LOL at MUMSNET JURY! (Can i be on the panel....?)

Hulababy · 10/02/2006 21:54

Think it is because some MN members only use other parts of the website, and not talk. And some just lurk onthe talk threads, but still visit often. Obviously some win because they use competition thread things, which is annoying to think about.

Have to admit that even though the reasons are there, still hate it when someone wins who isn't a poster!

Gingerbear · 10/02/2006 21:54

bet they use one of those competition listing sites to find mumsnet, and join just to enter the comp.
Narks me too.

LadyTophamHatt · 11/02/2006 08:11

for this very reason I stopped entering the comps.

(the phrase "cutting my nose off to spite my face" springd to mind here though)
