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. You can find past winners on our previous 'Won anything?' thread here.

Best of luck!

I was pleased to receive Coming Home by Fern Britten and enjoyed it very much. Thank you. A nice story with a happy ending. I would read more of her books now .... they’re always set in Cornwall which is nice. I have now passed it on to my friend.

Thank you very much, GNHQ! The plans for the weekend sound lovely. smile

We’ve just got home from a city break, so I won’t unpack all the mini toiletries from the wheelie just yet. grin

Blinko Sat 01-Sept-18 16:46:22

Thanks very much, GNHQ.. The book has arrived and I'm looking forward to it. Voucher should arrive in the coming week, I guess. Can't wait!

I won the trip stay in London and tickets to see the King and I. One of my daughters in law accompanied me, the show was wonderful, lavish costumes and sets and the hotel was good too. Thank you Gransnet a real treat.

mabon1 - very glad to hear you had a splendid time in London.

I come bearing more good news... Congratulations to humptydumpty who has won tickets to the premiere of The Little Stranger in Dublin and a night's stay in the Castleknock Hotel! Please do check your emails asap.

Congratulations to Silverfox57 who has won a Tom Fletcher Book Club children's book bundle as the winner of our book competition!

Please see your emails for details about your win.

Blinko Thu 20-Sept-18 15:06:05

I won a book and a voucher for £100 for BonMarche. I received the book pretty pronto but so far ( after nearly a month) no voucher. I'm not sure if this is normal, or if they (whoever 'they' are) have forgotten. Just wondering, how long have others waited for prizes?

Harris27 Fri 21-Sept-18 12:47:17

I'm still waiting for a prize I won two months ago (from different magazine) getting fed up now waiting!!! Takes the niceness off it.

LauraGransnet (GNHQ) Fri 21-Sept-18 15:50:41

Blinko - I did send you an email earlier actually. Bonmarche should have sent your voucher this week, so keep us updated on whether or not you receive it early next week!

LauraGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 25-Sept-18 15:41:16

Congratulations to Lorelei and jenpax who have both won a Roald Dahl book bundle and costume for the little'uns in your families!

Please check your emails for more details smile

I was the lucky winner of the MC Beaton competition and DH and I had a wonderful time this weekend up in beautiful Stirling. The weather was perfect, the hotel spot on, and my leg muscles appreciated all the hill-climbing. grin The highlights were of course our afternoon tea with the author, who was so interesting and charming, and then the fun Q and A session with MC Beaton and Ashley Jensen, the Agatha Raisin star. Thank you again, GNHQ, for a great experience.

LauraGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 27-Sept-18 10:29:23

So lovely to hear MaggieMaybe smile

We have some more good news this morning...

Well done to 123kitty and willowcott who have both won a signed copy of Lucinda Miller's The Good Stuff! Please do check your emails for further details.

Dockersgirl1955 Sun 30-Sept-18 05:07:10

I have never won anything so it would be nice to win something I don't expect I will though

Thank you Gransnet, for surprising me with a copy of 'An Italian Summer' which I look forward to reading when I finish my current book. It's lovely to get something nice through the letterbox unexpectedly! smile

Thank you for the surprise GN, it really cheered me up.
