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!

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.

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

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.

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!

To be fair to everyone I will not enter any give-aways for a while as I am on a winning streak! I feel guilty blush
I won the lovely TED books a few weeks ago which my grandchildren adore so I can't offer give them away.
Then I won 'Please enjoy your happiness'which I had planned to take it on my hols but due to a sudden ear problem last weekend the holiday had to be cancelled sad We should be in the Med now but flying is a NoNo for a while sad again! To cheer myself up I began reading it last night.
Today I received a copy of the 1234 Facts book which is fascinating but this has already been grabbed by my dear little 87yr old neighbour who wants it when I have read it!
When I have finished 'Please enjoy your happiness' is there anyone out there who would like it? It would help my conscience if I could give it away to a GNetter who wasn't lucky enough to be drawn out of the hat!
If you would like it please PM me your email address and we can make contact. I will post it free of charge of course as I feel so thrilled blush to have won three times in almost as many months.
Any takers? If not I will find it a good home as it looks a good book!

Thank you GN, 4 books of QI Facts gratefully received. I know I'm going to enjoy these just from one example on the back cover of Facts To Blow Your Socks Off - The dialling code for Russia is 007 grin

Jalima1108 Thu 22-Jun-17 14:31:54

that's nice fourormore smile

We bought raffle tickets at a do recently, loads and loads of prizes which we had all donated - I did win a bottle of Prosecco but DH won nothing nor did another chap on our table - however someone on our table won six prizes and didn't put a single one back in again!!

Pittcity Thu 22-Jun-17 15:50:45

The post just came - I'm looking forward to reading Just for the Holidays.Many thanks!
As we still have no library it will also acquire several other local readers!

Chewbacca Fri 30-Jun-17 16:37:48

So pleased! 3 books arrived today, 1 for me and 1 each for my grandchildren. I'm just delighted because they're exactly the sort of books that I would have chosen. Thank you Gransnet!

Grannyknot Sat 01-Jul-17 10:11:40

Thank you so much for my 3 books. (All for me smile - my grandson is 3 and has his own "Library" I kid you not. He is the only child of parents in their 40s, what can I say?!) grin

Dadima123 Tue 04-Jul-17 13:51:25

Looking forward to receiving and reading the book.
Many thanks, Gransnet!

My grandchildren were delighted with the books received. Within minutes of receiving them, they had already begun one of the craft projects. Glue, paper plates and paints everywhere but a lot of fun was had and much more to follow. Thank you GNHQ x
