We've always got something fabulous up for grabs here on Gransnet. If you've got any questions about a prize or would like to discuss what you've won with fellow gransnetters, feel free to post here.

Also - do check your emails around the closing date of the competition you've entered. If you've won, we would have emailed you the details. Don't forget to check your junk mail, as sometimes our mails slip through the net.

If you've got your posts in chronological order, click on 'Last' at the top of this thread to skip to the last page of this thread for the most recent winners.

Best of luck!

Thank you so much! Considering that I never win anything, I do really well on GN, so thank you!

Congrats to the other wise people especially Maggie!

Now, I'm left wondering which particular words of wisdom it was! confused

HMHNanna Mon 07-Apr-14 11:58:42

Thank you once again Gransnet! I am also wondering which words of wisdom it was.

Maggiemaybe Mon 07-Apr-14 12:13:45

Thank you so much, Gransnet and PanMacmillan - I am over the moon and you've certainly brightened up a miserable Monday morning for me!

Thank you for the congratulations, kitty smile I'm off to browse the Forest Holidays website now!

I am the winner of the Hotel Connexions vouchers and was notified over 3 weeks ago and have still not received them. I was also promised the PR would be asked but to no avail. I have sent 4 or 5 emails and I am very disappointed to say the least. It was wonderful to hear I had won something, then a big letdown as it doesn't appear sad
Does anyone on here who wins a 'prize' actually receive anything as it all sounds like its becoming a bit of a con to me?????
Thanks

kittylester Tue 15-Apr-14 10:50:34

Spidergran, I'm sure you are disappointed as there appears to be a hiccup with your prize.

I have won some great prizes on GN and have always received exactly what I was promised. There was a problem with one of my prizes and GNHQ were extremely helpful in sorting it out!

rosequartz Tue 15-Apr-14 20:22:12

I received my book very promptly

Are they using a 3rd party?

glassortwo Tue 15-Apr-14 20:44:40

spider I have won Hotel Connexions vouchers in the past and did receive them and have since used them and had fantastic customer service from Hotel Connexions.

I have also won other prizes through GN and have always received what ever the prize, so no its not a con!!!!

Spidergran Wed 16-Apr-14 21:46:01

Thank you for messages of hope! Fingers crossed I will have them soon and experience a nice break smile)

glammanana Thu 17-Apr-14 07:26:31

Having to agree with glass its certainly not a "con" Spidergran I have won some fabulous prizes over the years,maybe the PR people are just at a busy time.

Annie29 Thu 17-Apr-14 15:20:59

Thank you for my copy of Almost English. I enjoyed reading it but was disappointed with the way it ended, the ending seemed rushed.

bmteal Mon 21-Apr-14 11:35:44

Thank you so much for 'Let the Leopard Loose and Pockety' books. I cannot wait to read them to my Grandchildren when they visit.
I love your site and the competitions are great.

bmteal Mon 21-Apr-14 11:39:36

Oh my I'am lucky, so a big thank you for 'I want my Mummy' Lovely book to read to my Grandchildren.

I won £100 worth of gardening vouchers earlier this year, and we spent most of them this morning at a local garden centre, buying amongst other biys, wildflowers and other insect friendly plants. Husband is so happy, if he had a tail it would be wagging. Thanks GN and all the sponsors too smile
