    Some of us may be closer to the time when we have to use this prize but I still plan on banking it for a few years yet :eek:

    I think it is an excellent idea for a prize :)


    Wonder if lazuli is my son-in-law xxxx
    Thanks to all OP's your efforts are much appreciated :A

    Same here, but I'm not tempting fate, could be just a bit too money saving - I wonder how many emails/calls we'll get, trying to sell us a funeral plan

    If I win I'm going to give the prize to DH, he's always moaning that I never win anything for him:rotfl:

    I've entered but as there's longevity in my family, the people running the comp may have all 'sodden off' by then. Will they still honour the prize years and years later? :rotfl:In the words of William Hague. Hague told his audience, with tongue-only-half-in-cheek: "It's all right for you. You won't be here in 30 or 40 years' time."
