We are long overdue for a contest

Hi! Remember when I used to give stuff away all the time? Wasn’t that fun?

I have one word for you: Neopets.

Actually… I lied. I always have more than one word. Try to contain your shock.

I have friends in high place, and this time they were kind enough to send along some goodies which I will be giving away to one lucky Want Not reader. What I have here is a copy of Codestone Quest (a PC CD-ROM game rated “E” for Everyone) and a 1,000 Neocash card, good towards anything you can buy in the NC Mall, which I gather would be useful if your child (or you—hey, I don’t judge) plays Neopets online.

In addition, they’re currently running a weekly giveaway through the end of the month, so you might want to check that out.

But if you want to win the above-mentioned swag, leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, January 18th, 2008. I’ll select a winner randomly, and then you will receive your own little slice of Neopet mania. Ready? Go!

    My boys both love neopets. Sometimes it sounds like a foreign language to me!

  3. Beth on January 17, 2008 at 3:04 pm

    I have three boys who love Neopets almost as much as I love WantNot. Count me in the drawing!

  4. Jamie on January 17, 2008 at 3:13 pm

    sweet sweet mir.

    does groveling win you points? My brother LOVES this. He has been such a lifesaver for me the last year as he has picked up my son daily from school. I would LOVE to be able to give him something to show my appreciation.

    Thanks!!
