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!

Did the OP always say 'on the entry form only', or has that been an addition in the last few days?

SoupDragon · 30/04/2015 20:25

That leapt out at me too. I thought it might be new.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 30/04/2015 20:53

I'm not sure it was there when I first read it last friday. I only went back just now to check when the closing date was, which was when I noticed it.

MummyBtothree · 01/05/2015 08:57

"On the entry form only" has been added later..that wasn't there before Grin

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 01/05/2015 09:06

I do like the sense of optimism involved in adding that, given that the evidence on the thread is that most of the people on it haven't read any of the OP. Grin

I cannot unscramble this and I can't sleep. I just went to specsavers as well. Maybe I need a new eye test.

Today's the day of the big draw.

chairmeoh · 05/05/2015 17:54

You'd think MN would've told us the answer rather than just closing the comp?
We're ally desperate to know. -oo-
