Where was it to? How long for? Did you go? What was your experience like?
I would love to win a holiday for my parents. Not sure if they'd let you send family members in your place though!

Nope
Hopefully this year though!
And...high Pickles!I just enter and forget...hoping to win something!0 -
Never won one! But then again I don't enter very many as most are places with ridiculously high temperatures, and with my pale skin I would turn into a crisp as soon as I set foot outside. I'd like to win one for my sister and brother-in-law to repay them for taking me and my daughter on holiday years ago though; that would be nice.0

I have won two holidays but they were 19 & 20 years ago. The first was a slogan comp with Do It All and an All Inclusive trip to Barbados and the second a week in Greece with Woman magazine (coupon from mag before online!). I guess it was a little easier back than as less entries and a bit more effort had to go into posting off etc.0

Won a week in Abu Dhabi last year. The holiday was bed and breakfast plus one evening meal so we knew we would have to pay for other meals. Fortunately on the flight out they need volunteers to take a later flight and we got paid £800 to wait an extra couple of hours at the airport.
Abu Dhabi wasn't really somewhere I would have chosen for a holiday and unless I win another holiday there I probably wouldn't go back but it was an amazing experience.Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.
Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

Yes. a week in a villa in Menorca(was great,own pool and just yards away from wonderful quiet,bay)
2nd. a long weekend at Holiday Inn at Calais(including Euro tunnel)
Both with our local newspaper
3rd. On here,4 days in Bluestone in Wales. Went last month,weather cold but dry. Lovely lodge,did lots of sight-seeing.0 -
Won a 14 nights cruise trip recently. Going for a Caribbean cruise in Dec.
I don't think they will allow your parents to take the trip in your place if you win. If it is a family trip you all can take it but winner should travel in most of the cases.Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing0
