i have been reassures by the adding of topics for teenagers and knowing that quite a few mumsnetters have older children.

i know that this subject has come up before and i know you have said you will address it.

i know that you probably are limited in some way through some product advertising thingymajig and can only get comp prizes from certain places or from certain non stingy advertisers.

i appreciate you efforts. and thank you

however. i came to enter this weeks competition. becuase i have a lovely god daughter called mini rhubarb and well... mrs rhubarb would be soo very impressed if loads of dollies and girly stuff turned up for her daughter ha ha haa haa ha haa ( thats an inside joke but you get it) never the less i want to get it so i look fab around xmas time without spending any money.

imagine my dismay shock horror and general ending of my known universe when i discover i can only put in a book review up to 10 years old.

i cant remember seeing prizes for older kids - you can and prolly will prove me wrong. i did see a change in ogffering spa days and ready meals in a basket. etc.

but would like to point out that just becuase the prize your offering may have a maximum playing age of say 10. that does not necessarily equate with the kids we have. see what i mean?

i chose that topic in particular becuase 80% of the other topics simply dont apply to me - its hard enough entering the blinking comp in the first place as i havent pushed a buggy changed a nappy used any breastfeeding bottle feeding quipment, used a car seat etc - all the first two topics of "for baby" " for new parents" are out and some of the others simply dont apply.

now i was quite happly using the few topics to enter - but today am a bit premenstrual and this got on my bresticles - the thing about the age of the books - hence melodramatic rampage

ta very much. i

oh and another thing

you dont have to necessarily play with your child to know they enjoy a toy do you - so why do you have to read with your child to know they love certain books?

thank you for listening

If I reviewed favourite toys it would be the free ones from McDees, dd2 particularly likes the dogs at the moment.

Would that be under Food or Toys?

And I am still winning those dolls.
