Thanks once upon a dream! 4* holiday to tenerife win ok!

:j:j:j:j:beer::beer::beer::beer:

Well if you don't ask you don't get!

I am a very happy bunny at the moment :j:j:j, to cut a long story short I searched my name on the winners circle yesterday afternoon and saw a holiday win to tenerife which i had missed from 9 November. I wasn't sure if it was me or not (as hadn't received an email), but knew I had entered that comp posted by Onceuponadream :A. Anyhow, The T & C's stated that the winner had to contact them within 7 days of receiving the email, and book by 21 November, so I thought it was game over.

But, as a last ditched attempt, I decided to contact Lowcostholidays to check if it was indeed me (not someone else with the same name), and they got back this morning to say that the email was sent to me but could have been sent to a spam folder. So they decided that they would award me the 4* holiday to tenerife to be taken in january despite my claim being 10 days out of date! I am so grateful that they were kind enough to still offer the holiday.

So now hubby and me are off for our first holiday alone in 6 years (they wouldn't let me pay for the kids as an add on).

November has been an amazing month for me comping, I can't quite belive it!

Thank you again compers!!!
