Survey with chance to win a week in Costa Rica or a hamper and six months supply of coffee

Hi all

Well the latest survey prize is a bit different - but you can't say we don't offer variety

Kenco are giving three mumsnetters the chance to win a trip to Costa Rica staying for a week in luxury Eco-lodges. The new coffees they are launching (Rich Roast, Smooth Roast and Decaffeinated) are now made with beans sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified? farms and the winners will visit these coffee growing communities and learn more about how the programme benefits people and the environment. They'd also be asked to report back on the experience.

It's strictly for mums only (ie no partners or children allowed ) and there's a set week for travel - w/c Nov 9th - but they are offering financial help with childcare and you would be travelling with two other mumsnetters.

If this doesn't appeal there are also 10 luxury coffee hampers and six months supply of Kenco coffee so do please still fill in the survey.

For a chance to win the trip or the coffee hamper you have to be a UK mum, over 21 and a coffee drinker.

here's the survey

Good luck

Hurrah done

'financial help with childcare'- splutter- I;d love to see them find something for ds1.

jimjamshaslefttheyurt · 09/09/2008 23:41

I've gone for the coffee. Much as I;d love to go I think a trip to Costa Rica would be a bit unrealistic at the moment. I won a mumsnet cottage stay in Cornwall once and that was hard enough to organise - and we only live in Devon. (Very nice it was too - - Bosinver Farm)

I have amended the settings so you should be able to go back in and edit responses should you want to, but still only one entry per household.

Cheers

'They do want winners to be sort of ambassadors for what they are doing '

Can I be an ambassador for dumping kids on dp at short notice and swanning off to south America for a week then????

Flibbertyjibbet · 10/09/2008 00:26

OK i've done the survey but only put myself into the draw for hamper and coffee.
I'd love a holiday but DP deserves one too and we haven't had a family holiday this year. All those questions about gap years put me off a bit, not sure why!
I thought it was a bit odd in the 'what green things do you do' that an option was 'avoid long haul flights'....when the prize is a long haul flight...

Can't wait to see which 3 mumsnetters are going to be sat together in cattle class on a plane for hours on end then thrown together in a straw hut for a week!!

Who is going to be the first to suggest suitably unsuited trios????
