Bugger... so i entered the bonds competition, but didnt see the banner that said where they were sold so just guessed (wrongly as it turns out).
And NOW they have the banner ads saying where they were sold... they were not up yesterday cause i looked everywhere! Why have a competition and not put up the info needed to answer it correctly! grrr  ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

| Yep, yesterday it said click on the banner and it would tell you....but all it did was take me to the competition page. I did a google search and found a NZ retailer, so who knows...haven't tried the updated banner. |

Yeah I wondered if I was just being blind yesterday - doesn't help that they said the answer would be in a banner ad and it's actually on a tile ad.
I just held off entering yesterday even though I was sure I knew the answer. -------------

I found it yesterday using the instructions after clicking on the banner.. It said to use the search function, and I did. It was definitely there

| Ahhh but when I clicked on the banner yesterday, there were no instructions that came up...the banner stayed the same and a new window opened with the competition details. |

Yeah the same thing happened when I clicked it, and it was just underneath the area where you put the answer in that it said something along the lines of "use the search to find the answer". |

OK the text under the answer box says:
(Look for the Baby Bonds banners and click to find the answer) And if I click the banner I get the same as Bizzy - the same competition page opens. There's nothing about using the search function. Maybe it's because I'm using firefox not IE? -------------

| That's what I got too...and I'm using Firefox. Nothing about the search function. |

its not a banner ad tho - its there today but wasnt yesterday. the answer is in one of those box ads on the right hand side... its the one at the top. but you can only enter the comp once per email address. and yeah it didnt say use the search function for me yesterday or today.
edited my bad spelling... ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Honestly ladies, it did mention using the search function yesterday (not today) - that's how I found the answer..and it was correct too! Am I not trustworthy? haha |

My mum says I'm trustworthy
Yeah, weird. I just remember clicking on the top banner and somewhere along the line it saying to use the search function, so I did. I guess they realised it needed to be fixed which is why it's different today. Surely you can enter again today with the correct answer due to the circumstances? |

| Nope, I tried and it says that I've already entered with this email address...I guess Emma might be along later who can fill us in a bit more?? |

Hi guys,
Sorry you've found the Baby Bonds competition a bit confusing, I've amended the competition hint to make it a little clearer. The tile/banner/mini skyscraper was definitely there yesterday tho - it's been live since Monday

Yeah, the two banners weren't live for me at the same time originally. I just waited expecting that something more was coming and the extra little ad thingy came up the following day so I entered then. ------------- Ev, Mum to: Carys Ruby - 4 October 2007 Spencer James - 2 July 2010 |

| I also clicked the banner heaps of times to see what I was missing....still never got the search instructions!! And the one on the right definitely wasn't there either... |

Yep, definitely with you girls - there were no searching instructions for the ad when the top banner first appeared and the little in-page ad didn't appear for me until yesterday.
I think I should win a set now for being clever and waiting ------------- Ev, Mum to: Carys Ruby - 4 October 2007 Spencer James - 2 July 2010 |

I definitely saw the clue and entered the competition on Monday. Apparently I'm the only one who was able to figure out the super-duper-difficult-clue, so this MUST be worth a prize!! Haha
*yay me for being awesome* |
