NOW CLOSED Win a trip to Cadbury World and other choccy treats: can you find the hidden word in our Talk Topic Easter Egg (n Spoon) Hunt?

To celebrate the launch of Cadbury's new kids' Easter treat, Egg n Spoon, we have a fun filled Easter Egg (n Spoon) Hunt for you to take part in...

We've hidden seven eggs around the site for you to find and the clues are posted below to help you find them.

Each egg is hidden on a specific (and different) MN Talk board (if you're not familiar with them all - and there are LOTS of them - you may want to click on the Topics A-Z link here). And the first letter of the name of that board is the letter you're after. So, if the clue leads you to the Weaning Talkboard, the letter you need is W.

Collect all 7 letters, unscramble them and you'll end up with a word. All you then have to do is submit the word on the competition form here to be in with a chance of winning a family trip to Cadbury World or one of twenty Cadbury Easter treats.

Oh, and you're welcome to help each other out with the clues but, if you guess the final word, please don't post it here. That would spoil the fun, eh?

Here are the clues:

Day 1: Hmmmm, Betty or Evie? How to choose...

Day 2: Where you chat about Tom's ready meals, and what Brine and Jenny Darling have been up to?

Day 3: The place to go when you have POAS and had a positive experience

Day 4: Slightly trickier one today: we're looking for the first letter of a likely acronym-only reply to any thread on our most famously straight-talking talk topic

Day 5: The place to find recommendations if your holiday plans are Old-Blighty-based

Day 6: Good tips for trips that'll have you back home by bedtime?

Day 7: Where to go for a cuppa, a biscuit and a _

Here's the link to the competition form again: www.mumsnet.com/microsites/cadburys-egg-n-spoon

Thanks and good luck,

MNHQ

NB Due to tech ishoos we've had to move the position of all the eggs on the talk pages. They are all still there, if you can't see them look lower Grin

I was wondering how you were going to do that letter (having guessed the word on the second dayGrin)

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 07/03/2013 12:46

Oh!!!! I see [stupid] ok, as you were HQ, my guess is back on track Grin

EdwiniasRevenge · 07/03/2013 12:55

Completely confused about the word.

Can't think of a 5 letter word beginning with those 4 letters Confused....or are we looking for an anagram of the letters we find

Off to find a dictionary...

EdwiniasRevenge · 07/03/2013 12:56

Re reads op.

Slaps self on forehead

Ignore me.

Feel free to delete my posts so I don't look like a fool confuse others. ..

Blatherskite · 07/03/2013 12:57

It'll be a 7 letter word Edwina

EduCated · 07/03/2013 13:16

Wait, if there's more than one word in the forum name, are we to include both initials?

Cheddars · 07/03/2013 13:43

No, just the first letter of the first word Educated.

I think I've guessed the word and if I'm right you should be ashamed of yourselves. Grin

SirBoobAlot · 07/03/2013 14:11

I can't work out day two... It must be the lack of chocolate in my life...

Tee2072 · 07/03/2013 16:32

I can't work out day 2 either, but I don't think I'm going to need it.

SquirtedPerfumeUpNoseInBoots · 07/03/2013 16:33

steppemum · 07/03/2013 17:03

Tee2072 · 07/03/2013 17:22

Pascha · 08/03/2013 12:49

I got that one, and the word now too.

Blatherskite · 08/03/2013 13:34

I've found them all, I just can't see what word it's supposed to make and am now convinced I've got them all wrong!

MTBMummy · 08/03/2013 14:49

I'm with Blather on this - I've got all the letters - but buggered if I know what the word is

EdwiniasRevenge · 08/03/2013 15:12
