Get your hands on a shiny new iPad 2! Just think, you'll be able to Mumsnet with ease from bed.....

To be in with a chance of winning, hop over to Facebook (only briefly, we promise) and enter our competition.

After that, come back to Mumsnet Wink

We have regular competitions on our Facebook page, and in the past have given away holidays, wine and even gin, so keep an eye on our page for exciting new giveaways!

They want too much. Access to my friends list and mn nickname? I'm too chicken! (Although I do actually need an ipad)

I cancelled at that point. I don't belong to facebook and I don't think DH would be very impressed if I let them into his account.

I did it. Not sure about access to fb but my DS has sn and an ipad would make such a difference to him - so took the chance!

I think I've done it too. Bloody Facebook is taking over the world - it seems we'll have to have a FB account to go to the loo soonWink

Done, The "post to FB" page crashed so I have no idea if it posted or not.
By the way, on the OP, the link is misspelt "competiton".

Would love to enter but as PP said, that's too much info to be giving out.

Entered but don't like how you're encouraged to spam your friends into entering to give you a better chance of winning.

Is this discrimination against those of us who don't use FB ? Angry.

FGS, Just cancel the box, it's merely asking if you want to share it with your FB friends, you simply tell it now and click cancel on the FB box, you will still be entered into the comp!

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback, please do keep it coming!

We think that the iPad is a fab prize not at all bitter that we can't win it Envy and we wanted to make sure you all heard about it and our Facebook page which can keep you up to date with what is going on at HQ, webchats, campaigns etc blah blah funny etc

We know folks are concerned about privacy, as are we, it is something we take very seriously. Can we please reassure you all that we will NEVER link your RL name with your MN name and unless you were to post on MN or FB what your RL and MN NN and RL names are, they can never be linked to the outside world.

We do have lots of great comps and offers on Facebook and lots more planned, pop over and like us to keep up to date with all of the latest.

If you are at all concerned or have any questions, then please do ask and we will happily explain.

That explains how I managed to enter. I don't even have a facebook account.

Just out of interest, when filling in the form asking for name and e-mail and MN nickname, is the mail address checked against the MN nickname?

Only ask because I've filled in the details (with a temporary throwaway mail address for this competition only) and hitting "Enter" does nothing.

I would expect there to be some change to the page if entry accepted.

My mail address is similar to [email protected] (and I know that some mail address checks splutter and choke on that form with so many full stops!)

Using Chrome browser on an iMac (if that helps).
