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!

Had an email from GN on 24 Sept saying I'd won the reasons why I travel competition. I chose Amazon voucher but haven't heard anything yet. Do vouchers come by post or email?

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

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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?

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

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.

Thank you so much for my copy of The Peacock Summer. It was a lovely surprise and I’m enjoying reading it. Thrilled to win a prize.

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!

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

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.
