UKTV Win

HI all

I won this comps last year but only took the prize this week. It was a 1 night 2 day spa break at Hoar Cross Hall and it was amazing. We had the Penthouse which was on 3 floors with sunken bath, walk in wardrobe, dressing room roof terrace etc etc. All meals and drinks were included and the food was incredible I have caviar, king prawns, venison, duck, all sorts and we got a bottle of champagne too. We also had a treatment each, ( facial and massage ) and could use all facilities and I even managed to get accidently hit in the face from Lee from BB3.We had a ball and makes the hours and hours of entering comps worth while.

Netx year we are going to london to use my £200 red letter day voucheers I won this year, so hopefully I can get 1 break away a year from comping and I would be delighted, I have 12months to win my mext break so fingers corseed.
And I hope this inspires any of you who are thinking of giving up to continue.

    Go on Lewpylew, I was really gettin dishearted last year when this came thru and I half expected it to be a con, it then took 6 months and lots of phonecalls for the prize details to be sent to me and even then when we were waiting for our bill we did so whilst holding our breaths. ( The bill was £5.25 - for our newspaper, nuts and fudge we brought :rotfl: the checking out girl reread the bill 3 times to make sure it was right).

    Then again this year I seemed to be winning nothing then got the red latter day prize and have won nothing since, but I would rather get one really good prize once a year than lots of small prizes I don't really want.
