As you may know we have been working with Specsavers across the last few months - to promote eye tests and all things eye care related at their stores. We now have a special thread running across the week with some great prizes to be won..!

Answer the questions and solve the clues to unscramble a word and you'll be entered into a prize draw to win one of three great prizes: £500 of holiday vouchers, an iPad mini or a DAB radio!

Each day a new clue will be added and on Friday the link to how to enter will also be posted. You just need to collect the first letter of each clue and re arrange them to get a word which is the correct answer. No posting the answers on the thread please Grin. The word is 5 letters long and is a commonly used abbreviation.

Three of the clues lead you to a page on MN and as an extra clue there will be a hidden Specsavers image on those pages (see box for the image to look out for). Two of the clues are just quiz style questions to guess the correct answer.

Clue 1 - Monday
What are good to wear on your face to protect your eye's when the sun's out?
Hint - they are dark and make you look cool!

Clue 2 - Tuesday
What do Specsavers focus (gettit) on and offer examinations of?
Hint - balls!

Clue 3 - Wednesday
What is the proper name for age related long sight?
Hint: look here

Clue 4 - Thursday
Where would you start a thread about a health issue concerning your children?
Hint: the clue's in the question!

Clue 5 - Friday
Want some advice from MNers on what frames to get - where would you head to discuss this on Mumsnet?
Hint - it's fashion darlink!

Enter the competition (here) and you will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £500 Thomas Cook holiday voucher, one MNer will win an iPad mini (worth £239) and one will win a Pure Evoke DAB Radio (worth c£150)

Standard Insight T&Cs apply. Closing date for entries on the entry form only Tuesday 5th May 9.00am

Good luck!

And RatOnastick is right about posters who never post anywhere else. No wonder I never bloody win anything.

And still the Illiterati post... :o

SoupDragon · 22/04/2015 17:39

No one has answered clues 2 and 3 yet though. I bet they're feeling left out Sad

iwantavuvezela · 22/04/2015 17:45

Haha this thread has made me laugh. An unexpected pleasure.

RatOnnaStick · 22/04/2015 18:24

I read that as Illuminati at first which give a much creepier meaning to the sentence Grin

SoupDragon · 22/04/2015 18:27

They are very similar, only one group is unable to read.

AnnMumsnet must feel as if she is wearing a cloak of invisibility and no one can see her not cryptic at all posts.

SoupDragon · 22/04/2015 18:29

Did somebody say something?

SoupDragon · 22/04/2015 21:49

I thought I heard something and felt a slight draught. Maybe someone left a window open?

RoosterCogburnIsInTheJakes · 22/04/2015 21:52

Hang on I'll put on my sun glasses and see if i can see anyone

RatOnnaStick · 22/04/2015 23:08

Did no one else ever get told at school "read to the end of the test before starting"??

90% of posters here have come from some competition skimming site haven't they....
