    I won a fly drive to anywhere in USA, so we went to Maui, Hawaii. I'd say it was around £1,500.

    Then I won a week in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It was valued at £5,000, but I very much doubt it.

    Oooooh I still get such joy from the thoughts of the freebie holz, as I sit & await my holiday hat trick :D
