Holiday prize question...

Options
I notice that most holiday prizes are for 2 people. I always enter them but in the back of my mind I always think about if I won then my little 18 month old would be stuck at home without us for 7 or 14 days.

Do you think there are any flexibility for these prizes where you could pay for an extra person etc. Or do you think the terms and conditions are very fixed?

Not that I would ever win, but I like to dream! x

    Varies some certainly allow alterations so it is best just to "enter and hope" and not worry about it until you win.

    usually under 2s don't count towards "persons" on a holiday but bear in mind that if a flight is included they have to sit on your lap

    If the prize doesn't suit me I don't enter.

    Try it sometime Snake - it's frightfully exciting and just a little risque. Go on - life on the competition edge! :):)

    Why would I want to waste a prize and spoil it for somebody who could have used it ? Not what I would class as exciting.

    Luckily the hotel were wonderful and let them stay for free :)
