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!

If I only had a brain....

(Or some sunglasses.)

RatOnnaStick · 25/04/2015 18:23

Did someone say Sunglasses?

sanfairyanne · 25/04/2015 18:37

are all competition pages like this??

SoupDragon · 25/04/2015 19:09

I don't know and I'm not sure I want to check...

RatOnnaStick · 25/04/2015 19:29

What I don't get is why would you go to the lengths of trawling sites for competitions, presumably enter them wrongly and then run off and tell everybody to do the same? Surely the less entries, the more chance of winning? or are they all the same person trying it on with different logins

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 25/04/2015 20:03

I think all the other tbreads in this topic are share your experiences type ones. I can't see another one that needs you to answer a qustion or set of questions. I'm sure it hasn't been this bad before.

Maybe instead of the zombie thread alert there could be a message that pops up if you're about to post something that outs you as an utter muppet?

SoupDragon · 25/04/2015 20:41

Such a pop up would be working overtime on MN at times...

MummyBtothree · 25/04/2015 20:41

I googled it and a past mumsnet comp was on a freebie/comp website that people can post to to inform other people about current competitions, product tests, freebies etc & others were leaving comments saying 'thank you'. Basically somebody has discovered mumsnet is good for regular competitions & product tests & informed god knows how many freeloaders, probably by posting a link straight to this page. A bit like a big neon arrow pointing this way & through a tannoy anouncing 'roll up roll up, come and swipe the prizes from under the noses of genuine mumsnet members'

DontOpenDeadInside · 25/04/2015 20:48

I'd love to know how many proper entries there are...

MummyBtothree · 25/04/2015 21:00

Alot of the effwits who have posted bloody 'sunglasses' on here have never posted ANYTHING previously on mumsnet before therefore have joined up purely to enable them to enter this comp. I searched quite a few names with no previous posts....

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 25/04/2015 21:14

If it helps, I haven't entered, Don'tOpen.

The good news is most of these muppets haven't either. They just think they have. Would love to know how many have clicked on the link but entered sunglasses as the answer.

MummyBtothree · 25/04/2015 21:32

Hahaha yeah....divs Grin

acatcalledjohn · 25/04/2015 21:46

I just opened to see what the hype was and was met by a LOT of sunglasses fuckwittery.

Absolutely brilliant Grin

MummyBtothree · 25/04/2015 22:13
