    I was wondering if anyone knew if you can enter competitions aimed at families as a couple? By this I mean for example, could I enter a competition such as "Florida trip for 2 adults and 2 children", without actually taking any children?

    Might sound odd but there are a lot of these types of promotions around and didn't want to miss out unecessarily, just as there are only 2 of us.

    Hi :)

    I won a trip to the lakes for a family (2+2) and just Me & Mr Melvis went, nothing was said about it. We're not lucky enough to have any children to take with us but I still enter them all :D hth xx

    There are loads and loads and loads of holiday competitions for 2 but only few and far between for families :think:

    Very true, and half the time when its a family holiday comp, they exclude taking them in School Holiday :(
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    Very strange I'm getting a grey envelope entered_small.gif instead of a green tick and a red envelope for multi-thread links multipage.gif

    the green tick has gone to the far left column and is now a "Hot thread with no new posts"

    I was interested about this too. There are only DH and I (for now :p) and some of the holiday comps that are for the UK (I'm disabled so find holidaying abroad quite hard :o) are for families of 2 adults and 2 children. i.e. I saw one for a holiday in the New Forest which was just that and I wasn't sure if I could enter as we don't have kids.
