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!

You forgot to punctuate your post with sunglasses.
:)

Maybe we need a sunglasses emoticon, it could be the new biscuit.

Sunglasses

always makes me think of spies in trenchcoats - though given some of the threads we've had recently that is probably entirely appropriate.

BrianButterfield · 24/04/2015 12:32

Ha, definitely need a sunglasses emoticon!

Style?? Shock

That's reminded me of the best joke in the world, Browsers

Pumpkinette · 24/04/2015 14:24

So many people who can't read the instructions - they should have gone to specsavers (queue bad joke groans and eye rolls) Grin

-OO-

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 24/04/2015 20:41

Ooohhh I know the answer! Is it sunglasses?

BrianButterfield · 24/04/2015 22:15

Another genius.

BrianButterfield · 24/04/2015 22:15

Sorry: sunglasses.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 24/04/2015 22:20

I'm assuming the people still posting 'sunglasses' haven't read any of the OP at all and are now just reading the first few replies. Because it makes no sense at all otherwise.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 24/04/2015 23:29

So many pairs of sunglasses. So many numbers in usernames.

BrianButterfield · 24/04/2015 23:41

Number in username = inversely proportional to IQ.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 24/04/2015 23:43

That's an equation I've already learnt from AIBU.

I think the problem is that som pe genius posted the first question on a "competition junkie" website and no one has actually read this thread properly.

RatOnnaStick · 25/04/2015 07:11

This sort of competition does go some way to weed these people out who swoop in and never contribute to the forum I suppose. Its designed in a simple way to get people looking around the site for answers and hopefully spot some thing interesting to comment on.

You can get rid of them altogether but this thread has shown a few up in a funny way.

Sunglasses FTW!
