mumsnet competition - it really was life enhancing. There was some confusion over the extent of the carpet cleaning, but hopefully this will be sorted next time round.

Thank you mumsnet!!!

Hello tigermoth - god that sounds like an amazing prize!

I'm glad you are pleased with the results, and i'll pass on your kinds words to Dettol and let them know we'd be keen to run this competition again

Flamespar · 31/12/2008 15:32

PinkJenny - why did you enter a maternity comp?

Flamespar · 31/12/2008 15:35

Hunker - My prize came within a fortnight, with a little compliments slip saying congratulations

EustaciaVye if you don't get new dolls, I can't fix the singing, but I can send you one of the crowns from DD's - she will lose it soon enough anyway!

SoupDragon · 31/12/2008 15:36

I had a prize arrive fairly swiftly once but that was when JJ was in charge...

Flamespar · 31/12/2008 15:38

Aww poor Alexia!

Tinker · 31/12/2008 15:42

What a prize tigermoth!

tigermoth · 31/12/2008 18:21

Alexia, I really hope Dettol do give the prize again. Next time round though, it might help everyone if they specify a budget ie up to £500 worth of house cleaning, as the original competition did not state this and I think this caused some confusion with the Dettol PR company and the cleaning company.

We live in a 3 bed house, so pretty average I guess. However if we had lived in a 10 bed mansion, the top to bottom house clean would have cost Dettol quite a lot more!

Flamespar · 31/12/2008 18:52

I would have loved that prize

ScummyMummy · 01/01/2009 13:16

Wow @ your prize, t'moth.

AlexiaMumsnet · 02/01/2009 11:56

I think some sponsors are much quicker at posting out prizes than others

AlexiaMumsnet · 02/01/2009 12:23

Btw we have a new Winners corner thread 2009, i'll be announcing winners here form now on

missorinoco · 04/01/2009 19:25

1legmummy · 04/01/2009 22:04

Hi I was one of the winners in the build a bear comp. I have not received anything yet - I wondered if you could chase it for me as I just read one of the winners got theirs on 29th Dec.

Thought I was waiting patiently, but have two Sons and two Neices who are desperate to go get their "christmas presents"

Thank you xx

AlexiaMumsnet · 05/01/2009 10:39

Hi EustaciaVye

LIZS · 05/01/2009 10:41
