    Hello fellow compers just popped in to say Hi and ask a quick question, I have been comping for a few years now, I haven't been lucky enough to win a Holiday yet and this is my Dream, Can i ask we are a family of 4 is it worth entering holidays for 2? Do they allow you to pay the extra?

    Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday



    hi
    in my case yes yes & yes
    we 'were' a family of three & on three of my holiday wins for two i asked to add gs... they said yes,
    once he was added to a Direct Holidays hol & i paid the child price (STV)
    2nd time it was a marvellous 6 day breaK in Ireland in 3 diff hotels 4 & 5 *
    they added gs for nothing :D :T(Saturday Express)
    3rd time with local paper win, we added gs & mil & paid for them.

    fingers crossed for you images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRfT6FPM-qx6oSwZQWwZiKD9f51rU-Y5cuAAAK6xbdCSuqhuU8&t=1&h=193&w=144&usg=__cEWQjVs2FPUpGy2CCRUcvpXBToI=

    Hi everyone, sorry a bit late finatra did you join costco, our friends go once a month and stock up but they have an empty garage and spare room to store everything, they also buy big items tv's and things their. Hope this helps.

    Thanks Benhams - yes we did go to Costco today - spent £500:eek::eek: Feels a bit sore atm but time will tell if it has been worthwhile - £100 of that was new pots & pans which I have been trying to win since I started comping:o I couldn't wait any longer though as they were burning everything I cooked. We bought them when we moved in here nearly 14 years ago £19.99 for the full set from Argos so they didn't owe us anything:D
    Another £120 was a case of champagne for my mums 70th Birthday in Oct so not as bad as it seems
    Hopefully my Asda spend over the next few months will be minimal now & the freezer, fridge & cupboards are full to bursting

    i been lookin n lookin n thinkin n thinkin all afternoon now my brain is frazzled :wall:

    so its time to call in the a team, well the inn team :)

    can you help :question:

    i entered a comp on here and not sure if its now GO, but i want to find it again, if only i could think of one good keyword it would be found instantly

    ok, details - they r sketchy but im sure someone will prob be able to identify it

    end date - dunno
    prize - dunno
    promoter - dunno
    entry - you had to come up with a word/term that you thought would be likely to be adopted over the next 10 years along with a brief description of why

    i know the OP had some obscure words in there as examples of the kind of thing they were looking for, ones that had been introduced in the last decade but for the life of me cant remember any of them

    thats all i got for you to go on folks, sorry :o

    GL ;)

    & thanks...

    I was off looking for it too - was trying metrosexual, fashionista etc - I could remember the comp & knew I liked one of the words in it but couldn't remember what one - 'smirting' great word

    -RED where did you try downloading spybot from - at what point did it freeze?
