Well done! That's fantastic. My family are going to L.A in October thank to a comp on ebay sponsored by Monsters Vs Aliens. We're going to Universal Studios and my children will be going to a studio that specialises in masks. They'll get to make their own latex monster mask and be able to take it home with them.
We can't wait!
As for bumping - you shouldn't really bump comps that are on the current comps pages, but once they're in Game Over it's fine to chat about them. xx0 -
Congratulations, they'll love it!ChelseaGirl wrote: »Well done! That's fantastic. My family are going to L.A in October thank to a comp on ebay sponsored by Monsters Vs Aliens.

The hotel I stayed at was actually going to be the Renaissance, but it was changed at a later date to the Hollywood Roosevelt and I'm so glad now it was changed, we checked out the Renaissance and it was very 'business'y and a bit boring but the Roosevelt just had so much character.
Btw, tell your family to visit a little beverage store called 'Dlush' on Hollywood Boulevard, they do the nicest Oreo Milkshakes and Strawberry Mango lemonades!0
