    Well we went to this yesterday and it was really good. The VIP dinner wa lovely and so was the VIP champagne tasting. It was also good to rub shoulders with 'celebs'.

    Glad you had a good time. Just remembered I forgot to get someone to enter the Eglu comp for me though. :(

    There were a few eastenders actors there and obviously the people from the Grand Designs programme and some male singer my boyfriend recognised. Best bit was this HUGE chocolate fountain which you could dip into with strawberries and other stuff.

    Hi, I won tickets to the Grand Designs exhibition with the House Beautiful Comp, we went yesterday (thoroughly enjoyed it!). However the winning email said id won VIP tickets but I was only given ordinary ones at the box office, I didn't think anything of it till reading your thread and seeing you got a VIP dinner and champagne tasting.
    Feel gutted now! as that would have topped the day off nicely. Do you think I should email the House Beautiful people to let them know or deal with it (As Tracy from Big Brother would say) As we did have a great time and made a weekend of it seeing a show on the West End. It's just a bit annoying really.

    I was given normal tickets when we went to the box office but I went back and queried it and they said I was to go to a different box office where they gave me the VIP tickets. They didn't ask for my ID though so anyone could have got one.
