Ninth Anniversary Combo Breaker
in I won! I won! I won!
Hi all

I am an impoverished mature student and in desperate need of a holiday with my other half. I stumbled on this forum when entering an online competition and decided I was going to become a comper to win us a holiday - and I have!

I can honestly say I've never won anything before and I only started on Wednesday so pretty lucky!

Thanks to Laksmi7 for posting the comp.

Have a good weekend all :beer:

    I went to that hotel when it used to be called Flamingo Benidorm - they have since upgraded all the rooms and changed name.

    This is the hotel now
