    I won a week in Ibiza for 2 but they offered me £1,000 cheque instead and I took it and put it towards a family holiday instead.
    Also won a few short breaks, 1nt Lodge on Loch Lomond, 2 nts at Holiday Inn Lancaster, 1 ngt Holiday Inn Stoke on Trent, 1 night Jurys Inn ,1 ngt Novo Hotel, 2 nights Muncaster Castle and 1 ngt Ravenstone Lodge near Keswick. Have also won 2 x 4 ngt Bluestone breaks.
    I enter all the short break comps I see that are within reasonable reach though and have started entering for longer breaks too as kids are older now.


    Lodge at Loch Lomond is only a stone throw from us are we are in Helensburgh however I would snap an overnight stay/meal there up in a second as lovely!! Xx

    I've won two little weekends away...

    3 Nights in a camping pod in Dorset
    2 Nights in a gorgeous B&B in Devon (went last weekend), it included 2 x 3 course meals and breakfasts both mornings... it was absolutely gorgeous and the food had to be the best I've ever tasted! :D

    I'm desperate to win a lovely holiday somewhere hot! Not been away in 3 years and I've started Uni so won't be able to afford another for a few years!
    Best Wins 2016: OMFG Zone Tickets at Busted, Fitness Goodies, Nails Inc Set, Vip Fusion Festival Tickets & Busted Meet and Greet :j

    This week i've won a 7 day holiday to Tenerife. I dont usually enter for holidays as i'm paranoid something will go wrong and i'll be stuck in a foreign place with no money hah!
  • I won £1700 from The Guardian to spend on a holiday of my choice so mum, sister and I just came back from 4 nights in Rome on Friday! They booked in tickets for the Vatican Museums & Coliseum tour so I've seen all the sights :)

    Also previously won three nights in Glasgow (with flights!) for four and a posh meal, two nights in Bournemouth, two nights in London and a further three overnights stays in London. I won one of these on Friday while still in Rome! :D

    Holiday wish list includes New York, Prague & Iceland - but anywhere would be fab really :D
    Make £2019 in 2019 No 153 - £4517.17/£2019

    I have never won one abroad but I did win a short break to Scotland once. It was lovely, we got spending money which we used for the train tickets. We also got a dinner out and some books.
  • I started comping in 2011 and have won 2 brilliant holidays
    2012 - a weeks all inclusive at 5 star hotel in Turkey
    2013 - a weeks full board at a 4 star hotel in Croatia

    Id love to go back to both hotels but at 2k and £800 each for a week its not likely without a very big cash win!!
  • I've been lucky
    Won a holiday to Egypt - but holiday company went bust. They sent me a cheque for £500 (nowhere near the cost of the holiday but still!) and I used it to go to Lanzarote
    Flights to Hanover
    Flights to Cancun
    Weekend In London x 2
    Weekend in Northamptonshire
    Week in National Trust Cottage - we chose Anglesey
    Weekend in Paris - with trips and spending money
    7 nights in Indonesia - just come back from this. We paid to extend it by a week and stayed in some of the most beautiful places ever.
    I love travelling and holiday comps are my main focus. (I have also been comping for over 10 years!)

    Good luck all!


    HUGE THANKS! To all those who post comps and answers
