What has been your favourite win of 2011?... :)

Comments

  • Mine was a 4 night 'glamping' break on a Featherdown Farm in Dorset from Ambrosia/Ant & Dec/ITV. My OH and I had a fantastic time and would love to go again. Probably one of the best holidays I've ever been on.

    Thanks to everyone who posts comps or contributes with answers etc. and wishing you all the best of luck for 2012

  • My favourite win that I've used in 2011 was a trip to London earlier this year - hotel, travel, meals and tickets to a show were all included! Was brilliant to go away for the night and not spend a thing!

    A couple of days before Christmas I got the most fantastic phone call to say we've won a 3-night family trip to Lapland :) This is definitely my best win of the year, but is for winter 2012 (so will probably be top of my favourite wins in 2012 list!) :)
    Best of 2011: London Trip,Hot Air Balloon,£1660, phone,Kindle,Trip to Lapland! Total 2011 wins: £6865
    Best of 2012: Trip to Disneyland Paris, £1665 cash/vouchers, trip to Harrogate, trip to Birmingham, £230 vacuum, 2 x mobile phones, Olympics tickets! Total 2012 wins: £6624

    My favourite has to be the night I won at "Lodge on Loch Lomond" at Luss. It was a night for 2 in a gorgeous room with a balcony overlooking the Loch with dinner and breakfast included. The weather was beautiful for us and as it was only for one night people volunteered to have the kids so it was a bit like a 2nd honeymoon! We would never have paid to stay there so it was a real treat.
