Something For The Weekend - Win 1 of 6 Luxury European City Breaks with Thornton's

Hello again compers!  How was your week, any nice wins to report?  Just the one little win for March so far for me – am organic cotton Babygro from Vertbaudet – as my youngest is five this will make a great gift for a friend’s child.  Been such a busy week that I haven’t done as much comping as I would like.  I have also been battling with an ear infection and now a chest infection, so really not feeling on top form.  Hoping to get some good comping in over the weekend, as I am still desperately looking to win a break away or even a night in London for me and the hubby! 

January and February are really quiet months for comps usually, but by the time March comes around things starts to pick back up.  We have Mother’s Day coming up (15^th March) and then Easter (3^rd April), so promoters are really starting to crank up their efforts when it comes to giving goodies away.  One thing you can count on this time of year is seeing lots and lots of chocolate in the shops - be it in the form of Mother’s Day selection boxes, chocolate eggs or the obligatory chocolate bunny.  If you are looking to buy some choccies this weekend why not keep an eye out for special promotional boxes of Thornton’s Continental Chocolates.  To celebrate 60 years of the classic chocolate selection, Thornton’s are giving away six luxury European city breaks, as well as 60 x £100 Secret Escapes travel prizes.  Pick up a promotional box, enter the unique code online at http://continentalcitybreak.co.uk and you could be jetting off to Dublin, Paris or maybe Rome with £780 to spend at the Secret Escapes website.  Runners up can win one of 60 x £100 credit to spend at the website, and all non-winning submissions also win a £5 credit for the website.  Winners will be notified instantly on screen, and all entries must be received by 23:59 on 31^st August 2015 to be counted.  So why not pick up a few boxes when you see them, and you have presents for Mother’s Day, Easter, birthdays and end of term teacher’s gifts all sorted.  And who knows, you could be heading off on a chic city break into the bargain!
