Thumbs up to Take a Break

I know some competition promoters are very strict on prizes, no changes or transfers etc. Last year I won a family holiday in Devon, I can't go and they let me transfer it to a family with a disabled child. The holiday park only has caravans that are wheelchair accessible and more expensive so the family were going to have to pay extra. Instead Take a Break has sorted out a holiday for them at no cost, at a different type of holiday park and much closer to home as the child struggles with travel. I thought it was really lovely of them and as we moan sometimes about problems with prizes I thought I would share
Best wins in 2013 £200 and Mini iPad. 2014 no wins. 2015 2 nights 5* hotel with £300 vouchers plus £1150 Harrods gift card

That's fantastic - well done TAB and well done OP for donating it, hope something lovely comes your way soon:A"If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you. "
