  • Thanks to Etch, I won this competition in October 2012 and we went a few weeks back.

    Chewton Glen was THE nicest place I have ever been too and I wish we could go back some day. In total it would have been over £4000 to pay for.

    This was outside the hotel entrance, sorry it’s dark.

    The living room of the suite. We were upgraded to the Jacob Faithful suite which was incredible!! There was a nespresso machine free of charge, B&O Cd/iPod players, free water/juice in fridge, tablet at the back to order Room service or call reception etc.
    They also gave us a bottle of champagne and chocolates on arrival!

    The view from our terrace connected to the bedroom and living room. This was only a small part of the view, but so sweet!

    We were given a free spa treatment, the spa pool was incredible and we also got full body massages. Then we took out mountain bikes free of charge and went on a long cycle.

    The whole thing was just heaven and the staff there are incredible. It was the best win I could have ever hoped for and I am so eternally grateful to Etch!

    Okay so just back from Lapland, Finland. I won the trip there on the Wednesday and we were there on the Saturday. It didn't include the flights but trip and activities were worth £3000! Whilst there between the two of us all we spent in six days was £20 on a few drinks, cakes and a bus ride.

    The trip included a two hour reindeer ride.

    On the last night the northern lights came out and it was spectacular, however my photos were. My hands were shaking too much.

    We came home to this. Ever wondered what £100 of thorntons chocolate and sweets would look like!

    Congratulations!:j
    Some good wins there to say you've only been comping a month!! May I ask how many do you enter a day? / how many hours. Gave up coming last year... thinking I should start again
    xx

    I probably spend about an hour or two max, when I come home from work and there's nothing really good on television. In an hour I could enter about 50-70 competitions especially since a lot of them are Twitter comps :)
