    Thats how I feel, just because the RRP is £5 doesnt mean its worth £5. Like this item Ive got it retails £2.73 but its not something I would buy anyway
    Wins so far this year: Mum to be bath set, follow me Domino Dog, Vital baby feeding set, Spiderman goody bag, free pack of Kiplings cakes, £15 love to shop voucher, HTC Desire, Olive oil cooking spray, Original Source Strawberry Shower Gel, Garnier skin care hamper, Marc Jacobs fragrance.

    Exactly not sure i will be rushing out to pay the £5 :cool: You may well fall on your feet and get the family holiday it says or even a nice new pram etc, but that £5 will buy nappies!!! lol Maybe when i was pregnant i might have but now my baby is 10 months?? i dont think i will join. I might have done when you just had to write reviews :rolleyes:

    wd on being one of the few lucky ones! me and my 2 sisters have had 1 thing each and well they were disappointing. Mine was a book which they used to give away FREE every month. Certain people are getting 3 or 4 items to test including expensive items

    Guys a well known parenting site I go on offers opportunities to test products...I got to test travel systems when my son was a tiny baby and got to keep 5 out of 6!

    It's www.askamum.co.uk and if you find the fifteen minutes of fame forum they often ask for testers on there, you just send an email. They also ask people for birth stories etc :)

    sorry forgot to mention the stories and testing of products end up in either Mother & Baby magazine or Pregnancy & Birth :) x
