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!

Ooh! One of those nights when you just can't get off to sleep, so I logged on to check my emails. Found a funny ha-ha message from a very good friend (personal) and an exciting message from another good friend (GN) to say I've won a set of all 4 QI Facts paperbacks! No way can I sleep now - I'm waiting for the postman! Thanks in anticipation and I promise to let you know when they arrive!

Has anyone else been allocated the holiday to Cornwall yet, that I had to reluctantly turn down? It hasn`t been mentioned on here yet.

Thank you for my copy of Please Enjoy Your Happiness, which I will start in a little while. :-)

Thank you for my copy of Just for the Holidays too. I have to admit to a moment's excitement when I read the Emails's title, thinking I might have won a holiday! This is the first item I have won for ages, so many thanks.

Welshmaiden - great minds think alike!
Thank you GN for 'Please enjoy your happiness' received safely today. I love this style of book and will also be taking my copy on holiday in a couple of weeks! Looks good, light holiday reading, thank you!

Thank you so much for the book 'Please enjoy your happiness' which I received this morning. I shall take on holiday with me to read in Cornwall!

21 Rituals to Change Your Life - many thanks for a fascinating book! The first ritual I took on board was deep breathing, it works well, especially during hospital appointments!

Thank you for my book, Home Cook, by Thomasina Miers. A beautifully presented book.

Thanks from me too for the Ted books that arrived this morning. They will be going to my nieces children and will so much appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you for the Ted books that arrived this morning. I look forward to sharing them with DGS.

That's a shame BBbevan, but when a holiday is mainly geared to children, it would make more sense to make it during school holidays. My youngest son and his wife would have gone with me, but they have a little boy at school, and DIL works in a school.

callgirl1. I have been offered your prize. My son and his family love Cornwall so we thought to ask them to join us. Sadly none of the dates fit in with school holidays and a long car journey from East London. So like you I must hand this prize back. ☹️

callgirl1 Thu 11-May-17 22:06:22

Maggiemaybe, I`ve handed my prize back, sadly. Hopefully it`ll be "one of us" who gets it in my place.

suttonJ Mon 08-May-17 22:02:26

Thanks for the copy of 'Dragons Green'.....my grand daughter is excited at the thought of a book, likened to a new Harry Potter.

Maggiemaybe Sat 06-May-17 15:57:57

Oh, callgirl, I do hope you find someone! I didn't enter this one, as flights to Cornwall from up here in Yorkshire only operate in the Summer, but it looks like a lovely place to take the family. Fingers crossed for you.

Packing my bags to enjoy my holiday very soon. So excited and thank you Gransnet.smile

middleagespread Thu 04-May-17 13:32:57

Taking my prize this month and getting very excited.Will keep you posted smile

callgirl1 Thu 04-May-17 09:53:08

Dear Gransnet, please could I rescind my statement of yesterday for a little longer, just in case I can persuade anyone to go on the holiday with me? Thank you xx

callgirl1 Wed 03-May-17 17:42:50

Dear Gransnet, Despite the fact that I was so thrilled to be told that I`d won the Cornwall holiday, I have to regretfully turn it down, due to the fact that I can`t find anyone who wants to go to Cornwall in the winter. I was so looking forward to going as well. Oh well......! Thank you anyway xx

grandmaz Wed 03-May-17 10:41:40

Thank you so much for the lovely surprise which the postman brought yesteray! smile I am really looking forward to reading This Must Be The Place...saving it for my holiday in late May!

Nonny Tue 02-May-17 17:44:25

Thank you for the Maggie O'Farrell book, "This must be the place." I will look forward to reading it when I am away in two weeks time.
