  • wow! cant believe some of the fantastic wins here, even multiple holiday wins in a year! Fantastic!

    I have just won a £1000 BA voucher so my hubby and I are going to put it towards a weeks long holiday to Cyprus as I have always wanted to visit.

    Would love to win a holiday to somewhere like Mexico, Bahamas or even Florida all expenses paid with the kids (you'd need another holiday to get over that one though id imagine!) Gotta be in it to win it!

    loving this post!


    Last year I won a 2 nights in Paris, hotel b&b near the Grand Boulevards and Eurostar return.


    And my most amazing win so far, 10 nights in Alberta, Canada - flights, 3 nights in Banff, 3 nights in Jasper and 2 nights at Lake Louise, all Fairmont hotels in suites. In the Fairmont Lake Louise we had a room on level 7 ( the VIP floor) where we had our own concierge, bar and free snacks. All meals were included at all hotels, as well as a hire car for the duration of the holiday. We also had loads of activities organised and included - a helicopter tour over the Rockies, white water rafting, horse ride with a BBQ cookout, mountain biking, Kayaking, a trip on to a glacier, Kayaking... absolutely loved it and were spoilt rotten! Not sure how much it cost but we estimated around £10,000.


    Still entering but no luck this year!
  • Won a week long, all inclusive holiday in Phuket, worth about 3k
  • I've won a few UK mini breaks but my best ever holiday win was a week ski trip to Norway worth about £5k. It included flights, transfers, all the ski palarver, £500 spending money, half board which was the most amazing food and husky sledging which was properly brilliant.

    £1000 to spend with home away holiday lets. We used about £500 for accommodation in England, about £350 for car ferry (car and 4 people - we live in N. Ireland) and took the rest in cash.
    We are also just back from a holiday in Poland, cost approx £800.
