in I won! I won! I won!
I have won a hot air balloon trip with Virgin :T :T

I just can't believe it, as it is one of my two most wanted wins :D:D:D


A parcel came with what looked like a rucksack. Also inside was a voucher for £285 for a balloon ride with Virgin. Inside the rucksack was a map of locations, binoculars a cap and a dvd about hot air ballooning. I don't know if the voucher is for one or two people. Still somewhere in the clouds myself :rotfl: . Not sure what comp. It may have been a postal as I remember entering a few postal comps for this prize as well as online.


Sooo happy!:D
