never experienced the wonders of an airport so a short break sounds ideal for me0

What's the usual response, Jo?
I think that's a really good way of handling the situation, incidentally
So far, they've always been very friendly and said of course!
Virgin Money actually replied recently with "Hi Jo, No don't worry if you win you could go as a couple, you don't have to borrow any friends' children if you win!"
They even favourited it
I'd bump the thread, but usually enter by end date (literally on that date) so often too late really to tell everyone. Starting to enter just holidays first, so if I get a response early enough, I'll add a post to the comp listing.

We are a family of 2 adults and a child just turned 13 and i have continued to enter 2+2 under 12 comps in the hope that as i only want three places it would even itself out! - or i could pay the difference.
My thought is if i win and they say no, then i haven't lost anything
Although more and more comps are saying no school hols, which its very frustrating as i would not take my son out of school and i cannot get the time off either as i work in a school0 -
I thought I had read "something somewhere" that they couldn't advertise a prize as a family holiday if all school holidays were black out dates?0

There's only me and my partner so I don't enter these ones, would rather a typical 'family' ie a person or couple with children win them.0
